Lively place to eat in shadow of Porte St Martin [mini Arc de Triomphe] and close to several theatres. Menu presented hidden in a French novel! Good French country dishes served with speed and panache by friendly waiters. Busy atmosphere but quieter after 8.15 when theatre goers leave for their shows.
19 Rue Rene Boulanger 75010 Paris Tel 01 42 06 05 27. Metro: Strasbourg St Denis
Museum full of interesting objects on themes of Materials, Scientific Instruments, Construction, Energy , communication and Transport. Something for all ages but the best is a stunning chapel used to display vintage cars, flying machines suspended from the ceiling and a scaled down Statue of Liberty you can eyeball via a curving illuminated ramp. And unlike other Paris museums - no queues!!
