The great majority of Paris's interior attractions, its world-class museums, galleries, and monuments, do not admit dogs. But the city's outdoor spaces and architectural monuments are a different matter. Paris has some of the finest pedestrian streets, gardens, and public squares in Europe, and most of them welcome leashed dogs. The three sites below are not compromises, they are genuinely among the finest things to do in Paris with a dog.
รle de la Citรฉ ยท 6 Parvis Notre-Dame - Place Jean-Paul II, 75004 Paris
๐ก Come at 07:30 before the crowds arrive. The parvis is almost empty, the light is beautiful, and you can walk the full island circuit in peace. By 10:00 it is extremely busy
Montmartre, 18th arrondissement ยท 35 Rue du Chevalier de la Barre, 75018 Paris
๐ก Avoid the funicular with a large dog (technically permitted but very crowded). Take the stairs via Rue Foyatier instead, it is only 222 steps and the views improve with each flight. Arrive before 09:00 on weekdays for an almost tourist-free experience
1st arrondissement ยท Place du Palais Royal, 75001 Paris
๐ก The arcaded galleries have a number of excellent restaurants with tables that face the garden. Le Grand Vรฉfour (one of Paris's oldest restaurants) and Kei both have terrace seating where well-behaved dogs are tolerated. Reserve in advance
