Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, you thrive in environments that offer mental engagement and lively discussions. Luckily, Paris is a treasure trove of experiences that cater to your dynamic interests, from art and science to literature and music. French people will lively discuss basically anything. This culture really has discussing as sport so you will fit in well.
A basic Paris starter kit will not do for you 🙂
The ideas below are to start you thinking about things to do that can be applied to all of your varied interests. And we know that could be as far and wide as the air that symbolizes your sign can go lol. While your mind is always going, searching for all there is to know – we love this about you! – Paris is also a good time to try and slow down and savor. So while at a book store or strolling a museum, do take a second and open your heart and connect through that organ too lol. After all, the heart is the thing. What better place to engage it while learning.
Who knows what you will come up with, dear Gemeaux…

1. Explore Parisian Museums
Paris is home to a multitude of museums that will captivate your curious mind. While classics like the Louvre and Musée d’Orsay are must-visits, consider exploring smaller, specialty museums. The Musée Gustave Moreau offers an intimate look at the artist’s home and work, while the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature provides a unique perspective on hunting and nature. Don’t overlook the city’s remarkable libraries, which often double as museums with rich historical and cultural exhibits.
