Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

Situated on the right bank of the River Seine, the 3rd is the smallest in area after the 2nd arrondissement. The arrondissement contains the northern, quieter part of the medieval district of Le Marais (while the 4th arrondissement contains Le Marais' more lively southern part, notably including the gay district of Paris). The oldest surviving private house of Paris, built in 1407, is to be found in the 3rd arrondissement, along the rue de Montmorency.
The 3rd Arrondissement is another lovely district of Paris. We went there and just walked around taking in the atmosphere. There are many types of shops, including restaurants, cafes, bars, boutiques, Galleries, museums and others. Worth a visit.

This majestic monument is the focal point of the square of the same name, a proud bronze statue of Marianne (the personification of France), stands atop the marble plinth, at the base there is twelve bas-reliefs depicting important moments of the Republic in the hundred years after the Revolution. Now-a-days, this is an important place for celebrations and rallies, (recently the train strike).

Visited late on the Sunday evening after watching the final stage of the Tour de France. Got off the Metro at Republique to find the Place de la Republique filled with different types of music coming from all corners. Intrigued, I wandered around and found there were people dancing appropriately to the different musical styles - not just any kind of dancing, but dances like the Tango, with large numbers of people dancing with unknown partners, changing partners with each song and simply enjoying the dancing and music for its own sake. This wasn't a pick-up place, people had come to dance. Some were clearly very good dancers, but that didn't seem to matter. I stayed a long time, watching the pleasure people were getting from the music and dancing was beautifully hypnotic in some way, so I was sad when I had to tear myself away at around 1am. I was only in Paris for the one night this time, but in chatting to a couple of Parisians I met I was told this was a regular thing. I even got asked if I could dance...
