Amélie Poulain
To enter her world o, walk along canal saint martin from rue du Faubourg du Temple. Then follow the canal de l'ourcq. You will arrive to la Vilette. Along this stroll, you can have a drink and a snack in very parisian style cafés and buy a few things in delightful shops. Enfin le dimanche et les jours fériés entre 10 et 18h et 10 (20h), la rue appartient aux piétons, rollers et vélos-quai de Valmy, entre les rues Louis Blanc et Lancry ; -quai de Jemmapes, entre les rues de la Grange aux Belles et Louis Blanc.

More than french, full of atmosphere, Bercy village. From 1880, Bercy was the “ cellar of the world “. Wines arrived by boat, to be discharged there and brought to the cellars now converted in boutiques dedicated to art de vivre, leisure facilities, bars and restaurants, full of charm with their vaulted ceilings, stone walls and large glass overtures. Walk in the cobbled lane free of cars.

To dream of the romantic, magic and so elegant 19th century Paris, visit galerie Vivienne. Vidocq, crook turned to police head and featured in "Les Misérables" lived there once. Enjoy tea at "à priori thé" and make purchases in a retro toy shop " si tu veux". Entrance 4 rue des petits champs or 5, rue de la Banque or 6, rue Vivienne (2ème).

Go one century back to the charming jardins du Palais-Royal. Walk in the mosaic paved arcades. In tiny and delicious shops, you will find collection toys, vintage jewels and clothes.
Watch the fountain and decide wether you appreciate or strongly dislike teh contrast between the mix of 20th century sculpture of Daniel Buren with the classicism of the 18th century building.

Then go to place Colette and have a look at the comédie française, Moliere's theater. You may buy very nice objects its shop.
