asd — Visiting Paris for Olympics is great, but if you are already there, make the most of the trip with these additional bonus tourist hotspots!

1/6

Cruise the Seine in Style

What if there was a way for you to see the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Pont Alexandre III and many more famous sites of Paris without dealing with the hefty crowd at these spots? If you, too, want a relaxing sightseeing experience, then book yourself a cruise on the Seine River and enjoy the City of Light, especially at night.

2/6

Enjoy Moulin Rouge in Montmartre

A hill in northern Paris, this beautiful place is best known for the Instagram-famous Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Walk through the lanes of this small town to feel like you have stepped into an indie French movie, where, at every corner, you will find artists with easels painting tourists or displaying their works. Also, this is the home of the iconic cabaret Moulin Rouge, and trust us, you cannot miss that!

3/6

Learn Fashion History at YSL Museum

Yes, everyone who visits Paris instantly rushes off to the Louvre Museum, and you can add that to your to-visit list as well, but if you are a fashion enthusiast (and even if you aren't!), then you cannot enjoy the City of Fashion without a trip to the Musée Yves Saint Laurent. Inaugurated in 2017, the Yves Saint Laurent Museum plays homage to the world of fashion and haute couture with the exclusive accessories, sketches, photographs, and films it has on display.

4/6

Experience the 'Totally Crazy' Crazy Horse

If you want to watch a live show you will remember for the rest of your life, then look no further than The Crazy Horse of Paris - a "sublime show high in glamour and elegance". A live show with 12 mythical dancers, 150,000 visitors per year, 73,000 bottles of Cuvée Crazy champagne, 14 dazzling performances, and 11 decors with plays of shadows and light, this performance represents 60 years of exceptional cabaret. Blackpink's Lisa has performed there, so you know it will definitely be iconic!

5/6

Become a Part of Art at Atelier des Lumières

You might have seen photos and videos of people at this place on social media, so go and experience this one-of-its-kind adventure at the Workshop of Lights Paris. The first digital art centre in Paris, this museum plays more than 3,000 images in motion using 120 video projectors and 50 controlled directivity speakers.

6/6

Shop Your Heart Out at Triangle d'Or

If being in Paris has ignited your inner fashion influencer, then going to The Golden Triangle is an absolute must, even if it is just to window-shop. The luxurious section of the 8th arrondissement in Paris is the city's most prestigious neighbourhood for a reason. Home to big names like Dior, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Chanel, Balenciaga etc., this place is perfect to live out your Emily in Paris dreams!
