Love on a budget in Paris

Read this from THE GUARDIAN - how to enjoy a romantic weekend in Paris without breaking the bank...

Highlights:

"Café Charbon, in Rue Oberkampf, is great for brunch in a belle époque setting" - this is on the same street as our hotel! Also read good things about Le Nouveau casino, a club/bar behind the CC...

"Or go for an afternoon stroll along the Promenade Plantée, an old railway viaduct now blooming with roses, lavender, cherry trees and maples, which carries a footpath through the Bastille area, 10 metres above street level."

Access along avenue Daumesnil, SE of Place de la Bastille. Or roughly south of our hotel.
