25 Afterwards join some friends in the Discothèque Les Planches (05) to celebrate the win with some rousing music. Les Planches I 40 Rue du Colisée, 75008 Paris I www.lesplanches-paris.com And then delve into the nightlife while thinking about work tomorrow and that Paris has definitely improved its position in the world’s list of most attractive metropolitan cities – currently number four and not without reason. Thierry Legrand has been head of personnel at STILL in France for four years. He originates from a Paris suburb, knows every single nook and cranny of the French capital and adores everything which is authentic, festive and off the beaten tourist track. His ideal Sunday in Paris takes him to all those places which he especially likes. Get ready and join him! There is no better way to start a day than with a brunch in the cosy atmosphere of the Tea Room Angelina (01), ordering a big breakfast and enjoying – so they say – the best hot chocolate in the world. Angelina I 226 Rue de Rivoli I www.angelina-paris.fr Leaving the Tea Room simply cross the Rue de Rivoli bringing us directly into the peace of the Jardin des Tuileries (01), surrounded by sculptures by Rodin and Giacometti. We move on to the Place de la Concorde. Walk down the Avenue des Champs-Elysées to the Place de l’Étoile and the Arc de Triomphe. A little peckish after that nice walk? It is definitely time to enter into the underground world of the Paris Metro, to travel to the 9th Arron- dissement and enjoy the offerings of the Brasserie Chartier (03) for a midday snack. This large, listed hall is definitely worth discovering. Just sit down at a table and give the interior time to do its work. Like the many drawers in which the serviettes of regular customers are stored or the painting by Germont, who painted it in 1929 to settle his restaurant bill. The service is fast, the atmosphere is always friendly. Bouillon Chartier I 7 Rue du Faubourg Montmartre, 75009 Paris I www.bouillon-chartier.com We now move on with a saunter up to Montmatre. It is best to take the steps rather than the funicular. After a brief sojourn in the sun, the best way to avoid the many tourists is the Metro to the Île de la Cité, and spend the afternoon strolling from Notre Dame Cathedral to the Conciergerie. By the evening you will be in the west of Paris. A scarf in the right colours is the perfect accessory to visit the Stadium Parc des Princes (04) to watch a game with Paris Saint Germain.
