Do you have “Miraculous” fans in your family? Did you know you can visit some of the real life locations of the series on your trip to Paris?

In the episode titled “Sandboy,” Ladybug and Cat Noir confront their biggest fears, which manifested bigger versions of them. This took place at the Trocadero, located close to the Eiffel Tower. In fact, you can get some insta-worthy photos at the Trocadero.

The Trocadero is where most of the scenes take place including all of the battles. When I first saw the Trocadero, I started crying because it took me some time to realize where I was. I was so happy to finally fulfill a wish to visit the spots where “Miraculous” took place.

The next place to visit is the bakery in “Miraculous.” A word of caution, the bakery is its own day trip when you are in Paris. The name of the bakery is Boris Lume Boulangerie. The address is 48, Caulaincourt,75018, Paris, France. While you are there you can visit some other famous spots such as the Grevin Museum which is the museum from the episode “The Puppeteer.”

While these are only two spots I was able to visit, there are so many more locations that your “Miraculous” fan will identify as you do more site seeing!

Paris is a romantic city with many known landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre museum and the Notre Dame Cathedral. The busy streets filled with cars and people walking with shops, cafes on the side of the streets with Paris. The view of the Eiffel Tower and flowers is everything. 

Maybe take a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower? The day we visited the line was too long to buy tickets. Since my family wanted to just look around and not be with large crowds, we chose to take photos on the Champ de Mars and wander around.

On our wander, we stumbled upon the Louvre Museum which is the most popular museum in the world holding the famous painting known as “The Mona Lisa.” The Louvre has four floors with artwork.

After walking along the Seine River, we stopped to admire Notre-Dame Cathedral. Notre-Dame is a world famous landmark that burnt down on April 15th, 2019. While it is now open to the public, there are still some areas under construction. The cost to go inside is free. But book your tickets ahead of time to avoid standing in long lines!

“If you are looking for places to visit away from the city center, I can recommend two places that I enjoyed!”

The palace of Versailles is about an hour drive away from the center of Paris. It is a former royal residence that evolved from a hunting lodge to a symbol of the French monarchy. You can tour the palace, visit the gardens and enjoy a royal treat in one of the fine cafes.  

Disneyland Paris is about one hour away from the center of Paris by train. It is smaller than Disneyworld but it’s still a lot of fun for rides and shopping. My three favorite rides were Crush’s Coaster, Avenger’s Assemble and Space Mountain. And, as someone who loves roller coasters, this was a good day trip. We spent about six hours in the Disney Park, and four hours in the evening at the Disney Studio park. We just wanted to do the bigger rides, so we didn’t need as much time in the parks.

As you can probably tell, each member of my family had different interests when we visited Paris. But there was something for everyone to enjoy and experience. 

In conclusion, Paris has many things to do and see, including for fans of any TV show that took place in Paris! I wish I could go again and see more wonderful stuff from “Miraculous!”
