Don't let the fact that obama ate there steer you off. It's not a high end establishment fit for heads of state. A pretty perfect representation of a French bistro on a nice quiet street just
OfF the Champ du mars. The
Fountaine in the name refers to the fountain where napoleon watered his horses while his troops trained on the green. Very cool
Place. The night I ate there I sat next to Wes Anderson and his wife along with Tilda swinton.

Also there is a very cool place in the marais. It's
In an old
Orphanage, Le Marche fed Enfants Rouge that has
Been turned
Into a kind of European food court. Chex Alain Miam miam which is
Kind
Of a
Parisian street food vendor who makes these amazing sandwiches that you can take into a nearby park and have a picnic. The guy is kind
Of a character as well. I really liked it if
Got no other reason than it's in a cool neighborhood off the beaten track. I think jay might have been close to there
