Five ways to Beat the summer crowds in Paris
Travel Paris in August. Thousands of Parisians flee the city for their annual summer holidays. Thousands of tourists are flooding in place to take. If you want to be one of them, it's a good time to be here: the weather is nice, the parks and gardens are green, and the roads are a little quieter. But you will soon tire in the line of waiting, fighting a good picture of a monument to get, and eat your lunch only surrounded by other tourists. You want some peace and quiet, or maybe even a chance to see some locals. Fortunately, there is more to Paris than the Champs-Elysées. This city is filled with off-the-beaten-path things to see and do, places where you can beat the crowds and still enjoy the magic of Paris. Here are five places to go to avoid the summer crowds in Paris:
La Grande Arche de la Défense
you have to drive to the outskirts get from Paris and away from the swarming masses to a close up of this impressive attraction. are directly aligned with the slightly older bow, the Arc de Triomphe, La Grande Arche de la Défense is strikingly impressive when viewed up close. His smooth, clean surface glistens in the sun, while the white steps will invite picnicked on to linger. La Défense is the modern part of Paris, filled with high-rise office buildings and business men and women who fill them. If it leave any Parisians in the city in August, this is where they will be is.
Musée National du Moyen Age
When the line to enter starts around the Louvre to the building wrap, you can go elsewhere to check , Paris is with museums touting famous works and historical knowledge filled. One of my favorite lesser known places, the Musée National du Moyen Age (National Museum of the Middle Ages), sometimes known as the Musée Cluny called. Look at the Roman baths, tombs of Notre Dame, and 13th and 14th century grave stones. Even better, sit in the dimly lit room, which houses the magnificent Unicorn tapestries . It is a hauntingly quiet place, just look perfect for their rich symbolism. Quietly tucked away in the Sorbonne / St away. Michel neighborhood, this museum offers all the art with half the jam.
Église Saint-Sulpice
According to Church rules, only a cathedral can exist in any city. In Paris, the property goes to Notre Dame ... and it has to prove the long entry lines. Beat visit the set of place Saint-Sulpice. A short walk from the Notre Dame, Saint-Sulpice is just as impressive as its big brother, but you will never have to wait in line to get in. The front of the church stands in front of a fountain in a lovely location (and quiet) Place. Inside the church you will find statues to find vaulted ceilings and religious symbolism galore. Bonus: If you've ever read The DaVinci Code , you know that this church figures heavily in Dan Brown's story. Look at the brass line on the ground, the obelisk and the "P" and "S" symbols in the stained-glass windows, all of which are mentioned in the book. Disclaimer: The facade of the church is being renovated this summer. The north tower is blocked from view, but the South Tower, most of the outside, and the entire interior remain visible and accessible.
The Musée Rodin Garden
Can not find a quiet place in the Jardin des Tuileries? Then head over to the Rodin Museum garden, where you will find countless species of plants and flowers, precious sculptures by Rodin, and a little less hectic. Stop and Smell the Roses Rodin, then stroll under The Thinker The Gates of Hell and The Burghers of Calais . Unlike most Parisian gardens, this one has an entrance fee. But considering you get to see amazing works of art, while relaxing in the green, I believe the small price of one euro is definitely worth it.
The Medici Fountain
The hotel is located in the famous (and often crowded) Jardin du Luxembourg is the Medici fountain a welcome relief from the heat and the noise of the city. On behalf of Marie de Médicis, this masterpiece was their first attempt to recreate the Italian gardens of her childhood. Unlike the rest of the Jardin du Luxembourg, surrounding the area of the fountain, is rarely visited. Even on a busy afternoon sun, you should have no problem finding a close look at the most important sculpture fountain get (the amazingly detailed Polyphemus Surprising Acis and Galatea ) or a seat on the banks of the pool to find wells.
