Art, History & Monumental Paris: Chic Cultural Stroll 🇫🇷✨
Explore the heart of Paris with this curated route linking stately squares, jaw-dropping architecture, and must-see museums—perfect for teens, especially knowing many museums in Paris are free for younger visitors!

Recommended Itinerary:
1️⃣ Start at Palais-Royal (75001 Paris): Arrive early to soak in its elegant gardens and the playful black-and-white Colonnes de Buren—your first insta-worthy shot, especially with soft morning light.
2️⃣ Wander to Place de la Concorde (75008 Paris): Stroll through history and snap panoramic photos of fountains, the striking Obélisque de Louxor, and grand vistas with the Eiffel Tower peeking in the distance.
3️⃣ Pause at the Obélisque de Louxor (73 Pl. de la Concorde): Get a dramatic low-angle shot. At night, the illuminated monument is stunning for evening selfies!
4️⃣ Visit Hôtel de la Marine (2 Pl. de la Concorde): Dive into royal salons and heritage halls, open 10:30–19:00 (Fridays until 21:30). The crystal chandeliers and gold leaf décor are iconic for close-ups.

Must-do: Step into the Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection (2 Rue de Viarmes, 75001 Paris) for contemporary art in a dazzling rotunda (open Wed–Mon, most days 11:00–19:00, closed Tuesdays). Teens: check if admission applies—under-18s often enter free!

Insider Tips: Visit museums early for fewer crowds. Always check for free entry with teen ID/passport. For Palais-Royal, sunset brings magical light.
Precautions: Double-check seasonal hours—main sites sometimes close for holidays. Book tickets for main museums online if possible to skip lines.
