This is the one of the most beautiful parks I know of. It has sweeping hills that lead down to a lake in the middle, and there's a sort of tower in the middle with views all across Paris.

Very authentic French cuisine at fair prices (say 30-40 euros per person for a nice dinner). Things like oxtail soup and other more obscure French dishes you'll have trouble finding elsewhere.

In my opinion, the best value for money in the area for real French cuisine. The owner is also the chef, and she is VERY expert in her domain, serving up excellent food for around 20-25 euros p person

What luck ! The chef here will very soon be famous, but for now he does lunch and dinner across the street. The lunch at 20 euros / person must be the best bargain in Paris. Continental/exotic cuisine
