Discover Hidden Gems in Paris
Planning a trip to Paris? If you're looking to explore beyond the usual landmarks, join Phil, Senior Editor of a renowned Paris travel guide, as he uncovers some of the city's lesser-known treasures. Prepare to be amazed!
Lutece Arena: A Step Back in Time
Before Paris became the capital of France, it was known as Lutetia, named by the Romans after they conquered the region in 52 B.C. In the 2nd century A.D., they built an amphitheater that accommodated 16,000 spectators for gladiator fights and other events.
After the fall of the Roman Empire, the arena fell into disuse and was buried until its rediscovery in 1869. Thanks to efforts led by Victor Hugo, the site was preserved. Today, you can explore its fascinating history.
To visit, take the metro to 'Monge' station and walk to 47 Rue Monge. Enter the hallway, follow the corridor, and step onto the ancient sands where gladiators once battled.
Jardin des Plantes: A Botanical Wonderland
For plant enthusiasts, the Jardin des Plantes is a must-see. Established in 1640 under King Louis XIV, this botanical garden boasts several unique gardens with diverse plant species.
The Alpine Garden is particularly enchanting, featuring plants from around the world, including the United States, China, and the Himalayas. The garden is home to some historic trees, like a pistachio tree from the 18th century and an acacia planted in 1636.
To experience this green oasis, take the metro to 'Gare d’Austerlitz' and head to the Place Valhubert entrance. Open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., it's a peaceful escape from the city's bustle.
Closing Thoughts
In the words of Ernest Hemingway, "If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast." Stay tuned for Part II, where we'll continue our journey through Paris's hidden gems.
