Friends! Suppose you were going to be in Paris for 8 days this June, with a spouse and a 14yo. What are some lesser known or not obvious things you would plan to do? Any recommendations? I mean besides the standard stuff like the Louvre, Catacombs, etc.

@mcnees Sacre Coeur. Lovely place.

I was there as a 14 year old with my parents, admittedly in 1985 so a lot has probably changed now.

I remember we went to an area that had loads of artists and stuff and that was extremely cool.

It's still there apparently. Also this website might help you.

Also the Pompidou Centre was cool, but I imagine that's probably pretty touristy.

Also, my dad got his pockets picked at the Louvre. So watch your valuables. 😂
