There's lots of stuff you already know about Paris - the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame
and the Pompidou centre; but for me the best thing is discovering its cosmopolitan side. Enjoy a thé à
la menthe at La Grande Mosquée in the Barbès district, head for Les Frères Tang in the XIIIe

I've ever tasted.

The livelier action moved on long ago to the likes of bustling Bastille, which may have been deserted by the real local cognoscenti, but still boasts plenty of colourful small bars, popular clubs and unique little drinking dens. These days, though, even the Bastille can be a bit too mains…

The city centre is actually surprisingly compact and the Métro system makes getting around fairly easy. A good way for first time arrivals to get an idea of how Paris fits together is to take a cruise on the River Seine or ascend the Eiffel Tower and take in a sweeping view of the city. With so much to see, time management is crucial and many people choose to concentrate on one or two of the arrondissements (districts). The nostalgic should wander around the mansions of the Marais district, past…
