Steeped in Parisian history, this bar has seen it all. It was once a theatre/cabaert which featured the likes of of Edith Piaf and Maurice Chevalier. If only these walls could talk. Now a bar, it's always bustling no matter the time of day. Grab a drink, find a table, or chat up the bartender, and watch the Parisian life pass by before your eyes.

Parks & Nature
Stunning views from the top of Paris. Parc des Buttes Chaumont was described to me as " ifCentral Park were Jurassic Park" There's a waterfall, lakes, hills, meadows, bridges, and children's playgrounds. Enjoy a glass of wine or beer at Rosa Bonheur, or put on your running shoes and join the locals for a jog. Great to sit out and take the sun, watch the wildlife (wild parrots!).
