Y’all 🫶🏻✨🔥!!

Tomorrow I’m off to Paris for a week! (And then road trip to Monet’s garden in Giverny and the northern coast iihhh!)

So do my fellow Les Mis nerds on here have any recommendations for where to go in Paris?!?

Here are some recommendations for your week in Paris, especially for fellow Les Misérables fans: 1. **Visit the Latin Quarter**: Wander through the streets where Victor Hugo set much of the action of Les Misérables. You can explore the area around the Panthéon and Rue Mouffetard, imagining yourself in the world of Jean Valjean. viator.com/?pid=P0…
  3. fruity-pontmercy said: if it isnt blocked by cops or being used as a place of protest, the Place de la Sorbonne is lovely, gives a beautiful view on the chapel in the Sorbonne :)
  4. fruity-pontmercy said: ironically I don’t recomment Victor Hugo’s house, i mean, only if you’re already close by… it’s pretty! But I don’t think it’s particularly engaging as a museum, it could definitely have done more, it’s basically a collection of art by/about Victor Hugo and his works, but doesn’t really take time to explain things… on the other hand, i’d highly recommend the Luxembourg gardens and the Pantheon! That’s my favourite area of paris :), and

  7. vapaus-ystavyys-tasaarvo said: Back on the right bank: rue de la Verrerie in Le Marais is one of my favourites because it’s very cute and it’s where Courfeyrac used to live (and Marius of course) and you could visit the Saint-Merri church where some of the real 1832 revolutionaries barricaded themselves. Le Marais in general is great for exploring. Arts et Métiers = great museum In Les Halles I recommend rue des Prouvaires (of course lol) and its neighbourhood
  8. vapaus-ystavyys-tasaarvo said: Rue Mouffetard and rue Tournefort both pretty great for getting the vibes of Valjean and Cosette’s escape from Javert (both near Panthéon) Rue de la Harpe and that surrounding area for old Latin Quarter vibes (mentioning Rue de la Harpe specifically bc it used to go all the way to where the Café Musain would have been but sadly not anymore, most of it has been absorbed by the boulevard)
  9. vapaus-ystavyys-tasaarvo said: The neighbourhood directly north of Luxembourg is where Marius grew up (rue Servandoni), and where he met Mabeuf in the church of Saint-Sulpice (Mabeuf also lived nearby back when he could still afford it…) The faculty of medicine is also in that general direction but a bit to the east, and it has a medical museum if that’s something that interests you. This area is also worth just wandering around
  10. vapaus-ystavyys-tasaarvo said: Also yes Luxembourg is worth the visit, absolutely. And if you wanna go say hi to Hugo himself, he’s in the Panthéon xD
  11. vapaus-ystavyys-tasaarvo said: Seconding Carnavalet, also worth walking around that general neighbourhood because it has a lot of old streets that have been mostly preserved in their old form + Hugo’s house museum is close (Place des Vosges = also very well preserved) and the church where Marius and Cosette got married and Carnavalet is also right next to where La Force (the prison) used to be (it no longer exists but oh well…)
  12. sainteverge said: i genuinely believe the best way to visit paris is to loiter and wander around, taking small streets and getting lost on purpose. But if you want to have a good feeling of a pre-haussmannised paris I would say visit the Latin quarter (which is: great and the historical student quarter), St-Merri, St-Gervais, Odéon, the marais, the old centre (4th and 5th arrondissements are my fav!). If you have the chance to visit Hugo’s house Place des Vosges it’s worth it as well :)
  13. cliozaur said: Yes, Musée Carnavalet! It’s free (unlike most of other museums) and it’s amazing! Maybe also Maison de Victor Hugo.
  14. transrevolutions said: GO TO LA CARNAVALET
  15. coeurtenebre said: There’s rue de mondetour in les halles. Was the historical street of the barricades. Jardin du Luxembourg, is where Marius would take his walks I think. Uhm - the painting La Liberté guide les Peuples is in the Louvre.
