Dining Options:
The Four Seasons Hotel George V has an elegant gastronomic restaurant Le Cinq which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu offers a selection of wonderful traditional French food and wine. As it recently earned its third Michelin star, reservations are strongly advised ahead of time as space is limited.

There is also a beautifully furnished and decorated tea gallery, La Galerie, serving afternoon tea, and also a light lunch or dinner. The same smaller menu is also available in the Le Bar. Le Bar, as the name suggests, is the main bar of the hotel which is open from 1000 until late at night.

The French national passion for good food means that eating out in Paris is always going to be a pleasure. Most restaurants serve French cuisine but there is also a range of other national foods which are represented in the city such as Chinese, Vietnamese, North African, Italian and Greek. Although there are restaurants and cafes all over the city, some areas have a more plentiful supply than others.

The area around the Champs-Elysees and Madeleine has lots of fast food outlets and over-priced cafes along with some very good, expensive restaurants. Montparnasse is good for 1920s style cafes and smaller bistros whilst the Left Bank contains lots of restaurants of all types, particularly in the tourist areas around St Germain des Pres and the Latin Quarter.

Around the Opera you will find some good brasseries and if you are looking for trendy, small bistros and tea salons then head for the fashionable Marais and Bastille areas.

For more ethnic cuisine there is a high concentration of Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants in the area south of Place dItalie and in Belleville. Belleville, to the east of Paris, is also packed with small North African restaurants.

Local information:
One of the most impressive avenues in the world, the Avenue des Champs-Elysees runs between Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe, which sits imperiously at the top.

Tree lined along its full length, this exclusive avenue features some of the most exclusive restaurants in Paris, sophisticated and expensive cafes and the world famous Lido de Paris cabaret.

The Arc de Triomphe has become one of the most famous landmarks of Paris and is now the customary starting point for victory celebrations and parades.

Around the Arc de Triomphe are some of the most prestigious, fashionable and expensive residential areas of the city.

The area of Chaillot is rich in grand Second Empire avenues which converge on the Place du Trocadero, renowned for its elegant cafes, which leads on to the Avenue du President Wilson with a greater concentration of museums than any other street in Paris.

Many of the private mansions are occupied by embassies or famous people.

The Musee du Louvre, which contains one of the most important art collections in the world, the most famous of which is the painting of the Mona Lisa, has a history extending back to medieval times.

It was first constructed as a fortress in 1190 and then replaced in the reign of Francois I who replaced it with a Renaissance style building.

Thereafter four centuries of French kings and emperors improved and enlarged it.

One of the most recent and talked about additions is a modern glass pyramid in the main courtyard.

Place de la Concorde, once the scene of the bloodiest episodes in the history of the city, ranks highly amongst the largest and most elegant squares in the world, offering superb views up the Champs-Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe and the ultra modern Grand Arch de la Defense.

The Tuileries Gardens also provide a peaceful haven en route to the Louvre Museum.
