Le Malakoff Restaurant near the Eiffel Tower by Beausoleil
We were walking from the Alma-Marceau Metro stop to the Eiffel Tower and lunch time arrived. We checked menus around the Place du Trocadéro and like the menu at Le Malakoff. We had a lovely lunch and walked on to the Trocadéro, the Eiffel Tower and eventually the Branly Museum. They do have Eiffel Tower views if you get the right seats.

The Alma-Marceau Metro Stop in Paris by Beausoleil
The Alma-Marceau Metro stop is close to a number of interesting sights. There is the Flame of Liberty, a gold-leafed torch and unofficial Princess Diana Memorial that was built to commemorate American-French friendship. The Pont de l'Alma across the Seine to the Palais de l'Alma and the striking new Russian Orthodox Cathédrale de la Sainte-Trinité. Back on the Right Bank, you can walk up ave. du Président Wilson, through the street market and past the City of Paris Museum of Modern Art (free) and the Palais de Tokyo on one side and the Palais Galliéra with its lovely garden on the other side. When you get to the Iéna Metro stop, you'll find the Musée Guimet with its Asian art collection. It's a pretty easy walk from there to the Trocadéro and Eiffel Tower. There is a lot to see in a small area.

Place du Marché Sainte-Catherine by Beausoleil
Place du Marché Sainte-Catherine is a busy market square in the Marais near the Place des Vosges. The Place des Vosges is beautiful but always crowded. Place Ste. Catherine is crowded during markets but quite peaceful on other days. It is a respite from crowds in an ever-more-crowded-city.

La Brasserie de l’Isle Saint-Louis by Beausoleil
This is kind of a Paris institution. It's been here for ages and has been run by the same family since 1953. They have a view of Notre Dame Cathedral so it is always full of tourists, but otherwise it is pure Paris. They have foods from different parts of France, but we particularly like their Alsatian dishes. Whatever you want, they will probably have it and serve it cheerfully.

Au Bourguignon du Marais Restaurant on rue François Miron by Beausoleil
We were looking for lunch and this wasn't it but I loved the bicycles parked across the street in juxtaposition with the busy café. As the name states, they specialize in dishes and wines from Burgundy.

Dog wearing a Beret next to Chez Julien on rue des Barres in Paris by Beausoleil
It's not often you see a dog wearing a beret, even in Paris, but this cute fellow had a hand-knit beret of his very own and seemed quite content. We noticed quite a beret come-back the last time we were in Paris although all the others were on people, not dogs.

Chez Julien at the corner of rue des Barres and rue de l'Hôtel de Ville by Beausoleil
Chez Julien is on the corner of a very busy rue de l'Hôtel de Ville and the pedestrian rue des Barres. This was notable for the lady walking her little dog because the dog was wearing its very own little turquoise beret. He looked very French.

Café de l'Empire in Paris by Beausoleil
Cosy little café on the corner of rue de Bac and rue de Verneuil. We had an apartment on rue Verneuil once and this was our go-to café. All the workers in the neighborhood eat there and they have a different special every day. I have tried them all and they are all very good. The prices are ridiculously low and the staff is cheerful and kind. It has been discovered by budget-minded tourists of late so you really need to get there early or you will wait for a seat. Highly recommended.

Le Comptoir des Arts, our stop for tea and hot chocolate by Beausoleil
This pleasant café was near our Metro stop so we often popped in for tea, coffee or hot chocolate on our way to and from different places in Paris. We were never there at meal time so I have no idea what the food is like but it is friendly and clean and a nice place to escape a sudden rainstorm.

Cave La Bourgogne Brasserie by Beausoleil
A really good and fun brasserie a couple blocks from our Paris apartment. The waiters are excellent and very helpful and the setting is sublime. You are opposite the Fountain Guy Lartigue at the end of rue Mouffetard so it is always busy and lots of fun. The food is traditional French without silly American hamburgers on the menu. The drinks are done well and the wine selection more than adequate. We ate there several times during our stay and stopped for a kir a few more times.

