A favorite for a fast espresso. My friends run this cafe and serve coffea roasted in Paris.

Climb your way up the escalators to the 9th floor of the Printemps department store (the Beauté & Maison building) for possibly one of the best panoramic views of Paris. You can see pretty much everything from here and unlike the views from the Eiffel Tower you’re right in the middle of the city and can almost reach out and touch the monuments around you. Go up on a sunny afternoon and take a seat on one of the benches, lay down on the fake grass lawn or have a drink and a snack at the Deli-Ciel café.

A cute little restaurant with good sandwiches with a wink on the south east of France. And nice cookies ! Yummy

A fantastic bookstore, with a wonderful selection of books on photography, architecture, painting, graphics, design, cinema, music and cooking

No matter what season you are, this Magritte blue sky after the sunset is the perfect moment to walk in the streets. It's the blue hour
