Paris Itinerary

Restaurants

Chez Omar

Meal: dinner

Reservation: required

Website: https://plus.google.com/113489145746706123868/about?hl=en

They are known for their couscous and ratatouille-like soup. It's served together as one meal and is quite tasty. And I don't remember it being expensive, I think it was average price which why it's so popular.

Picnic

Rue Cier => Eiffel Tower gardens

Meal: breakfast, lunch (better for picnics)

Find this street: Rue Cier near Eiffel tower, buy some awesome cured meat, baguettes, cheese, fruit, wine, whatever you guys like then head over to Eiffel tower (gardens) for a picnic. It's awesome.

Random food markets

Meal: brekafast, lunch

On the same street as Chez Omar (Rue de Bretagne), you will find a lot of small markets. There's one about 1-2 blocks away from Chez Omar and they have awesome market food as well.

POI

Palace of Versailles

TIP: if you do visit this place, try and go early and go around the palace in reverse order. That way you can visit the palace last (just before it closes) and you can skip the crowd.

So:

  1. Trainon Estate
  2. Marie Antoinette's Estate
  3. Gardens
  4. Palace

Usually people go through the palace first, then end up at Trainon estate. Wrong move.

Marais district

They say it's like the paddington of Paris, so it's worth a stroll. We found stuff to be very expensive, but its cool to look at regardless.
