AD Spotlights the Best Paris Has to Offer
For centuries, Paris has captured the hearts and minds of those who have wandered its cobblestone streets. The City of Light is known for many of its offerings—food, culture, fashion, and architecture come to mind—but there is perhaps no other city in the world filled with such an abundance of magnificent beauty and style. Paris is endlessly fascinating, with so much to discover, from museums and shops to weekend getaways and new skills to learn, and while most of the city's striking spots can be stumbled upon on a walk about town, some of the most beautiful spaces remain behind closed doors. But fear not—AD invites you inside to glimpse the beauty to be found behind private entrances. Whether you're planning a trip or simply searching for inspiration, discover some of Paris's most exquisite addresses.
