Paris With A Modern Twist. New Things To See and Do

The city of love may be known for its world-famous architecture and art, but this metropolitan wonder has so much more to offer than just the iconic things like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre that so many have come to love. Paris is a modern city that is always evolving, always changing and is anything but mundane in its desire to be known as a city of progress. Below is a list of the top new attractions to experience on your next adventures to Paris.

1. Fondation Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé

This cinema and museum is nothing short of extraordinary. Where else can you watch silent B&W movies to the sound of a live pianist? The Pathé Foundation (fondation-jeromeseydoux-pathe.com) is tucked away in a former theatre and cinema dating to 1869 in the 13th arrondissement but only the façade, sculpted by Rodin, remains.

2. Fondation Louis Vuitton

This contemporaryart gallery is new to the art scene. Just celebrating its first opening in 2015. The shimmering white building to appear like a magnificent sailing ship moored between trees in the Bois de Boulogne. The view treats visitors with culminating, panoramic views of business district La Défense and its skyscrapers from the sky-high Terrasse Haute. Admission includes neighbouring Jardin d’Acclimatation.

3. Philharmonie de Paris

Make sure to purchase a ticket for a concert at the Philharmonie de Paris. Metal-lined halls patterned with geometric shapes encase the state-of-the-art hall seats an audience of 2400 in a unique wraparound seating layout. Acoustics are world-class and creative family concerts and workshops turn conventional concert rituals on their head. Watch out for the rooftop walkway to open in summer 2015.