Bouillon Chartier or Chartier - a very good and fun restaurant in Paris by Beausoleil
Chartier is over 100 years old and was founded on the principal "provide a decent meal at a reasonable price and give customers good service in order to earn their loyalty" and it works. You are seated at communal tables, share bread and water and order your meal from a very pleasant and efficient wait staff. The food is excellent and the price reasonable. If you want a fun Paris experience that involves traditional food, good company and not a lot of money, don't miss Chartier. They do not take reservations and the lines can be long. Going early helps.

Passage des Panoramas by Beausoleil
The Passage des Panoramas is the oldest of the covered passages of Paris and is located in the 2nd arrondissement between the blvd. Montmartre and rue Saint-Marc. Built in 1799 and currently listed as a historical monument. The Théâtre des Variétés, inaugurated in 1807 is still active, programming concerts and comedies. There are many stamp dealers and the Passage des Panoramas has been the heart of the Paris philatelic trade for centuries.

Tea Room in the Rodin Museum Gardens by Beausoleil
The Musée Rodin in Paris opened in 1919 and is primarily dedicated to the works of the French sculptor Auguste Rodin. It has two sites: the Hôtel Biron and surrounding grounds in central Paris that constitute the Rodin Museum and Gardens, and another site at the Villa des Brillants in Meudon where he lived. You can get a twin ticket to the Musée d'Orsay and the Paris Rodin if you can do two museums in one day. You used to be able to visit the gardens for 4 euros but I haven't been able to find that option on their web site lately. It may be worth asking as there is a lovely tea room in the garden and quite a few marvelous sculptures in addition to the fountain and flowers.

The renovated restaurant in the Musée d'Orsay by Beausoleil
The Orsay is in the former Gare d'Orsay, a Beaux-Arts train station built between 1898 and 1900. The museum holds mainly French art dating from 1848 to 1914, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, and photography. It is where you will find most of the Impressionist paintings you are looking for. The other place in Paris to find a lot of Impressionists is the Marmottan-Monet Museum in the 16 arrondissement (district). I highly recommend both museums.

View from the roof of the Institut du Monde Arabe by Beausoleil
The Arab World Institute, in French the Institut du Monde Arabe, is an organization founded in Paris in 1980 by 18 Arab countries with France to research and disseminate information about the Arab world and its cultural and spiritual values. Inside are a museum, library, auditorium, restaurant, offices and meeting rooms. Visible behind the outside glass wall, a metallic screen unfolds with moving geometric motifs. The motifs are actually 240 photo-sensitive motor-controlled apertures, or shutters, which act as a sophisticated brise soleil that automatically opens and closes to control the amount of light and heat from the sun entering the building. The mechanism creates interior spaces with filtered light — an effect often used in Islamic architecture with its climate-oriented strategies. It is also beautiful. The restaurant is on the roof and has marvelous views over Paris. On this occasion, it gave us a view of the newly-burned Notre Dame just after they had put a temporary canvas cover on the roof to protect the inside.

Café St. Victor on rue St. Victor by Beausoleil
We were doing a Paris Walk and notice the lovely Eglise Saint-Nicolas du Chardonnet so made a detour. To our delight we also found the picturesque Café St. Victor on a tiny triangle of a square in front of the church.

Breakfast in America - a very strange diner in central Paris by Beausoleil
We were getting back on track on one of our Paris Walks and noticed "Breakfast in America" which seemed very odd to us in the center of Paris. With all those lovely croissants, who would want an American breakfast? Not us . . .

Le Relais Fac for a quick and friendly lunch by Beausoleil
This is a student restaurant near the Institut du Monde Arabe. We decided to get lunch before we tackled a rather large museum and this was nearby and had a good menu. Very friendly and the food was quite good. We enjoyed it.

Trencher's Restaurant in Whitby by Beausoleil
This is described as having the best fish and chips in England. I haven't tested all of them, but can say that we had excellent fish and chips at Trencher's. They also had the most magnificent restroom facilities we saw on the trip.
