Top 10 Things to do in Chaillot, 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.

We visited on a Friday lunchtime. It’s situated in a wing of the Palais de Tokyo and from the light flooded first few interior rooms you have views of the nearby Eiffel Tower, perfectly complimenting the large Robert Delaunays. We saw a Picasso head sculpture, many Dufys, superb Bonnards...including the masterpiece of Marthe in a bath. I was not keen on some of the work in other rooms...but as it’s free and there is so much good work to see you just speed up! Highly recommended.

We always visit the Guimet when in Paris for its great collection of Asian Art. This time we were lucky to be just in time for the temporary exhibition "On the Tokaido Road", an extensive collection of 200 beautiful Japanese prints by Hiroshige and many other artists depicting the myriad scenes and spectacular landscapes on this important coastal road from the Edo period. An amazing collection rarely seen all in one place.

Absolutely best views of the Eiffel tower in a direct line. Also a great place to people watch thousands of tourists and their crazy pics there. The only downside are many souvenir sellers, but they're not to pushy.
