14 Off-the-Beaten-Path Things to See in Paris (Updated 2025)

"At the Museum of Counterfeiting (opened in 1972) I saw over 500 counterfeit items collected by customs agents and police as well as donated pieces—from surprisingly convincing counterfeit art and luxury goods to amusingly bad knockoffs of everyday items—which made for an informative and often funny visit." - Matthew Kepnes
