Do
Buttes-Chaumont. ue Botzaris Paris, 75019. Popular city escape for nature lovers and walkers who can spend hours wandering around this lush green paradise. Biggest, most hilly and least touristy park in Paris, here you still find a real Parisian atmosphere, far from the meddling international crowds of the city's center. Climb on tip of the hill and overlook the north of Paris with the Montmartre hill right in front of you. The park has an almost enchanted feel, with its waterfall, from a natural spring deep underground, stream, lake and it's steep cliff, topped with a 'temple' which can only be reached via a suspension bridge. A true oasis.

Eat
Au Boeuf Couronne. 88 av. Jean-Juares, 19e, Paris, 75019. 1-42-39-44-44. Charming and laidback, this restaurant serves quality food alongside a somewhat old fashioned decore, (think hard leather chairs etc). All portions were incredibly generous and the service was friendly and warm.
Cafe de la Musique. 13 av. Jean-Jaures, 19e, Paris. 1-48-03-15-91. Its varied selection of music is what draws the crowds here en massse, at any given night you're likely to hear soluful jazz tunes, or a hip DJ spinning robotic techno. Under chef Alain Podou's watch, the food here is sophisticated, yet light, think lobster-studded risotto and brochettes of shrimp with spinach. Highly recommended.
Drink
