Is it just us, or does Paris feel a lot bigger than it actually is? Truth be told, one trip barely scratches the surface of what this cosmopolitan capital has to offer – seriously, the Champs-Élysées and Eiffel Tower are just a start. So if you're going to do your trip justice, you'll need a good plan of action, starting with where to stay of course. We suppose the real million Euro question is what neighbourhood is best. Our honest answer? It really depends on what you have a taste for – some neighbourhoods are better than others when it comes to restaurants, others for bars, exploring on-foot, nightlife, shopping, history and all the rest. Paris is divided into 12 districts, or as the French say, arrondissements, and here's the lowdown on where's best to stay to get in on the action. Whether you’re a Paris novice – like a certain red beret-touting marketer that goes by the name Emily – or walk the streets like they're your own, there's always a new neighbourhood to explore, places to hang, and restaurants to taste-test. Consider this your go-to guide to Paris, trust us, we are the experts after all. You'll be booking a return trip before you've finished this one. À bientôt!

Let’s get one thing out of the way first: Paris is huge. Your to-do list might be eight pages long.

The food in Paris is out of this world, but it sure as hell ain’t always cheap. The city has something like 120 Michelin-starred restaurants (putting it only second to having the highest number in the world), and if you grab a snack in the wrong spot you could be looking at accidentally spending more than €15 on a sandwich.  But hey, even in a bougie city like Paris, there’s always going to be something affordable hiding round the corner – you just have to know where to look. Lucky, the team at Time Out Paris know their stuff, and have spent years scouring the city for its best affordable snacks, testing everything from Israeli falafel to the perfect jambon-beurre. Here are the best cheap eats in Paris right now.  RECOMMENDED:🥘 The best restaurants in Paris🎨 The best things to do in Paris⛵ The best day trips from Paris🏡 The best Airbnbs in Paris This guide was written by Eleanor Aldridge, a writer based in Paris.

Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen

  • 18e arrondissement

Covering seven hectares, 3,000 traders and up to 180,000 visitors each weekend, the Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen is generally thought to be the biggest flea market in the world. If this conjures up images of a sprawling field filled with broken bed frames, faded curtains and sofas with the stuffing coming out, you're in for a surprise (and are better off going to the Montreuil version). The fleas left long ago, and since 1885 what started as a rag-and-bone shantytown outside the city limits has been organised into a series of enclosed villages, some entirely covered and others with open-air streets and covered boutiques for the antiques dealers. South of this sprawls the canvas-covered part where joss sticks, fake Converse trainers and cheap batteries are perused by crowds of teenagers - best avoided unless you're after that kind of thing.In recent years rents have shot up. The result is that much of the Puces is more like a museum than a flea market, and restaurants are swiftly replacing antiques dealers who can no longer make ends meet. But once you get under its skin, the Puces still offers an intoxicating blend of the sublime and the ridiculous. Repeat visits pay off and the more you banter with the sellers (preferably in French) the more bargains will reveal themselves, especially in the couple of streets that still sell unrestored objects.The main street is rue des Rosiers, and off this runs Marché Malassis (toys, vintage cameras and furniture), Marché Dauphine (furnitur

  • Things to do

Paris is the best, obviously. There’s no doubt about that.

The Faubourg Saint-Antoine area has been making waves on the food scene for quite a while: Rue de Cotte, Rue Trousseau, the Marché d’Aligre and lots of other little streets offer an excellent range of good things to eat, and since the Rue Charonne's latest makeover, the area is more than ever on the up. Graphic arts bookshops and trendy boutiques proliferate, so it’s no surprise to fine Bertrand Grébaut’s latest restaurat venture here. A former pupil at Penninghen design school, the décor reflects his background: huge mirrors, industrial installations, antique flooring and furniture, reinforced concrete and bare wood, all designed by Julien Cohen & Co.The cooking is direct, pure, and serious. Raw horse mackerel with yoghurt and red cabbage was superb, as invigorating as the velouté of eggs, mushrooms and chicken foie gras was comforting. Saint-Jean mackerel with sweet and padron peppers was perfectly cooked, Iberico ham and pumpkin was tender and delicious. Dessert was a lovely mixture of apples, fromage blanc, honey and thyme. It's all topped off with charming service and a lunch menu at €26 including a glass of wine (when we visited, Romorantin 2010 by Frantz Saumon or an Argentinean Malbec, Amalaya 2009). Evening menu at €55.

The following are 34 other things to do that’ll delight kids in Paris. Be warned: after a fun-packed weekend exploring the City of Light, you might struggle to get les enfants to leave.
