The Seine, a great witness to the best romantic stories in the city
It needs no introduction, because her nickname says it all about her: it is the city of love. It is a classic, to which every couple must escape at one time or another. To which he must return with any excuse. Where you should celebrate any event, however banal it may be.
A RESTAURANT
The 1728 it changes face as the hands of the clock move. While at noon it is frequented by executives and politicians, in the afternoon, at tea time, it brings together an elegant clientele who take a break from their purchases on rue de Fauburg de Saint Honoré and rue Royal, just a stone's throw away. In the evening, with its suggestive and 100% Parisian atmosphere, becomes a fiefdom of lovers.
The fiefdom of lovers
Works of art hang on its walls (with a predilection for Italian baroque tables), chandeliers hang from its ceilings, and its creations are served on its plates. Chef Geraldine Rumeau , which fuses French and Japanese food without giving up other exotic influences _(tasting menu: €110) _.
Its wine list, with more than 200 references , is one of its hallmarks. You can also have a drink in the evening.
100% Parisian refinement
A WALK
The Champs Elysées, Le Marais, Montmartre... perhaps you already know all those places of Paris , that is why we propose something new that, although it is not on the way to any of them, is one of the most hidden jewels of the capital. We take you to the Butte-aux-Cailles , a hill south of Place d’Italie, in the 13th arrondissement, which could well remind the Montmartre of decades ago or a small town of low houses and cobbled ground.
In addition to seeing some of its buildings, such as the church of Santa Ana (rue de Tolbiac) , the swimming pool (5 place Paul-Verlaine, one of the oldest in Paris) , you have to walk through Rue Davidel, also known as Little Alsace, and for its most picturesque street: rue des Five Diamonds , with its theater (where the Ladies of the Folies Bergères in the interwar period) and its restaurants, including the Basque Chez Gladines , at number 35, always very crowded.

AN EXPERIENCE
Visit the Marché des enfants rouges (39, rue de Bretagne) , in Le Marais, with flower stalls and gourmet cuisine, cheeses, breads, fruits, foie... Some of them have restaurants with a few tables where the genre that is sold is cooked . Today it is the oldest market in Paris, created in 1615.
It opens from Tuesday to Saturday, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. (Friday and Saturday until 8:00 p.m.) and on Sunday until 2:00 p.m. Very much to the taste of the bobochic.

A HOTEL WHERE TO HIDE LIKE BRAD PITT
The most glamorous couple in the world choose it when they travel to Paris. Rent in its entirety Hotel Particulier (HD: from €232), located in the most emblematic area of Montmartre, but at the same time very hidden. The reasons are weighty: it's intimate (there are only five rooms, all of them suites), contemporary, t It has a wonderful little garden and its rooms such an elegant and personal interior design, that they pass with flying colors even the examination of a design and architecture addict like Pitt. If you are looking for a hotel in the Haussmann's Paris , your choice is Mandarin Oriental . The chef of his restaurant is Thierry Marx.
