Guidebook for Paris
Sightseeing
Great place for picnics! Watch the tower sparkle at night, each hour, starting at 8pm. If going to the top, I recommend to go in the morning to avoid the lines, which can easily be 1 -2 hours long.

Food Scene
Rue Cler
Rue ClerGreat cafe for people-watching and drinking coffee or wine.
One of the best, reasonably-priced, restaurants in the neighborhood (and my personal favorite!) For lunch, try the 2-course menu! No reservations, so get there by 7PM if going for dinner.

Drinks & Nightlife
My favorite bar in the neighborhood. Half-price cocktails during the week from 5 to 8 pm. Great for a drink and a cheese or meat plate (which they call a "planche").
