Paris is culture capital of the world. A combination of art, history, music and cuisine make the capital city of France one of the most visited places. With famous landmark, the Eiffel Tower, recognised globally, it is no wonder people flock from all corners of the Earth to experience the atmosphere of the city for themselves. While visits to tourist attractions such as the Eiffel Tower are expected when visiting the famous city, there are a few places and activities that go under the radar but are still among the best things to do in Paris.

See a cabaret show
Paris is famous for its elaborate cabaret shows and venues, particularly the Moulin Rouge. Glitter and tacky charm are both a part of these entertaining performances that consist of male dancers, circus performers and feathery costumes. Dinner is often included in the package and most shows are on daily. One of the must-do things to do in Paris as it will truly complete a French vacation.

See a jazz show
Paris has a massive jazz scene, with dedicated artists from all around the globe travelling to perform in live gigs in the city. There are a range of venues that host jazz gigs, ranging from small, traditional clubs to the popular New Morning which holds shows for a variety of different music styles.

Go shopping at the Marais
Even the most opposed to shopping should visit the Marais purely for experience. While the main focus is on the young designers who have set up around the ‘golden triangle’, there are sideshows and performers placed around the centre for those who are not interested in the fashion. Definitely a place to visit, and for the shopaholics, this could be one of your favourite things to do in Paris.
