Thanks to the COVID-19 vaccines, I recently had the opportunity to visit Paris, France, for the first time. In addition to the usual art museums and tourist spots, I approached the city with the goal of visiting some of its scientific and pseudoscientific points of interest. France has a proud history of achievement in science and mathematics, as well as some brushes with pseudoscience and the paranormal, much of which is on display in Paris for the interested traveler. What follows is by no means an exhaustive list.
