A modern park, very architectural and different from traditional parks. Lots of fountains and greenhouses and a good place to spend a quiet Sunday morning with the family.

A slightly more upmarket street with some interesting shops and architecture. There are several shops selling children's and baby clothes etc (and a very good ice cream/sorbet shop at the end of the street near to the Luxembourg Gardens).An interesting extension to walking round the Gardens.

Fabric shop - for a wonderful selection of all kinds of fabric,patterns and haberdashery. It's the sort of shop you don't find in England any more, situated just below the Sacre Coeur in a quarter which features many fabric shops. Very helpful staff and the place has a buzz about it.

Travel on metro line 6, which in many places is elevated and gives good views of the surroundings. Take it over Bir Hakeim bridge to Passy station and then stroll back over the river, which gives wonderful views across to the Tour Eiffel.
