The 10 Best Things to do in Gros-Caillou, Ile-de-France
Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

As regular visitors to Paris over many years, my wife and I always make it a point to visit this icon of Arte Nouveau. It is strikingly beautiful, complex and engaging. Obviously not for everyone . . .

3. Rue Cler
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 717 reviews
This lively cobblestone street effectively preserves the ambience of Paris of old and is home to countless small shops.
Reviewed By Z3458RZerick - Orlando, United States
Rue Cler is a predominantly local market street, with individual shops for each food item. One shop for cheese. One for meats. One for fruit and veggies. Once for baked goods. Etc. There are also little cafes with street seating to sit and watch the world go round. If you go, be respectful of the locals...this is where they shop. Do yourself a favor...get a little something at several shops, get a bottle of wine, and go find some shade under a tree, or on a bench, at the south end of the Champs de Mars, and have a quiet picnic, and just enjoy being in Paris.

This place has a history stretching back to the Lost Generation, but their newly updated space gives you the best of a modern library. It costs about 10 Euros for a day pass or 100 for a year membership, and the catalog is outstanding: my father went in and said that they had every single one of his favorite sf/f writers. There's also an incredible archive of fashion magazines, so if you're in Paris doing research on fashion history, this is your place. They also do extensive programming for young people and have two librarians (with library degrees) for young people on staff. Great place!
5. Musee du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,977 reviews
Located close to the Eiffel Tower, the musée du quai Branly exhibits 3 500 works of art from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Oceania. This important collection makes the musée du quai Branly an unmissable place for discovering the art culture of the non-European world. The museum’s original and imposing architecture designed by Jean Nouvel and its wild garden created by the landscaper Gilles Clément combine to make it a pleasant and unique place. The museum is the fourth largest museum in Paris.

Just a block away from the Eiffel Tower, you’ll find the beautiful garden and dreamlike interiors of Musée du Quai Branly. This museum of ethnic art from around the world is a wonderful addition to the other great museums of Paris. Because it’s relatively new, it is also not crowded. You can therefore enjoy the strange, organic flowing spaces and amazing collection in a peaceful, uncrowned environment. The gardens are free and would be a great place to let your kids explore if they aren’t already exhausted from having climbed to the nearby Eiffel Tower. There’s also a comfortable café where are you can rest your feet and quench your thirst. Highly recommended!

We attended a concert by Philip Glenister, tenor and Laurana Mitchelmore, piano. The acoustics were excellent. I suggest you wear a warm coat. There will be 4 more recitals weekly on Sunday evenings 11/04-11/25 at 5:00 pm. Don’t miss them.
