Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Hotel de Ville
A beautiful historic building. It's really close to Ile de la Cite, so I recommend you come here early, before the bulk of the tourist start pouring in, to get the best shots.

Grand building
Sadly, this was under renovation when we visited, but the building is beautiful nonetheless. This is one of Paris' hallmarks that must be seen in person

Grand Gate
This building has ornate games and one would think it is the entrance to Sainte-Chappelle but it is not -- the chapel is next door and security guards will politely point you in the right direction. However, when exiting Sainte-Chappelle, this is gate from which you exit which is a bit odd. Next door is Conciergerie.

Research collection before you go
The beautiful historical building houses temporary modern art exhibitions. When you go therefore will determine whether your visit is great, okay or bad. Make sure you research a little on the current collection to make sure it’s your thing. When I went I loved the exhibit they had, took about 2 hours to get through the whole museum. Get your ticket in advance to avoid extra lines.

Walked outside
I didn’t go inside the palace but I walked around the outside. It is a very beautiful building and looks quite old. It is definitely worth walking around and seeing the architecture.

Rich history
This historic building is open to the public on two days a year. It has a rich history and well-restored rooms where milestones in France’s history played out. Napoleon Bonaparte’s brother then his mother stayed in this house. Charles de Gaulle’s office was also here.
It is now the site for France Defence Offices.

Banque de France
The Hotel de Toulouse is the representative seat of the national Bank of France, originally a city palace built by Francois Mansart. The Bank can be visited about roughly on one Saturday each months done by guides from Paris Historique or during the Journees Patrimoine (typically the 3rd weekend in September). The highlight of the tour is the Golden Gallery, but the council chamber can be visited as well. The golden gallery is just breathtaking full with statues, gilded in gold and paintings,

The modalities of group tours or individuals can be found on the webpage of the Banque de France
