                <description><![CDATA[If you want authentic high-quality cooking by one of France's greatest chef's, but for a fraction of the price, then make sure you book a table at Alain Ducasse's traditional bistrot in Paris, Aux Lyonnais. As the name suggests all dishes are traditional Lyonnaise fair, including Quenelles a la Lyonnaise, sauce Nantua (yum) and Tarte et île flottante aux pralines roses (even more yum).  With set menus for lunch costing as little as 30 euros, this really was a gem of a find.  Tucked down a quiet side street, the 1890 decor makes for a sumptuous setting that was clearly good enough for Hollywood, as it recently featured in Woody Allen's film Midnight in Paris.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A striking double decker road and rail bridge over the Seine with a fascinating real and fictional life. Originally the Passy Viaduct, renamed the Pont de Bir-Hakeim to commemorate battles in Libya against Rommel. <br><br>It appears in films by Malle and Kieslowski, but most strikingly in Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris. This is where tortured American widower Paul (Brando) first meets Maria Schneider's Jeanne for the first time.  A sinister, beautiful and overwhelming piece of European architecture that sets the tone for the film.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[As seen in the film Amelie, Canal St Martin is good for a wander away from the busier, more touristy areas of Paris. <br><br>Beautiful in spring when the trees are in leaf, this area provides a welcome retreat any time of the year.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The Canal St Martin, as featured in Amelie, is a green lung through the eastern side of the city with its entrancing bow shaped, green bridges. Cross over the Place de Stalingrad to continue into the Bassin de la Villette.  Very romantic by moonlight.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Richard Linklater's sequel to Before Sunrise is gentle, honest and quite unlike anything else from a mainstream American director at the moment. It's also a love letter to Paris, and the city manages to enchant you all over again as Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy wander its streets and talk, talk, talk.]]></description>

This delighful and wholly whimsical piece of candyfloss shows French directors can please crowds as well as critics.]]></description>
