Moroccan Restaurant · Temple · 122 tips and reviews
Varun Shetty: The couscous dishes are large enough for 2 people. Tagines feed 1. The eggplant starter is cold, but tasty. And the cheese pastry starter is delicious.
Jardin des Tuileries (Place de la Concorde), Paris, Île-de-France
Art Museum · Tuileries · 221 tips and reviews
Varun Shetty: An amazing collection of art: Picasso, Cezanne, Rodin, Matisse, Degas. And two rooms with Monet's giant water lily canvasses. Pound for pound (frame for frame?), perhaps the best museum in the world.
34 rue des Rosiers (Rue des Écouffes), Paris, Île-de-France
Falafel Restaurant · Hôtel-de-Ville · 495 tips and reviews
Varun Shetty: €6 for 8 (!) falafel balls in a sandwich that ways about 45 pounds. The roasted eggplant is a nice touch. If you want any alterations to your order, you better be a fast talker.
Varun Shetty: Sleepy coffee shop. For €12 get yogurt and granola, a pain au chocolate, an orange juice, and a any one of their coffee drinks (the chai tea latte has maple syrup in it - yum).
1 rue de la Légion d'Honneur (Quai Anatole France), Paris, Île-de-France
Art Museum · Saint Thomas d'Aquin · 829 tips and reviews
Varun Shetty: No photography allowed inside most of the museum but when you're up on one of the 5th floor platforms you are allowed take a great shot of this old train station.
Varun Shetty: Play a fun game called "How many NYC apartments could fit in this palace?" This painting is larger than the first apt my wife and I lived in together.
French Restaurant · Hôtel-de-Ville · 186 tips and reviews
Varun Shetty: A knockout view. A really nice space. The waiters are in tuxes but they'll still be very nice to you if you're in sneakers. Come for a glass of wine and the sunset.
Varun Shetty: A sandwich worthy of the name Monsieur. While peasants overburden their sandwiches with too much cheese, Le Comptoir finely toasts their bread, adds just enough creamy cheese and hits the spot.
Rue de Rivoli (Place du Carrousel), Paris, Île-de-France
Museum · Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois · 2289 tips and reviews
Varun Shetty: You could spend many days here. OR just 90 minutes. Follow my plan and you'll see the highlights and walk past a lot of great stuff. Don't be that guy who looks defeated in the museum - trust me.
Varun Shetty: So nice. Similar to New York's High Line. Walk across it and be insanely jealous of the folks who live near it and have that view every day of their lives.
