"📍Location: 8th arrondissement 🕰 Best Time to Visit: Early morning to enjoy the peaceful courtyard café. 🏛 A stunning, often-overlooked museum with Beaux-Arts architecture and a hidden garden café. ✔️ Explore an impressive collection of fine arts, including Monet, Rembrandt & Rodin—for free! ✔️ Admire the ornate ceilings, golden gates, and mosaic floors. ✔️ Relax in the hidden garden courtyard café, one of Paris' most serene spots. 📌 Nearby: Champs-Élysées, Pont Alexandre III, Grand Palais. 🔍 Why it’s a hidden gem: Despite its grandeur, most visitors pass by on their way to the Grand Palais, making it a quiet escape. One of my favourite oasis in the city centre! 💡 Tip: Visit the café in the back garden, perfect for a peaceful afternoon or a quiet break from sightseeing."
