Top 10 Things to Eat, See and Do in Paris

This is my list after being here for 18 months:

1) Go to the boulangerie on corner of rue Manuel and rue des Martyrs 75009 and order "une Flute". Best baguettes ever tasted. Also get a pain au chocolat blanc, it is a mini baguette with white chocolate melted and caramelized into the crust.

2) Take a picnic and go to Buttes de Chaumont. Place yourself at the top of the park by Café la Rosa, and order some saucisson.

3) Musée D'Orsay

4) In the summertie, such as this summer, go to Parc Floral in Parc des Vincennes on a Sunday to listen to some jazz. Make sure to find the little café in the park and order a Granita Pnia Colada (Pina Colada Slussy). Best and strongest I have had.

5) Eat dinner at Wadja, 10, Rue Grande Chaumière 75006. Let them help you with the wines if you don't know because the wine list is extensive and amazing. Or order some Domaine Richaud, Ebrascade (this is a strong, robust Cote du Rhône, where I picked grapes

6) Best croissants are between métro Abesses (line 12) and rue de Lepic 75018

7) Go have a few glasses of wine at the bar Juveniles, 42 rue de Richilieu 75001.

8) Patisseries: Aoki Sadharu 56, Boulevard Port Royal 75013

9) Window shopping in the Marais

10) Japanese noodles rue Saint Anne 75001
