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
- Kate R3 contributionsThe Eiffel Tower is absolutely iconic! Seeing it up close is even more stunning than in pictures. The view from the top is breathtaking, with all of Paris spread out below. It’s magical during the day and even more incredible when it lights up at night. Totally worth it!Written 12 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mairwen1United Kingdom11,690 contributionsWandering through the Luxembourg Gardens is one of the best free things to do in Paris. It covers a huge area of 24 hectares, and has formal landscaped gardens, open grassy lawns, and shaded wooded areas.
The highlights here are Marie Medici’s Italian-Renaissance palace, the Medici Fountain, and over 100 monuments and statues scattered throughout the grounds.
We spent some time lingering around the palace and the pretty lake just enjoying the surrounds and the sun.
I especially enjoyed walking along the terraces lined with a series of marble statues known as ‘the 20 Queens of France’.
If you have specific sights that you want to see, then it’s useful to have a map of the gardens because they are so big, you can easily miss things. However if you have the time, then the best approach is to wander freely and simply see what you see. We ambled through the gardens without any particular goals and whilst we certainly didn’t cover everything, it’s all so lovely that we didn’t mind at all.Written 10 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alan D31 contributionsThis is a must visit place when you go to Paris. This cathedral is so beautiful. From the stained glass to the statues and ceiling murals, you will be awestruck. The view from the outside is spectacular as well.Written 10 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan MaarekTel Aviv, Israel16,512 contributionsLe Marais has become a trendy district of the Marais. Definitely Iconic like the Latin Quarter and La Rive Gauche, as its graffitis sometimes prove it.
It is located in the 4th arrondissement. It is full of museums, trendy boutiques, galleries and bars, some of which are gay.
It also used to contain the Jewish quarter of the city. This district is still home to many kosher restaurants.
Another iconic site is the Place des Vosges, verdant, which houses elegant arcades and the Victor Hugo museum, where the writer lived.
The streets around the Saint-Paul metro station lead to the Maison Européenne de la Photographie but you have not less intersting museums such as Les Archives Nationales and Le Musee Carnavalet, ideal for rainy days.
But actually if we forget the trendy aspect of the Marais, I love it for its narrow streets and its Louis XIII architecture which takes me back to the history of Paris.Written 29 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We couldn't stop taking photos - the Seine views are incredible, and the Eiffel Tower backdrop is perfect for couples' shots. Got some amazing evening pictures when all the lights came on.

- kazgoddersWoking, UK444 contributionsGreat place to hit the shops, grab something to eat or take some pictures of the Arc de Triomphe. Street artists abound and there are some great singers and musicians to listen to. Plenty of shops from designer down to regular high street brands. Lots of restaurants available and easy to reach via metro or taxi. Worth a wander up and down.Written 7 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Vassilis DalakasEscondido, CA13 contributionsI am a bit conflicted about writing this review. On the one hand, this is one of my favorite spots in Paris and I love going there every time I visit the city, especially in the spring. On the other hand, I like it that this is a less touristy area than other parts of Paris and I am nervous that another positive review will make this place more popular and touristy. :)
It's a popular place for many locals that go there and relax, including a lot of youth that hang out there when it's nice, giving you a fun Parisian vibe with the crowd. I've been there when it's fairly quiet too and it was just as awesome, a quiet place to relax while having a croissant.
The surroundings of the same looking old buildings give it a special unique look. Victor Hugo's apartment is in one of them and it's also worthwhile going to, especially if you are a fan of his work (and it is free). I remember looking out the window from his apartment and looking at the beautiful view of the park with the trees in full bloom and thinking "if that's the view he had every day, I can see why he was inspired and was such a great writer!" :)Written 25 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I would recommend this area and also several tourist spots were there in October and it was really only super busy during the lunch hour after that it opened up.Written 16 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

"I VISITED THIS PLACE"...
... because it's a great place- the center of Paris. I loved walking onto and exploring the island. I walked pat the (closed) Cathedral of Notre Dame several times, visited the Memorial to the Deportation and its adjacent park and went inside Saint- Chapelle and the Conciergerie. I also crossed many of its bridges.
WAS IT WORTH THE COST?
Yes- it is free
WOULD "I VISIT THIS PLACE" AGAIN?
For sure

This place was exactly what we were looking for. Our fabulous guide Liber showed and explained the games and rides throughout the viewing area. Both children and adults had a lot of fun. At the end we got to ride and pedal on the bicycle merry-go- round that is over a hundred years old. We had a wonderful time indeed!Written 14 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ronald G6 contributionsI liked all three markets that I visited in Paris and Bastille Market was the best. It’s a big market with a large variety of goods. I concentrated on food. Bastille has fruits, vegetables, breads, meats and cheeses for meals at the rental apartment. It also has “sit on the park bench” foods to enjoy like pastries and crêpes. After exchanging greetings of “bonjour” with them, vendors were friendly and helpful; using whatever English they knew and patient with my fractured French.Written 25 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
