Stepping outside of the concert hall, here a couple of my favorite sites to get to know Paris like you’re (almost) there.
Walk along the grand boulevards and immerse yourself in the neighborhoods of Paris. For a peek into the world of Sylvie Lewis, take the tour from Montparnasse to the Luxembourg Gardens, where classic buildings mix with trendy storefronts. Outside of Paris, visit the historic city of Compiègne. Once the summer palace of Napoleon, Château de Compiègne holds secrets of its own in Finding Sylvie.

You can explore the same avenues as Sylvie Lewis, using Street View to see the city’s historical and modern architecture. Join Sylvie on her journey from the Paris Conservatory to Café Madeleine, and find her at home on rue de Fleurus. Author Gertrude Stein lives on this street, too.
