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

"On the ground floor of the French National Museum of Natural History (opened in 1898), I found over 1,000 animal skeletons from around the world, including complete skeletons of elephants, large cats, and even dinosaurs; the display is as fascinating as it is unsettling, with all the animals facing the same way and creating an eerie, almost stampede-like effect." - Matthew Kepnes
