For a couscous not too far from our place, our favorite one. Kids friendly. Nice decor, excellent food. Perfect for a tea time and some Marrocan pastries after visiting Le Jardin des Plantes or the Grande Galerie de l'Evolution.

Just at the street's corner. From Yves Camdeborde, very good chef, a place to get some tapas style sea food with a good glass of wine.

Our discovery Fall 2019. Incredible Japonese chef proposing French cuisine revisited with Tepanyaki tradition. In a very small dining room, in a small street near Bir-Hakeim. Not too far from the Eiffel tower and Trocadero. Booking necessary. For 2-4 people, ask to be at the Tepanyaki's table.

There are plenty of pizzeria rue des canettes. My favorite one is Positano, for its freshness, the quality of the pizza puff and its antipasti. The dining room is ok. Children friendly.

Oudoor restaurant for lunch only, in the gardens of the Fashion Museum (Musee de la mode) palais Galliera. In front of the Eiffel Tower. Really nice food, exceptional place. No need to pay the museum entrance to access the restaurant. But the museum is nice as well. Booking recommended.

Outdoor restaurant in the garden of the Musee Carnavalet (History of Paris museum). Very good restaurant, opened for lunch and dinner, and at valuable price given the food and the place. Highly recommended to book in advance.

Very well known pastry. The emblematic cake is the Ispahan and the Rose Macaron. But so many other nice things... There is a new shop Pierre Hermé just in front our building Bd St Germain, not yet registered for this guide.

Many chocolate houses in Paris... Pierre Marcolini is not my favorite, but in my top 5. The best for fruit chocolates.

My favorite chocolate maker. Jacques Genin is most of all a grand chef, who turned his creativity towards chocolate. Everything is perfectly composed, every creation is incredibly elegant. But also enjoy the "pâtes de fruits" , they are completely different from every other ones you could have experienced in your life. Try the vegetable ones (beetroot in particular). They are more difficult to appreciate, but let's try! Genin's pastries are also wonderful, but have to be ordered.

So lucky to get this shop nearby! We stop at the Coopérative laitière du Beaufortain in Bourg Saint Maurice when we go down back to Paris from Val d'Isère or Les Arcs to buy Beaufort, the finest Alpine cheese (other cheeses that you can find there are very good too, but Beaufort is definitely our favorite one). When we are nostalgic from the Alps, we come here...

Lieux emblématiques

Just to walk, for early morning run, to seat on a bench and read, to get kids outdoor... At 5 minutes walk. Traditional kids playground; our kids were fans of the small wooden boats that you can rent, in the central bassin. Bees houses at the Vaugirard corner. Avoid on windy days.

Happy hour

My favorite bar to meet friends at happy hour, or lunch time around a plancha (the one with foie gras) and a glass of white wine. The terrasse is sunny on afternoons....

Marketplace in the Marais rue de Bretagne, where you can also drink and eat during weekends, notably out of restaurants hours. My teenagers and young adults love it. But be prepared to be in a crowd, to queue, and to eat finger food.

I have added Rosa Bonheur but there are plenty of Guinguettes along the river where you can stop, have a dring, eat something. I haven't been yet in 2023. It can be noisy, expensive and not good. But this is along the Seine, sunny, with a view on the most beautiful places in Paris.

Not so famous museums

No need to describe the Louvre or Musée d'Orsay. Here are some less famous museums that desserve a visit.
I am not a fan of Maillol permanent collection, but check if there are some temporary exhibitions. They are generally very good. Charming hotel Particulier. Spring 2023: very nice exhibition on the photographer Elliott Erwitt.

My favorite museum... For Rodin's work. For the building. For the garden, where you can access just for a walk, a tea, and spend time there. So inspiring and harmonious! Don't miss it. you can go walking from home (25 minutes).
