Paris is undeniably one of my favorite walking cities in the world.
A walking tour Ā of the streets is a wonderful and free way to really get to know a city.
There is an intimate sense of history, culture, and grandeur in even the most unexpected places. Ā Look up and you may see not just the Eiffel Tower looming large, but also the famed glass pyramids of the Louvre. Ā Even if you’re not in an older, centrally located neighborhood, you will still find beautifully carved shuttered windows, intricate street signs, and well worn cobblestones. Ā I hope to explore a few more neighborhoods and take pictures on the Champs Ćā°lysĆ©esĀ in September so I will share more favorite pictures from the streets then!
If you follow me on Instagram (I’m here, let me see your pictures too!), you saw me post a few favorite pictures already.
The Eiffel Tower of course needs no introduction. Ā This is the view from the top of the Pompidou museum.
But of course, the Louvre and its courtyard are also quintessentially Paris.
I love the Seine. Ā This bridge, the Pont des Arts, is where I got engaged! Ā I guess other couples love this bridge too!
But back at the Pompidou, the museum and the immediate area around it reflect the funky vibe.
All around, you will see beautiful architecture and unexpected art.
If it is the weekend, you may be lucky and run into a market too!
What kind of street views do you like to see on your travels?
Thanks for sharing these photos, I’ve been dreaming of Paris for such a long time, you’re so lucky you got to visit it!

Great pictures! You captured everything so beautifully. What I love is that you also showcased areas I had never seen before. I love to see the not so touristy areas. It gives you a different perspective.
Thanks Kim! I love all areas, not just the touristy sections! Luckily it is easy to walk around Paris and explore!
