There's a place in France...

1. Le Reminet
75005 Paris
France
+33 1 44 07 04 24
Category:
French
Neighbourhood: Notre Dame De Paris
So glad that a friend tipped me off to this great restaurant just steps from the Notre Dame. We were told to go there for the lunch menu, but we were too tempted by the regular menu. Everything I ordered (halibut carpaccio, steak with polenta, and a…More »
2. Maison Georges Larnicol
75006 Paris
France
+33 1 43 26 39 38
Category:
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhoods: Saint-Michel- Odéon, Saint Germain Des Prés
Delicious chocolates, and macarons that are, honestly, better and fresher than the ones at Laduree. Most of the shop, with the exception of the macarons, are self-serve. Beat that, Sweet Factory! Right now, it's hard for me to keep from eating the…More »
3. City Segway Tours
75015 Paris
France
+33 1 56 58 10 54
Categories:
Travel Agencies,
Tours
Neighbourhood: Tour Eiffel-Champ de Mars
Having done Segway tours in several other cities (Chicago, Rome, Florence and Barcelona), I can definitely say that tooling around a city on a Segway is one of the most fun things you can do as a tourist. Segways aren't very hard to ride, and if you…More »
4. L'Ebauchoir
75012 Paris
France
+33 1 43 42 49 31
One of the best casual meals I had in Paris! Everything was great: the ambiance (lively), the food (delicious bistro fare with a modern twist), the price (reasonable by Parisian standards), the service. The only thing that was amiss was the fair…More »
5. Salento
Randomly popped into this resto after spending a few hours in the Modern Art Museum in the Pompidou Centre. Dishes are simple, quickly prepared, and downright delicious. I had a escalope of chicken in marsala wine sauce, which was tender and moist,…More »
6. Phylea SARL
Home of some of the most beautiful corsets, corset-inspired evening dresses, and fetish wear I've seen on the planet. As a long-time corset collector and enthusiast, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. The prices for these amazing pieces are…More »
7. Mr Robert
In a touristy area chock-full of typical crepe/galette cafes and moules-frites restaurants, Mr. Robert is a gem to find: intimate and casual. One of the best restaurants in Dinan and definitely one of our favorites in France so far. Came in on a…More »
8. Novotel
Having stayed at a couple of Novotels, this particular one is pretty decent. It's still very basic (if you're from North America, it's like a Best Western), but somehow friendlier and cleaner than the other basic Novotel hotels I've been to. The beds…More »
9. Eurostar International
Great way to travel between London and Paris; the time saved by taking the train is definitely worth the premium paid over flying the same distance. However, customs/border processes on the Paris side are confusing and not very well documented.
10. Novotel Chateau de Versailles
This hotel is essentially France's equivalent to a Best Western. Clean and moderately priced (compared to, say, the Trianon Palace!), but also spartan, with not much by way of frills. The location is pretty good, if you've come to visit the Chateau…More »
11. Résidence Duguesclin
Perfectly nice (if very basic) "residence-style" hotel about 1km walking distance from the old town of Dinan, with clean suites that include a little kitchenette. Services are limited -- for example, reception closes in the evening, and daily maid…More »
12. La Taverne de Maître Kanter
Our first meal in Versailles! Although a bit on the touristy side, the food itself was decent. The service, however, was languorous (even by French standards), practically bordering on absent. A little snooty, too, considering the place is 1) right…More »
13. Brasserie Georges
Touristy. My pasta carbonara had far too much sauce, so it was like eating cream and bacon soup with pasta (rather than pasta and sauce), and my husband's pizza was underdone. On the upside, the escargots were delicious. Service was very nice, so it…More »
14. La Station Rambuteau
75004 Paris
France
+33 1 42 72 80 85
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Breweries
Neighbourhood: Beaubourg
Snappy service and decent coffee, but its catty-corner proximity from the Centre Pompidou makes a bit chaotic, especially if you want to sit outside.
15. BD Net
75011 Paris
France
+33 1 43 55 50 50
Categories:
Bookshops,
Comic Books
Neighbourhood: Ledru-Rollin
Love this store, mostly dedicated to graphic novels (nearly all of which are in French). I could spend hours there. I was looking for something specific for a friend (which I can't divulge here, because said friend is also a Yelper and I haven't…More »
