Café Le Nemous
A great place for lunch while people watching
Place Colette, by the entrance to the Palais Royal
Next to the Comedie-Francaise
Great Metro station entrance to view as well

I’ve tickets for the rock en seine music festival at the end of august – any advice on whether its best to use bus/metro from the centre would be helpful.
Thanks!

I can recommend Rue de la Verrerie if you’re looking for somewhere to eat and drink. I much prefer this little street to any of the more touristy areas, with good food and drink at a ‘local’ price.

Not so much a tip as a question… After your William 1st phase, did you ever visit Hastings when you grew up?

Sandrine, thanks for the great book and TV programmes. Please, please keep this site going and up-to-date – I am coming back to Paris at the end of September for a couple of days and would like to take some friends to some of the places featured by you, not the usual ‘tourist’ attractions – done them many times!

Thankyou sandrine so much for your paris dvd, i suffer agoraphobia and vertigo and i really appreciate your work on this film, you enable me to see places in paris.When you went up the Eiffel Tower and spoke of your vertigo it made me laugh as for me to go up a few flights of stairs is enough for me.I was born and always lived in england but feel a european state of mind,i love your friendliness,down to earth style and intelligence and beauty.Is there any french music and films you can recomend? I like all the jaques tatis films,monsieur hire,celine and julie go boating,elogue d’amour to name some.Lastly sandrine any chance to do a second paris dvd?

Unfortunately no tips, but many thanks for the great program on Paris. It was broadcasted in Finland today and I loved it!
I am French and leaving in Finland and I don’t know much Paris. Now after seeing your documentary I certainly want to visit her again.
Next time I visit Paris I’ll come back to this site for tips so keep it up to date, please!

I love your program and the details of Paris. I have been there 3 times and will be back as often as I can. Your show lets me relive the wonderful days spent there. To realize I am walking the same streets as the greats of art, literature and reason, puts me to pause. A question for you. When you were talking of the revolution and the great minds that gave so much to the world, you mentioned “The Rights Of Man” as the “touch stone” for the rest of the world. As most surely is was, it did come after the Declaration of Independence of America and in many site, it is noted that the Declaration of Independence was the focus that gave rise to the the French Rights of Man. Can you clarify this?

Sandrine first I saw you wonderful tour of Paris on Ovation tv here in the states. Having been to Paris myself. First go outside of Paris and venture to the city of Amiens,a wonderful city. Jules Verne was born here.
Now here’s my Parisian tip. Ride the metro all over Paris which is something I did. I rode all over the city this way. Each metrostop has its distinct color and flare. But riding the metro around the city or a train outside the city would be an interesting experince. I would do it again but the metro would be one way to get know Paris and her quartiers much better.

Yes, I did visit Hastings when I was 23… to discover a large green field, requiring a bit of imagination !
@Richard, Comment 7.
Please take a look at the places mentionned on the press articles section for when you come to Paris.

Many thanks for your comments. I see that you’re accustomed to author movies and maybe DVD labels like Artificial Eye and Tartan. I couldn’t agree more. Recent French films worthwile watching are Le Prophète by Jacques Audiard, Une Exécution Ordinaire by Marc Duguain.. as for books, I love the conversations between Truffaut and Hitchcock by François Truffaut.

Chronologically, the Human rights declaration in the United States dates from July 4th 1776 and in France, August 26th 1789, at the beginning of the revolution.
The Human Rights idea had its roots in France and was materialised on paper in America. American politicians were influenced by the ideas of French philosophers like Rousseau, Diderot, Voltaire, which led to the Human rights declaration.
For example, Benjamin Franklin came to France in 1776 to ask for help with the Indepedence war. There was much interchange.
TO EVERYONE: I’ve added some press articles where you will find more ideas for off-track Parisian walks and other tips ; Enjoy !

Just watched the three part series on Paris and loved it.

Sandrine,
In your Paris program, you were sitting in an enclosure of expensive rowhomes where you said you enjoyed coming just to watch people and hang out. I will be in Paris in 2 weeks and I definitely would like to check it out and enjoy a baguette there. Thanks!
