This is one of the best bakeries in Paris. The pistachio escargot roll is a must-have, and the baguettes are made in the traditional way (7-hr versus 90-min process).

Parks & Nature
Waterfalls, cliffs and temples are just a few of the beautiful things you can stumble upon whilst strolling in this park. Situated in the 19th arrondissement, tourists usually stay away from the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, but the locals know it to be one of the best in Paris. It is one of the largest parks in the city, and it is definitely worth a visit. Bring a picnic blanket, a book and relax, or take a stroll through the many paths this park has to offer

The Jardin du Luxembourg is located in the 6th arrondissement, and is where the locals go for a run, so why not join them and discover all the statues and artwork the park has to offer while burning those extra calories from all the crepes and cheese? The park was created in 1612 and has since evolved to become the beautiful space it is today: home to six tennis courts and a playground as well as impressive sculptures. Things to be done here include pony rides, sailing your sailboat in the central fountain and enjoying a famous Guignol puppet show.

Sightseeing
Visiting the iconic symbol of Paris usually ranks as the number one thing to do for most tourists. Towering more than 1,000 feet (300 meters) high in the Champ de Mars park, this iron structure was constructed for the 1889 World Exposition. One of the world’s most photographed tourist attractions, the Eiffel Tower presents an excellent photography opportunity for both day and night times. Visitors can ride the elevator to see incredible views of the city or dine in one of the two fine restaurants that are situated within the tower.

At the heart of the city, the Marais embodies both the charm of old times and the modernity of the metropolis. We love getting lost in the cobbled streets of this neighborhood known as the " Old Paris ". We discover sumptuous hidden courtyards , one unearths there bakeries with walls covered with ivy, of provocative art galleries. The large Jewish population living there , and the gay community who made his home , take great care to preserve the heritage and neat aesthetics of this beautiful neighborhood.

Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris
6 Parvis Notre-Dame - Pl. Jean-Paul IIMake no mistake: the Champs-Élysées, while ceding some of its elegance in recent times, remains the most famous avenue in Paris—and, perhaps, the world. Like New York's Times Square or London's Piccadilly Circus, it is a mecca for travelers and locals alike. Some Parisians complain that fast-food joints and chain stores have cheapened Avenue des Champs-Élysées, but others are more philosophical, noting that there is something here for everyone. Anchoring the Champs is the Arc de Triomphe, Napoléon's monument to himself. At the other end, the exquisitely restored Grand Palais plays host to some of the city's grandest art exhibitions.
