\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The 4.5-kilometres long canal located in east Paris was built by orders of Napoleon back in the early 19th century. Why? To supply the city&nbsp;with fresh water amidst growing concerns for public health, notably cholera and dysentery. Funnily enough, <meta charset=\"utf-8\">a new tax on wine <meta charset=\"utf-8\">almost entirely financed the construction \u2014 only in France, right?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, it&#8217;s a lovely area <meta charset=\"utf-8\">and a popular place to watch barges navigate the locks. Its banks are lined with trendy caf\u00e9s with sprawling terraces, bakeries and wine bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional and underrated free things to do in Paris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mus\u00e9e du parfum de Paris<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the few entirely free museums in Paris! The <a href=\"https:\/\/musee-parfum-paris.fragonard.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">perfume museum<\/a> is dedicated to one of the oldest and most esteemed French perfumeries and is located in a lavish Napoleon III townhouse. It features a highly ornate decor that will leave very few indifferent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mus\u00e9e Carnavalet<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnavalet.paris.fr\/musee-carnavalet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Carnavalet Museum<\/a> is nestled in the heart of Le Marais. Opened since 1880, it depicts the history of Paris spanning from its very beginnings to our day. Housed in a lovely 11th-century mansion, it welcomes acclaimed temporary exhibitions that really shouldn&#8217;t be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">La D\u00e9fense<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Why not spice up your Parisian getaway with skyscrapers, ultra-modern architecture and a fast-paced central square? Indeed, just a few minutes outside the city lies the most important business centre of Europe, La D\u00e9fense. Expect gorgeous, colourful fountains and surprising buildings that you typically wouldn&#8217;t expect to find Europe, much less Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">P\u00e8re Lachaise Cemetery<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>At 110 acres, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.parisinfo.com\/paris-museum-monument\/71470\/Cimetiere-du-Pere-Lachaise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">P\u00e8re Lachaise<\/a> is the largest cemetery in all of Paris.

In addition, it was Paris&#8217; first garden cemetery! It makes for a wonderful stroll through cobblestone alleys flanked by mature, leafy trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parc de la Villette open air cinema<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The open air cinema in the verdant Parc de la Villette is a great option for those warm, romantic Parisian summer nights. But only if you can understand French explicitly or don&#8217;t mind reading subtitles! Entry is free and it&#8217;s possible to rent deck chairs or blankets.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Best-views-of-the-Eiffel-Tower-in-Paris-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Best-views-of-the-Eiffel-Tower-in-Paris\" class=\"wp-image-27004\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Best-views-of-the-Eiffel-Tower-in-Paris-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Best-views-of-the-Eiffel-Tower-in-Paris-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Best-views-of-the-Eiffel-Tower-in-Paris-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Best-views-of-the-Eiffel-Tower-in-Paris-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Best-views-of-the-Eiffel-Tower-in-Paris.jpg 1333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The view from the steps leading to the Mus\u00e9e d&#8217;art moderne de Paris<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The eastern wing of the bold Palais de Tokyo is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mam.paris.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paris&#8217; premier modern art museum<\/a> and commands attention with its concrete walls.
