"The Problem" with visiting a city like Paris is you only have a limited amount of time. Three days. Two weeks. One month...if you're exceptionally lucky!
We've been around this jewel of a ville for nearly four years now, and we're not even close to finished with just the things we'd like to do!
Enter another off-the-radar fantastic museum: Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimonie inside the Palais de Chaillot.
How this museum stays totally ignored is beyond me - oh wait, it's on the crest of the best view of the Eiffel Tower at the Trocadéro. So everyone's seen it, but they'd rather obsess over the giant latticed tower of wonder.
I was found guilty, too.
It took me - give or take - a hundred trips to the Tour Eiffel to finally give a deserving glance to my left. I found the models of places I have sought out: the châteaux, the cathedrals, the monuments. And I had them all to myself (for just 8 euros, regular adult rate).
I hope you can experience the magnificence of the architecture museum yourself someday! Until then, enjoy the photos!
