Innovative lunch cuisine without the "innovative" price tag. Savory and sweet tarts served on a communal table in arguably the city's finest tart atelier.

While everything at this tiny bakery in the Third looks sumptuous, the lines of people are forming for the bread, and a slice of the tarte tropézienne (a French pastry creme stuffed between two layers of sinfully delicious puff pastry).

Paris' oldest covered market has been serving up some of the city's best food since the early 17th century, but the real draw for us was Alain's boulanger that serves some of Paris' best crepes.
