Le Printemps
One of Paris' most spectacular grands magasins (department stores), Le Printemps is actually three separate stores - de la Mode (women's fashion), de l'Homme (for men) and de la Beauté et Maison (for beauty and household goods) - offering a staggering display of perfume, cosmetics and accessories, as well as established and up-and-coming designer wear.

Champs-Élysées
Av des Champs-Élysées, whose name refers to the 'Elysian Fields' where happy souls dwelt after death according to Greek mythology, links Place de la Concorde with the Arc de Triomphe. The avenue has symbolised the style and joie de vivre of Paris since the mid-19th century and remains a popular tourist destination.

Café de la Danse
Located just a few metres down a small passage from 23 rue de Lappe, the 'Dance Cafe' is a large auditorium with 300 to 500 seats. An excellent venue for modern dance, it also plays host to rock and world music concerts, musical theatre and poetry readings.

Hôtel de Lutèce
An exquisite 23-room hotel and more country than city, the Lutèce has one of the most desirable locations in all of Paris. The public areas and rooms are tastefully decorated. The lobby's ancient fireplace all aglow in the cooler months and the wood panelling, terracotta tiles and antique furnishings, all combine to set the inviting tone of the place.

Open Café
This see-and-be-seen Marais institution is raining men, and is a primer for many a night out in gay Paree, but the vibe is social rather than cruisey.

Bistrot Latin

E Dehillerin
Spread over two floors and dating back to 1820, this shop carries an incredible selection of professional-quality matériel de cuisine (kitchenware). You're sure to find something you desperately need, like a coupe volaille (poultry scissors) or a turbotiére (turbot poacher).

Murano Urban Resort
We've visited, inspected and stayed in lots and lots of hotels in our day, but it's rare to come across anything quite like the Murano, a 52-room 'urban resort' south of Place de la République with a classical 19th-century exterior and a 21st-century inside.

Moulin Rouge
The most famous cabaret of all, immortalised in Toulouse-Lautrec's posters and later on screen by Baz Luhrmann, Moulin Rouge twinkles beneath a 1925 replica of its original red windmill. It's rife with bus tour crowds, but from the first bars of opening music to the last high kick, it's a whirl of fantastical costumes, sets and choreography; the experience is best soaked up with champagne.

Hôtel de Danemark
Hôtel de Danemark, a positively scrumptious boutique hotel southwest of the Jardin du Luxembourg, has 15 very tastefully furnished rooms and eclectic contemporary decor contrasting with ancient stone walls.

Georges
Encased in aluminium sheeting with modular arctic-white seats, the Pompidou Centre's hyper-industrial dining room has stunning views over Paris' rooftops, especially from its terrace. But a cautionary tale from a non-French-speaking friend: 'The menu's words don't necessarily mean anything - my main course translated to "the Crying Tiger". It was divine, but I still have absolutely no idea what it was.'

Hôtel Bonséjour Montmartre
The 'Good Stay' at the end of a quiet street in Montmartre is a perennial budget favourite and the husband and wife operating the hotel are always welcoming and helpful. It's a simple place to stay - no lift, linoleum or parquet floors, etc - but comfortable, very clean and - joy of joys - in the process of getting a much needed face-lift.

Bibliothèque Nationale de France
Just across the Seine from Bercy are the four glass towers of the controversial two billion euro National Library of France conceived by the late President François Mitterrand as a 'wonder of the modern world' and opened in 1998.

Hôtel Le Clos Médicis
Someone has gone and taken an 18th-century building and spun it into the 21st-century, with tasteful greys, blacks and burgundies in the 38 guestrooms. History is reflected in the lobby, with its antique furnishings, convivial bar and open fire in winter.

Chez Prune
The original Parisian boho hangout, this canal-side cafe has arty mosaic-tiled wrought iron tables, wood-framed glass doors with views over the bridges, an outdoor terrace and a lively, still earthy vibe. The perfect rendezvous for transforming an afternoon coffee into an evening drink.

Hôtel du Bourg Tibourg
This stunning boutique hotel is in the Hôtel Costes stable and was done up by designer Jacques Garcia, one of the most fashionable interior decorators in Paris. The result: romantic French neogothic combined with Orientalia.

Hôtel St-Germain des Prés
Situated just up from the cafes and hubbub of place St-Germain des Prés and south of the Seine, this 30-room hotel is a tastefully appointed choice and we especially love the suite with the baronial four-poster bed.

Arc de Triomphe
The Arc de Triomphe is the world's largest traffic roundabout and the meeting point of 12 avenues. Commissioned in 1806 by Napoleon to commemorate his imperial victories, it was not completed until 1836. From the viewing platform at the top (284 steps up), you can see the avenues - many named after illustrious generals - radiating toward every part of Paris.

Au Rocher de Cancale
Rue Montorgueil was the oyster market of the old halles, and this timber-lined restaurant opened in 1846 is its legacy. Virtually unchanged since the days of the markets, there's a choice of three plats du jour plus two chef's suggestions, alongside oysters from Cancale, Brittany's foremost oyster port. Everything here, including the wine, is great value.

Marché aux Fleurs
Since 1808, blooms have been sold at this flower market, making it the oldest market of any kind in Paris. This is Paris, so buy some roses and find someone to give them to. On Sunday it transforms into Marché aux Oiseaux, a twittering bird market, so if the flowers aren't enough buy your beloved a peacock.

Cafe Noir
An excellent, dependable bar on the edge of the Sentier garment district, the 'Black Cafe' is one of those bars you decide to make your regular. It's always packed, with a mix of both French and Anglo imbibers attracted by the friendly and very hip ambience.
