The Grévin Museum is a wax museum located in Boulevard Montmartre, one of the Grands Boulevards in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. With about 200 celebrity figures on display, the Grévin Museum is the ideal attraction to visit with friends or family in the French capital. And if you’re looking for more activities in this area of the city, you can complement your day with a visit to the Ópera Garnier, the Galeries Lafayette, the Musée de la Vie Romantique, or the Musée National Gustave Moreau!

The Centre Pompidou opened in 1977 but was conceived in the late 1960s by President Georges Pompidou, who had the goal of creating an arts center in the heart of Paris. And today, the Centre Pompidou is home to the largest collection of modern and contemporary art in Europe! In addition to the several dozen exhibitions, the Centre Pompidou offers a wide cultural program, with music, theater, and dance shows, cinema cycles, conferences, and even activities for the youngest!

The Orangerie Museum started out as a greenhouse for orange trees but now houses an extraordinary collection of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings, including some of Claude Monet‘s masterpieces. Although it’s smaller than other museums in the French capital and less crowded than its neighbors, the Louvre Museum or the Orsay Museum, its location in the Tuileries Garden is ideal. Not to mention that enjoying the “Water Lillies” without a noisy crowd is a plus!
