Institut Océanographique de Paris

5th Arr.

Built in 1911 by Prince Albert I as a temple to ocean science, this Latin Quarter landmark now hosts candlelit concerts where string quartets play everything from French rap to Queen in its 485-seat amphitheater. The building's Italian Renaissance grandeur and period wood-paneled library make for an atmosphere that's equal parts scholarly and magical.
