This market is situated in southern Paris and takes place on Saturdays and Sundays from 7 in the morning to around 1.30pm.

Selling lots of Parisian knick-knacks, books, old postcards, jewellery, furniture and much more.

A mix of professionals and amateur sellers and, unlike some other markets in Paris which are awash with cheap clothes and tat, this one has a certain charm.

The sellers aren't pushy and are happy for you to look around and root through without hovering over your shoulder. Some are completely oblivious to their customers, I passed four men sitting at a table playing cards while people sorted through fabric!

Although officially it finishes at 1.30, I would advise going early-ish as many start packing up around 12.

All together a lovely place to wander on a weekend morning.

The Musée d'Orsay is open until 9.45pm on Thursday nights. It is *really quiet* and the museum has a totally different atmosphere than in the day. A very relaxing way spend an evening.

The ticket machines are not the same as those in other RER/metro stations (which are easy to use) these are very complicated to work out. A far easier alternative is to go to the ticket office, all the staff speck perfect English. A lot less stressful.

It is bigger, quieter and in my opinion the most beautiful park you will find in Paris. Parisians will actually leave central Paris to go to this park in summer- that's saying something!

You cannot help but be impressed by its scale. It has the 'grand canal', fountains, a chateau and huge expanses of immaculately kept lawns. But what is also nice is that you can take smaller plane tree lined paths that guide you through a series of more secluded areas. Both elements work seamlessly together.

Undoubtedly the best place to have a picnic in summer!

Parc de seaux is approx. 15/20 minutes from zone 1 on RER line B
