Welcome to Cool Stuff in Paris

, a directory of my favorite cool things to do in Paris: weird museums and unusual sights, amazing restaurants, cool bars and cafés, practical info for visitors, bizarre public art, creepy cemeteries, and much much more.

Covid (and beyond!) update!

I haven't been back to Paris in a couple years, sadly, so certain parts of this website are fast becoming outdated! Covid went and put a real damper on my back-and-forth travel over there. As I write this (April 2024) I'm sure some of the places featured on this site have closed, and/or certain details (e.g. prices, hours of operation) have changed. If you're in Paris, I urge you to look at individual places' websites or social media to see if they're open before going. The Eiffel Tower is still there, I'm told!

Check out my recent articles about the catacombs, le Musée des Arts Forains, the Eiffel Tower, Space Invader pixel art mosaics and other grafitti, the Louvre, etc. I believe Paris truly is the most amazing city in the world; I love the cuisine, the history, the shopping, and the people. There's a rhythm and a richness to life here that's really incredibly agreeable. Nothing makes me happier than sharing what I love about Paris with people who are visiting, so please enjoy this site, and please contact me if you have any questions!
