Paris has always been a city of endless inspiration for anyone passionate about art, design, and architecture. Over the years, I’ve wandered through its streets countless times, discovering extraordinary places hidden away from the usual tourist paths.

This guide is my personal collection of those discoveries: a carefully curated selection of museums, architectural gems, design galleries, bookstores, libraries, and exceptional destinations just outside the city. It’s designed for those who want to experience Paris with more depth, sophistication, and a true insider’s eye.

architectural buildings worth visiting and studying in detail

Unlike most travel guides, this one is created specifically for art, design, and architecture enthusiasts. It reflects years of professional experience and an insider’s understanding of Paris’s creative scene.

Many of the places listed are hidden gems that even locals and long-term residents don’t always know about.

It’s thoughtful, highly curated, and designed to help you experience the city in a way that feels enriching.
