All you want to know about science. Most interesting activities : planetarium (I think, the first in the world, but fortunately the machine has been renewed), experiments by scientists, if you understand French. In this matter, I recommend : the genetic (they have a machine which shows the mix of genes), the electrostatic (your hair stands on by a high intensity electricity), the rats school (is the rat able to go over the labyrinth ?), the liquid air (be aware to not catch a cold). For further information, see www.palais-decouverte.fr - Entrance : 5.60 Euros with the planetarium, - 18/+60 : 3.70 E, family (4 persons including children +5) : 12.20 E (+A child = +2.30 E). Every day excepted Monday : 9.30AM - 6PM (Sunday : 10AM-7PM)

See the boulevards Montmartre and Poissonnière Walk from the corner Rue de Richelieu-Bd Montmartre to Strasbourg St Denis. A sidewalk in a direction, and the other sidewalk in the opposite direction. Look at the shops, the restaurants, the coffee shops, the theaters, the cinemas (especially the REX : one of the best cinemas of Paris), the Musée Grévin (Wax Museum) . Do the same walk Bvd des Italiens between Richelieu-Drouot and Opera.

Open daily (except Tuesday) - 9AM to 5:45PM (9:45PM on Wednesday) Ticket : 7.50 Euros, 5 Euros after 3PM and Sunday, free the 1st Sunday of the month.

Art of the 19? and 20? centuries : painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, furniture. Do not forget to get a free map of the museum at the entrance. The building was initially a railway station and not a museum. So it is easy to be lost. I went a Sunday morning at 9:30AM, no line, no payment. When I left the museum at the end of the morning, there was a line but it was still free because it was the first Sunday of the month of February. Open daily : 10AM to 6PM except Thursday 9:45. Close on Monday. Price : 7? except on Sunday : 5? (first Sunday of the Month = free).

The Wax Museum is reopen since June 2002. The presentation is now better than the prior one and the museum is now at the level of Madame Tussaud's in London. There is a tour within the museum allowing to see the stars of sport, spectacle and cinema and also a lot of histirical characters. 2 criticisms : the pupets are messed up and one goes rapidly from Marylin Monroe to the Napoleon's family. The "Palais des mirages" was out of order when we visited the museum. They would have to repare it during the remodling. Price : 15 Euros. Reduction for senior (+60) and young (till 14). On the picture : good likeness for the pope (Bush's pupet is failed. They must have worked with photographes)

Several companies propose cruises on Seine (1H to 1H30) for a price between 7 and 9 €. The lunch and dinner are more expensive and on my opinion, too expensive (50 to 125€) Generally, the boats go as far as the Quai Henri IV (East) and the Tour Eiffel (West). To find a boat go : - to Square du Vert Galant (Ile de la Cite) - to Quai de Montebello (Left Bank) - to Pont de l'Alma (Left bank) An idea : take the Batobus. With a 1 day ticket (10 €) you can go along the Seine and stop at the 8 stations for visiting (10AM to 7PM).
