Guidebook for Paris
Sightseeing
A mini Statue of Liberty at the end of a thin island just off the "inception bridge" Pont de Bir Harkim. A nice local place for a stroll nearby with not that many tourists (you will see them take wedding pictures on the bridge itself though).

Food Scene
A local institution situated on the iconic Trocadéro square, a salon de thé from the 20s that provides savory and sweet options. A little pricey but worth it (the portions are generous and it's delicious) ! Favourites are: raspberry tart and palmier with a good café crème.

Pierre Hermé is the king of French pastries. This shop just down the street has recently started selling his cakes along side his signature macarons (which I've done a side by side comparison with Ladurée and other brands and it is much better quality).
