At rest here are Oscar Wilde as well as Balzac, Chopin, heartless as this is in Poland, Marcel Marceau, Jim Morrison, Proust and Edith Piaf among many others.
2. Sights from films

Taking place principally in Monmartre you will have to keep your eyes peeled to recognize any of the scenery as digital enhancement helped to romanticize these almost mundane streets. Mtro Lamarck-Caulaincourt, the metro at which Amelie opens the blind mans mind to a sensory revelation is surreptitiously nestled in this district on rue Lamarck. The Caf des Deux Moulins, 15 rue Lepic at rue Cauchois is where Amelie was a waitress and day dreamed about most of her romantic ideas and actually exists. Jules et Jim, Moulin Rouge!, La Heine, Paris Je T'aime and thousands of others all used the famous sights dotted around the city.
3. Bois de Boulogne
Charmingly calming and unwaveringly romantic the Bois de Boulogne is the lazy heaven of Paris tourist attractions where the inhabitants go to breathe a slow, deep sigh of relief. After the rushing through the boulevards and underground tunnels experience utter peace by the lake or sit back on the grass in the wood which has survived years of Parisian expansion and advancement.

4. Markets
If finding a bargain will make or break your weekend then get yourself down to one of the great markets of Paris. Busy and lively or secretive and full of the a bounty load of goodies there is such a wide range the search pays off when you hone in on the one most tailored to your needs. Take the metro to the Latin Quarter for books, March aux Puces de la Porte de Vanves for a flea market fix or March aux Oiseaux for the opportunity to purchase any kind of caged animals you can dream of.
5. Cafs
Cafs with coffees, croque-monsieurs and cajoling locals, the charm of Paris is that there is a caf for every visitor and Parisian. It is impossible to find a street in Paris which lacks a charming venue with the smell of coffee luring customers in. The perfect respite and a brilliant excuse for sipping the finest coffee in Europe and as many baguettes as you can manage find your own hideaway, only to have to find it all over again the next day. Monmartre is both sedate and full of character and packed full of pastry shops.
