This creative complex is the largest modern art museum in Europe and is home to the Public Library and the Modern Museum.

After all of your museum exploring, spoil yourself at the Georges Restaurant on the top floor of the museum for scenic views of the entire city while dining typically French cuisine.

Musée de la Vie Romantique: If Paris is the City of Love, what better way to fully capture the idea than to a visit to the Romantic Life museum?

Luckily, the folks at the Museum of French History do a great job at capturing this vital history in an interesting way. Get an idea of what France looked like through the ages with antique furniture, paintings and documents on display.
