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.

What travellers are saying
- Cassandra CCalifornia City, CA44 contributionsMy visit to the Louvre was awe-inspiring, leaving me with a deep appreciation for art and history. It’s easy to spend an entire day there and still feel like there’s more to explore. Whether you’re in Paris for a few days or longer, the Louvre is a must-visit that will leave you with lasting memories. Book your tickets online in advance to avoid long lines, and wear comfortable shoes!Written 6 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michelle S26 contributionsThis was really cool. I had no idea that Monet had so many panels. They are so large and it's hard to comprehend how big they are until you get in the same room with them. I thought this was really cool but the benches were crowded constantly so there was really no place to sit and just really look because otherwise you felt like you had to move through fast because you were sitting in the way of the people who were sitting and looking. Otherwise, I thought it was great. I did think that the water lilies were going to be here so that was a bit disappointing but that was on me. Just being that close to a Monet was really cool.
For the love of God though, if you're going in the month of August or September, don't follow Google maps because we walked over 3 miles when it should've been a half a mile because of the construction.Written 29 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Nice to see from a distance but the gardens themselves are a bit busy right now.Written 5 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA17,482 contributionsLouis XIV played here as a child, and Colette lived in one of the apartments that look on to the gardens. They are lovely and beautifully maintained with several fountains and colonnaded buildings lining all sides. It has long been a playground, and is now very elegant.Written 16 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- I visited this place🇫🇷🇺🇸🇬🇷🇨🇭🇬🇧Israel34,998 contributionsPROS
* This is the first section- very nice and scenic
* Touristy stuff: Louvre Museum, Tuileries Garden, Sainte-Chapelle and parts of the Seine River
CONS
One doesn't know that one is in number one when one is in number one
"I VISITED THIS PLACE"...
... because it has the stuff listed above, which I have already reviewed her separately and previously
WAS IT WORTH THE COST?
Being in the first arrondissement is free
WOULD "I VISIT THIS PLACE" AGAIN/
Sure
ADVICE
You will probably be here and not even know itWritten 4 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's a must-visit on your way from Place de la Concorde to Grands Boulevards. That being said, the square itself isn't much more than its obelisk at the center. However, there are plenty of fancy high-end stores all around.Written 20 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I was curious about the black and white columns and I discovered all the rest of the garden. Very relaxing place in the center of the cityWritten 6 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- I visited this place🇫🇷🇺🇸🇬🇷🇨🇭🇬🇧Israel34,998 contributionsPROS
* This is extremely well- located in the very center of Paris
* It marks the very historical exact location of the guillotine of the French Revolution of 1789
* Large and impressive archeological artifact from ancient Egypt, festooned with hieroglyphics
CONS
* In the middle of a horrendous and constantly busy hectic traffic circle area
* Difficult to access and be close next to it
* The area seems to always be under some kind of construction
"I VISITED THIS PALCE"
... because it is so central and historic and iconic. On this visit, I didn't try to get onto the island where the obelisk stands.
WAS IT WORTH THE COST?
It is a free public area
WOULD 'I VISIT THIS PLACE" AGAIN?
Sure- after all, it's very central
ADVICE
* Go and admire the obelisk
* Try to get close, but be careful from heavy and hectic trafficWritten 16 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

For my wife and I it was €14 each. Some interesting exhibits inside, but did it reasonably quickly. Worth a look, but wouldn’t bother going a second time.Written 1 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- J JNew York City, NY15 contributionsHere is the information that CANNOT BE FOUND ANYWHERE ONLINE:
The ferris wheel is ONLY up around Christmas (November-December) and during the summer. It is completely taken down and removed when not in use. So if you are in Paris in May, trying to figure out how to ride the ferris wheel, the answer is: YOU CAN'T, parce que il n'existe pas!
I rode the ferris wheel with my Mom at some point - it must have been summer time - and it was a lot of fun.
I knocked a star off because the city of Paris doesn't list operable dates on any tourism sites related to the ferris wheel! We had to ask a waiter in the Tuileries.Written 27 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

* This an amazing miniature version of the more famous Arc de Triomphe that sits at the center of the Etoile circle.
* This one has tremendous sculptures of horse and warriors on its top.
* Great and famous location
* Historical monument
CONS
* Completely covered and near totally obscured due to renovation
"I VISITED THIS PLACE"...
... after walking from Musee d'Orsay across Pont Royal and towards the Louvre and then continuing into Le Marais. That was at night. Later in the week, I passed it when I walked from the louvre through the Tuilleries Garden and on to visit Musee de l'Orangerie.
WAS IT WORTH THE COST
It is free
WOULD "I VISIT THIS PLACE" AGAIN?
Sure, and hopefully without the scaffolding of restoration work
ADVICE
* If and when you are in the area, be sure to see this placeWritten 3 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Also visited rooms that were gilded to perfection. Sad that the audio kept telling us that the room contents were in other museums. Fine view over the city. Great to find a.

- bcheongShanghai, China47,568 contributionsA nice shopping and cafe street in the 1st arrondissement. Many luxury brands are here. Just next to the Lourve and Opera house, so you can mix shopping pleasure with cultureWritten 1 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marie Helene AMontreal, Canada134 contributionsThis is the gem of France's theatres and a must go-to if you visit Paris. it is a classic. I went to see Tartuffe last week and did not regret it. Try to book in d=advance if you go as a family or group but, if you are alone you can find cheaper last-minute tickets on the day of the play.Written 19 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA17,482 contributionsThis has always been the business side of the Seine, not the university, not religious. The food markets were established here and then lots of merchants of various sorts. Now you find banks and offices. But also the Louvre, the Opera House lots of hotels and amazing neighborhoods like the Marais. Endless culture. Endless excitement. Endless fashion.Written 3 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
