It is very classic and Baroque in setting and is it's fun for the intermission as it is for the show!

Pretend you're in dangerous liaisons as you slip in and out of the multi-tiered theater with arched balcony areas

It doesn't get any hipper than this new cultural space located in a renovated theater. From…read moreexhibitions devoted to digital monsters and skateboard culture to concerts by indie bands like Stephen Malkmus and the Jinks, this is just about the coolest venue in town. Everything is super high-tech and modern but the space still retains its old gilded glamor. I recently saw ex-Pavement frontman Malkmus play, and while the concert was far from memorable I absolutely adored the concert hall with its super acoustics, clean, visible stage, great lighting and easy access. The whole experience, from the welcome at the entrance, beautiful bar area and organized coat check that wasn't a chaos scene like most places after the show, made going out to a rock show seems all rather civilized. Just a tad more grit would have made it a bit less bizarre. In five years, it should be just perfect.

The National Archive gardens have got to be one of Paris' best kept secrets…read more I've always found le Marais to be a maze; home to a thousand hidden places and well kept secrets. Today I was able to discover another part of this neighbourhood finally making my way to the National Archive gardens. This spot is so peaceful and so beautiful you'd almost forget that your'e in the heart of one of the coolest and busiest neighbourhoods. We were the only ones in there, even able to leave our stuff unattended for a while something which I wouldnt normally dare do. I couldn't imagine a more perfect place nor a more beautiful backdrop to sit and read for a few hours. Must not miss if in the area!

Actually in the neighborhood where my daughter is living at present, so we really didn't visit the…read moreplace like we would a typical tourist attraction, but more accurately, took a stroll through the grounds and a chilly December Saturday. There were circus tents set up in the compound, and lots of people in cheesy Renaissance costumes, including two horses pulling Santa in a sleigh retrofitted with wheels. Most of what I know about the place is from the previous YELP review. That said, the chapel is, indeed, gorgeous (requires admission charge) and the structure of the entire fortress with mots and drawbridges is impressive. One side backs up to a huge park; the other drops you right in the city of Vincennes. Admitting that we didn't actually buy a ticket to see the exhibits (e.g. inside of the structures) I would say this this all felt a bit less manufactured than Versailles. Worth a visit if you have another compelling reason to be out on the east side of Paris.

You can imagine my excitement to learn that there was a castle just a few metro stops from the hotel. You don't get to say things like that in the US. If you're lucky enough to even be in a city WITH a metro, you'd be more likely to say, 'yeah...there's a McDonalds a few metro stops away.' But here...here there's a castle. This place is pretty awesome -- you can wander around outside to your heart's content for free, and if you want to enter into the Sainte-Chapelle and the keep, it's 9€, money well spent in my opinion. The Sainte-Chapelle is gorgeous - it's not as enormous as Notre Dame, but it does come without the huge crowds, so you get a more intimate experience especially if you're there during the off-season.
