Same method as our Tokyo guide: every spot here comes from real Paris trips planned in Routely, and we only kept the ones at least three different travelers saved on their own.
The essentials
Eiffel Tower
Saved by 39+ travelersObviously. Thirty-nine separate travelers saved it on their own trips, which, sure, it's the Eiffel Tower, but the data doesn't lie: most-saved single spot in the city.
Louvre Museum
Saved by 37+ travelersTied for second most-saved spot in Paris. If the queue photos scare you, book timed entry ahead of time, that part isn't optional advice, it's basically a rule at this point.
Sacre-Coeur Basilica
Saved by 37+ travelersThe other most-saved spot in the city, sitting at the top of Montmartre. Almost always paired with Place du Tertre right next to it, the little square where painters have set up easels for over a century.
Notre-Dame de Paris
Saved by 33+ travelersStill one of the most-saved spots in the city after the restoration. People are clearly ready to see it again, and it shows in the numbers.
Where to eat and wander
Marché couvert des Enfants Rouges
Saved by 17+ travelersParis's oldest covered market, and the most-saved food spot in the city by a wide margin. Small stalls, mixed cuisines, the kind of place a local actually eats lunch rather than just photographs.
Place du Tertre
Saved by 33+ travelersThe square just behind Sacre-Coeur where street painters set up shop. It's touristy in the way that's actually earned, not the manufactured kind, and the data backs that up: almost as saved as the basilica itself.
Le Marais
Saved by 16+ travelersNo single landmark, just a neighborhood people keep saving as a whole. Falafel, vintage shops, a genuinely walkable few hours with nowhere in particular you have to be.
Luxembourg Gardens
Saved by 25+ travelersThe park Parisians actually use, not just photograph. Bring something to read, steal a green chair, and do nothing for an hour. Twenty-five travelers apparently agreed that's worth planning a stop around.
