For a digestif, join the assorted intellectuals crowding the classic zinc bar at La Belle Hortense (31, rue Vieille-du-temple), a cozy Old-World style wine bar.
Straight and gay, leather-bound and tweed-wrapped, thte crowd swirls wines by the glass and chats animatedly about highfalutin topics.
The place is also a bookstore, stacked with high with centuries of French and international literature. The back lounge, which has rotating art exhibitions, is the perfect spot to sip some hearty red wine and bone up on everything from Anouilh to Zola.

The oldest covered market in Paris, the Marché des Enfants Rouges was established in the early 1600s and remains a center of Marais life.
A new structure has replaced the original, but it still houses cheesemongers, vintners and grocers.
Better there’s a bounty of small restaurants that resembles a Benneton ad : Italian, Japanese, French, Afro-Caribbean, Middle-Eastern.
Enter the market at Rue Charlot.

The Centenary of the International Paris Air Show will be an unprecedented celebration for all air and space enthusiasts!
Every day will be a unique event featuring more than 3 hours of flying displays, every new product to emerge from the aerospace industry as well as historic aircraft .
Finally, the Patrouille de France aerobatics team will be putting on an outstanding display on Saturday 20 th and Sunday 21th June.My husband and a friend of him working at the Army visited it once, and when he came home he was very very enthousiastic. He was taking about planes the whole evening. It must have been something.
It’s a good idea to buy tickets in advance for faster entry.
Air-Show Le Bourget, From Châtelet, Gare du Nord, Charles de Gaulle airport, take the RER B, change at Le Bourget station
and take the RATP shuttle bus to the Show.
