Père Lachaise Cemetery: really beautiful to walk through and full of windy paths! plus there’s a lot of legends buried there (oscar wilde, edith piaf, chopin, jim morrison, to name a few)

Caroline · Answer

la grand epicerie + jardins du luxembourg: stroll through the excellent food hall of La Grand Epicerie (adjacent to an incredible shopping mall) and pick up raspberries, cheese, a mustard or chutney, a bar of chocolate, and a small bottle of champagne. walk ~10 mins to the Luxembourg Gardens and stop at Poilane on the way for bread. (of course you can get bread anywhere but Poilane is excellent.) picnic!
