- I never miss going to the Musee Les Arts Decoratifs. Their exhibition, often marrying fashion and design, never fails to impress.
- The Yves Saint Laurent museum on Avenue Marceau in the 16th has fantastic views of the Eiffel Tower from Pont de L’Alma, where there is also a replica of the Statue of Liberty’s torch.
- Bourse du Commerce, housing the Pinault Collection, is extraordinary. Sit in the round admiring Monet’s Water Lilies at the Musee Orangerie.
- Walk up the trillion steps to the Sacre Coeur in Montmartre for incredible views.
- Walk through the Bois de Bologne in the 16th to get to the Fondation Louis Vuitton.
