The influences of Gustave Eiffel for this project are clear. This reminds the Art Nouveau style. The Rue Montorgueil is very popular among the locals. If you love food and want to try the best traditional French specialties, the rue Montorgueil is the place you need to go to. When a Parisian looks for a tasty cheese or an excellent wine, he goes to Rue Montorgueil. And I believe that if the locals buy their products in a certain place, I think you should trust them and do the same!
Plus, it is only a few minutes away from the Louvre Museum! However, it is indeed impossible for every English speaker to pronounce the name of this street, so please, do write it down. It is one of the biggest churches of Paris! Its style is late Gothic architecture, just like Notre Dame , but also has some Renaissance details. You will find this church right at the end of Rue Montorgueil. I love this church, it gives a special touch to the neighborhood of Chatelet-Les Halles.
And I also love the fact that whenever I enter the church, I feel so at peace. You will also notice all the Renaissance details that makes it even more unique and one of my favorite Paris churches! On Sundays, from 7 am to 3 pm, a market takes place at Rue Montmartre.
Then, also on Thurdays, from noon to 8. The merchants sell all kinds of stuff; from fresh food to furniture and clothing! The Forum des Halles used to be a fresh food market until it turned into a shopping mall!
All the Parisians know this mall and shop there. Plus, some of the most used metro lines go through the Halles metro station, so you will eventually go to the Forum des Halles for some reason. But you will also get to know other stores like Maisons du Monde , which is a furnite and home decoration store! Everything they sell is so original and cute! You might find a funny alternative for a Paris souvenir!

Needless to say pickpockets are all over this area of the city so move cautiously yet confidently.
Les Halles might have come a long way since its seedy beginning but still not far enough so we advise to avoid this area at night. The neighborhood is home to a rich history encompassing royalty and giant rats, haute-couture and fresh -and not so fresh- fruit and veggies.
Most tourists that come to this area head straight for the Louvre, so the other attractions such as the Palais-Royal or the Eglise St-Eustache are ideal if you are interested in learning about the history of paris without fighting through the crowds.
Jardin des Tuileries The Tuileries has always been a place to see and be seen in Paris, ever since the 17th century. It is about as French as a French formal garden can get with manicured rows of trees and hedges, punctuating verdant lawns and gravels paths. These days it is as popular with locals as it is with tourists and is always bustling with life, regardless of the weather.
If you want to know more, check out the Jardin des Tuileries in the park section of our guide. The Louvre This king of all museums doesn't really need much introduction. If you are going to see just one museum during your trip to Paris, in all likelihood it will be the Louvre.
It has earned the title of the world's largest art museum with representative examples from almost every civilization on Earth so as well as the 'big three' Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and Winged Victory there is more than enough to keep you busy. For more information about practicalities and the history of the Louvre check out the attraction page. Palais-Royal Just a block north of the Louvre, the Palais-Royal is an attraction often neglected by tourists.
The building boasts a rich history as it was originally constructed to be Cardinal Richelieu's residence between and but he died the year it was finished so the palace passed into royal hands.
Today, the stately buildings are home to the Conseil d'Etat and ministry of culture while the rather elegant and unexpected black and white things in the courtyard are a modern installation by Daniel Buren.
