If you've just got off the train at Gare Saint-Lazare, or are simply strolling through this central, bustling district of the capital, then you might be on the lookout for some good deals in the area, but also in the Quartier de l'Europe, located behind this busy train station.
It has to be said that the Quartier de l'Europe and the surrounding area are overflowing with museums, each more interesting than the last - Nissim de Camondo, Jacquemart-André, Cernuschi, to name but a few! -, breathtakingly beautiful churches and synagogues, and other must-see Parisian landmarks such as theEglise Saint-Augustin , just a stone's throw away, and the Pagode de Paris.
If you're feeling a little hungry, the area also boasts a number of bistronomic and gastronomic restaurants, as you'd expect from a chic neighborhood; and to recover from all these cultural and culinary emotions, a little trip to the Parc Monceau is a must! Let's head for Saint-Lazare and the Europe district for an unforgettable day!
