Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    I loved everything about the Shakespeare bookstore. An amazing collection of books with a great atmosphere. It’s a must visit if you are interested in reading.

    Though its origins are from medieval times, the current church dates to the 17th century. It's beautiful inside, with the soaring arches and crisp white stones you expect from Parisian churches.

    Located right behind the Pantheon, this church houses the shrine of Saint Genevieve, patroness of Paris, who according to legend saved the city from the ravages of Attila the Hun.

    We recently attended two concerts here. We arrived about 20 minutes ahead, purchased tickets at the door (23 euros each) and enjoyed about 80 minutes of excellent performance each time. A very nice Paris treat!

    There is a fantastic exhibit on the Notre Dame cathedral at this location that is brand new and extremely interesting. It is a virtual reality tour that traces the history of Notre Dame from its original construction all the way to present-day repairs. Each visitor gets an iPad portal and can see 360-degree views from various eras. Free tickets may need to be obtained in advance, because I'm sure this will be very busy.

    We did not really get to appreciate many other features of the College, but I'm sure there's other things to see there.

    Such a nice little park to just sit and relax. It is near Shakespeare and Co Bookstore and there is shaded and sunny sports to sit. Location of the oldest tree in Paris and has a statute that we were told was constructed to honor the children from WWII.

    This is where you can see remnants of the Roman Empire in Paris. This is the old Roman ampitheater, a place where events were held back then. It was lost for a long time, but unearthed during the construction of Rue Monge. Some of it is original, some re-constructed.

    A great place to find a cafe to spend a little time watching the crowds walk by. This Place is in the middle of the university area so expect a lot of young people and folks who work in education. The Pantheon is here.

    Everytime I was there, I didn't realise that it was a museum in open air. It's more like a park than a museum. There are not many sculptures, but there are various plants. In summer, different types of flowers are blooming there. It's on the west bank of River Seine, so people can have a good view of the river. Also, it's free of charge, so it's well worth a stroll.

    It's a bit hidden but worth the hunt; there is so much to see in Paris; this was one of my favorites

    This zoo is a nice escape from the business of Paris city centre, even though it sits in the middle of it, located in the Jardin Des Plantes - a beautiful park and gardens.

    I was excited to see the old buildings and enclosures, since they're from the 1800s. This is true, there's stone buildings with original names above the doors, and lots of ornate metal enclosures... it's nice to look at! The facilities could do with an update though, the toilets were awful, looked like they'd stepped out of the 1800s too!

    There's birds, monkeys and big cats. A lot of the other animals seem to be deriving from either cows or goats, we found each enclosure with another variation and saying 'oh it's another goat!'. Haha.

    Unfortunately, most of the animals were hiding or inside their little houses so we couldn't see them. This was especially frustrating with the Tasmanian Devil, which I was very excited to see, yet never got to see at all (we even looped back around multiple times to check!). The aviary was beautiful, but we only saw one bird. Although, it's worth mentioning we visited in the height of summer, it was very hot, I don't blame the animals from hiding!

    Some of the enclosures did seem a bit small, especially with the monkeys and big cats. Both of these animals are situated where they have an inside area (you can view from inside the building) and an outside area. However these spaces seemed sad and lacking some greenery, these animals want grass and trees, not just some platforms and soil. The inside area of the monkeys was upsetting, one monkey was making a shelter from some old newspapers, whilst another sat at the window, staring at us with solemn eyes.

    However, the reptile/amphibian house was fantastic, plenty to see and none of them were hiding! They all seemed really happy in their enclosures - adding plants and enrichment goes a long way. I'd hope they give their bigger animals' homes the same amount of attention in the future.

    I enjoyed my visit, I liked escaping the streets for a while. Though the zoo is small, it fills in 1-2 hours at most.

    I was so lucky to have a presentation at the 23rd floor of the tower building. Spectacular view over Paris.

    This is a vestige of one of the medieval wall os the old city. Not munch left of this wall, except for a few places where it has been incorporated into buildings. Here it is out in the open and next to a school yard.
