Paris: Monet and L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon
So I was in Paris a couple of weeks ago. Apart from some nice walking (see the Jardin des Tuileries below) and some museum visiting, I went to one of the nicest restaurants in Paris, which is L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon.
L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon, is apparently the 13th best restaurant in the world, better for instance than Alain Ducasse's in the Plaza Athenee, which is certainly more expensive.
One of the most surprising things when you enter is the disposition of the tables. Everyone is seated around the central block (where the kitchen is), in a bar-style way. The price you may expect to pay is around 100 euro, let the waiter recommend you (or get the Sole if they have it), and get a nice glass of wine.
By the way, I completely recommend (if you like Monet) - and I'm pretty sure you've already been to the Musée d'Orsay - to go to the Musée Marmottan Monet. It's quite a small museum in the 16th arrondisement (2, Rue Louis-Boilly), and a bit far from the usual museum places, but it's worth it (La Muette metro station is the nearest one, or 10 euro for a taxi from the Champs Elysées). They have one of the most important collections of Monet, including a series of Nymphéas.
