Treat yourself to a gourmet surprise
Le Restaurant
RestaurantsWith the talented Philippe Bélisse in charge of the kitchen you are guaranteed a gastronomic treat.
Modern masters inside and out
Centre Pompidou
ArtThe 'inside-out' building, and the largest collection of modern art in Europe, make this an umissable stop.
Paris's hippest spot for an aperitif
Chez Jeanette
The kitsch 1940s lights, tobacco-stained wallpaper and PVC-covered banquettes are actually what make this bar special.
Major attractions
Eiffel Tower
AttractionsNo building better symbolises Paris than the Tour Eiffel. And no visit is complete without a climb to the top.
The Louvre
AttractionsThe 'Mona Lisa' is still the star attraction, but thanks to the 'Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code' audio guide, other Leonardos are sharing the limelight.
Sacré-Coeur
AttractionsThe enormous mock Romano-Byzantine edifice is impressive enough alone, but the lavish mosaics inside are also a sight to behold.
