                <description><![CDATA[Just in front of the Jardin des Plantes, the huge Mosquée de Paris is a pleasure to visit, especially on Sunday morning after a big night out. This peaceful temple shelters a gorgeous tea salon where Parisians enjoy a cup of mint tea on comfortable sofas or in the colourful courtyard. <br><br>Forget about the hurried waiters and focus on the Arabic atmosphere and the honey cakes. <br><br>You can lose the extra calories by strolling through the botanic gardens across the road or by trying the Hammam next door.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[When I was a happy Sorbonne student, me and my "Amphithéâtre" mates used to meet up at this hidden but crowdy pub after class. Drinks are cheap, the landlord's pitbull doesn't bite and the setting is great. Inside, the Pantalon (Trousers) looks like a microscopic Parisian street where all customers can leave their artistic touch or simply stick their chewing gum under the table. Happy hour between 17h30 and 19h30. Open at 10 am till 2 am, everyday.]]></description>

                <title>The Bombardier pub</title>

                <description><![CDATA[The Bombardier is a typical British pub stuck between the stunning Panthéon and the Saint Etienne du Mont Church. That might explain why the setting is so different. Everything inside is made of wood and old stones just like the monuments outside. You won't meet as many "Grands Hommes" as in the Panthéon but big screens will help you to support your favourite football or rugby team. <br><br>Before the match, go for the delicious "Fish in beer batter" meal. Food is very original, just like beers. Try the old fashioned "Bombardier Cask" beer during the Happy Hours (16h00 to 21h00. Opens at 8 am and closes at 2. am, 7 days a week.]]></description>

                <title>Have a beer with God at the Lèche Vin</title>

                <description><![CDATA[Le "Lèche-vin" (=lick wine) is a  bizarre and noisy bar, near rue de la Roquette, Bastille.  The place is frequented by locals, including La Sorbonne rugby players because of its cheap pints of lager (4.10 euros) and the friendly atmosphere. But what makes it interesting is his "décor". Thousands of crucifixes, yellowed pictures of former popes, religious paintings are stuck absolutely everywhere in the bar... except in their gloomy Turkish toilets where every single space is filled with porn pictures. An hilarious experience!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Forget the Odeon, enjoy the MK2. Next to the modern François Mitterand national library, this MK2 cinema is Eden for cinema-goers. Not only you will enjoy French films in the best audio conditions but the MK2 architect designed comfy armchairs he called "fauteuils pour deux"... armchairs for couples! Vive la France! And if you're single, no worry: you can still watch your film while stretching your big legs. What a pleasure!]]></description>
