Rue du Nil is a very short street, no cars, where you can find one Boulanger (bread), one Poissonier (fish), one Boucher (meat), and one Fromager (cheese). It's where all of us go to buy good french products in the neighborhood. And it's a 5 min walk :)

French restaurant. A little expensive, but the food is really great, not heavy like a lot of french foods. The ambiance is really nice and chic.
Secret tip: there’s a private table for 4 downstairs, completely private and right next to me the kitchen. My personal favorite table.

Merci is a very hip and chic place, very new parisian. There's a boutique (clothes, textiles, utensils, furniture...) and a cozy restaurant downstairs. Their food is healthy, a few gluten-free options, and vegan options too.

Gorgeous street food market. Old parisian, crowded, great street food, great people. My favorite food stand is called "Chez Alain Miam Miam", he makes the best sandwiches and savoury crepes. If you have trouble finding it, it's the one where the queue is the longest :)

This is a hidden magical place. An abandonned railway taken back by nature. There's a secret entrance difficult to find, a few obstacles along the way including a 10 minute walk in a pitch black tunnel; But when you come out the other end, you're the only people left in the city. Gorgeous.
