    Hi All
    Heading to Paris for a few days soon and was wondering if anyone had any tips, either touristy things or not, that myself and the GF should see / experience...... The quirkier the better :)
    Been in France before but this is my first trip to Paris, the my GF used to live there in the 90's
    Anyhoo.....any help would be great

    If your French is up to it, check l'Officiel des Spectacles for stuff happening during your stay.

    Some of the flea markets/marchés aux puces can be a nice way to spend a couple of hours/amass tatty presents for the family.

    Cycling tour of the city. My favourite thing I did when I was there. Very relaxed and interesting. See www.bikeabouttours.com
    You get all the interesting info off the beaten track...and some on the track.

    If you're near the Moulin Rouge, off blvd de Clichy, you have an alley way with loads of restaurants. It's rue des Dames.

    Personally, I found http://bistrotdesvignes17.com/ brilliant and excellent value.

    Hi guys,

    Managed to wangle a weekend in Paris with wife and sans kids. Really fancy just hanging around for the weekend at cafes/restaurants and flea markets. Anyone any recommendations?
