Montmartre is one of my favorite areas in Paris because of its charm, and it’s worth an afternoon of just exploring.<\/p>\n

Located in the 18th Arrondissement in Paris, the main attraction in the area is the Sacre Coeur<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, be sure to walk the streets around it for hidden gems like the only wine vineyard<\/strong> in Paris, or the many chic cafes like La Maison Rose<\/strong> and Le Consulat.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This area is also great for photography, which is why I mentioned Montmartre plenty of times in my Paris Instagram Spots<\/a> post so be sure to bring your camera for charming streets and epic views of the city.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have time to visit Versailles just outside the city, the Palais Garnier Opera House<\/a> will get your opulent fix in. Seriously, this is one of the most beautiful buildings I’ve been in.<\/p>\n

Built in the late 1800s and made famous by the novel The Phantom of the Opera, this opera house should be on any design lovers’ itinerary. You can purchase tickets<\/a> in advance for $13! <\/p>\n

See a Paris Cabaret Show <\/h3>\n

Moulin Rouge: <\/strong><\/p>\n

The most famous Cabaret in Paris is the Moulin Rouge made up of 60 artists performing the “F\u00e9erie” show. This show can be sold out months in advance, so booking an advance ticket is a great idea to ensure a seat! <\/p>\n

Crazy Horse: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember the Beyonce “Partition” music video? Well, the whole video was inspired and filmed in Crazy Horse Cabaret<\/a> in Paris. Crazy Horse is a famous adult Parisian Cabaret. Dancers are nearly nude but it’s tastefully executed. The use of mirrors and lighting make it visually interesting, and a fun night out!<\/p>\n

It is a truly unique and memorable activity to add to your itinerary.<\/p>\n

Drinking Wine on the Seine is one of my favorite Parisian Activities. Yes, you can legally drink wine in the open in Paris. I wish this rule applied in the USA!<\/p>\n

So grab a bottle of wine and a few snacks and pick a spot along the Seine. <\/p>\n
