Things to do in Paris in September

Notre Dame Cathedral

Notre Dame Cathedral is one of the most famous attractions in France. This historic Catholic cathedral is located in the 4th arrondissement in Paris and is best known for its French Gothic architecture, specifically the naturalism of its sculptures and the stained glass windows. The best time to visit the landmark is on a sunny day when you can see the sun shining through the impressive stained glass windows.

The best way to make the most of your visit is by signing up for one of the many guided tours or by purchasing one of the low-cost guide books at the entrance and touring around the cathedral yourself.

St. Etienne du Mont

Another religious attraction worthy of a visit is St. Etienne du Mont. This 16th century cathedral is often quieter and less-visited than many others in Paris, which gives it a more tranquil and holy atmosphere.

Located in the 5th arrondissement, just a short walk away from the Pantheon, St Etienne du Mont boasts amazing architecture both on the outside and inside, with intricate stonework, arches, staircases, artwork and stained glass windows which are found at the far end.

Some of the highlights of the cathedral include a shrine dedicated to St Geneviève, the patron saint of Paris, the tombs of Blaise Pascal and Jean Racine and the body of Jean-Paul Marat who is buried in the cathedral's cemetery.

Rue Montorgueil

When it comes to souvenir shopping and gift buying, you can't beat Rue Montorgueil. This pedestrian district is best known for its cafes, pastry shops, bakeries and wine bars. Rue Montorgueil is also known for its foodie shop section, packed with chocolate shops, kitchenware stores and sweet boutiques where you can get your hands on almost anything kitchen-related you can imagine. 

If you're looking to bag a bargain, you'll also find restaurant supply shops where you can get your hands on all sorts of foodie treats for the lowest prices available here.

Musée Jacquemart-Andre

If the September weather takes a turn for the worst, seek shelter inside the Musée Jacquemart-Andre. This attraction is set inside a mansion which was built in the 19th century and is packed with apartments and rooms where you can admire the period furniture, explore a garden overflowing with sculptures, wander around a museum full of Italian art, find some presents at the gift shop and relax in the café.

If you really want to learn all there is to know about the items on display, it's worth downloading the museum apps before you go and picking up a free audio guide when you arrive. For children aged between seven and 12, there is also a kids' activity booklet available, full of games, puzzles and pictures, to help them learn about and understand the artwork, too.

Montparnasse 56

When it comes to unbeatable views, Montparnasse 56 is the very best place in Paris. This tower stretches on for 689 feet in the air and is the city's only skyscraper. Peppered amongst its 59 floors you'll find an interactive panorama, gift shop, numerous restaurants, terrace and the panoramic floor.

The most popular section is the panoramic floor which is located on the 56th floor. On this floor you can also learn about what you're looking at with the help of interactive panels, admire the permanent exhibition about the history of the building and take the various quizzes about what you can see from the lookout points.

If you're feeling brave, you can climb the stairs from the panoramic floor to the open roof-top terrace where you can enjoy unparalleled vistas which stretch on for miles across the city.

Whilst the view is wonderful during the day, the best time to visit is without a doubt after sunset, when the city bursts into life with twinkling lights and you can watch the Eiffel Tower light show.
