A church and a restaurant! Ensure you scroll down to see both!


Saint Sulpice (of the Da Vinci Code)

With vast renovated to be towers the Saint-Sulpice is just huge. St Sulpice popularity has been increased by the fictional tale in the best selling book the Da Vinci Code.

The main internal attractions of St-Sulpice are the Delacroix frescoes in the Chapelle des Anges (Chapel of the Angels), Servandoni's rococo Chapelle de la Madone (Chapel of the Madonna) and the Pigalle statue of the Virgin.

The beautiful fountain in front of the church is the Fountain of the Four Cardinal Points. It is really nice.

Foquets Cafe & Restaurant

Known to be the most elegant cafe in Paris, Foquet's is located along the equally famous Champs Elysees and is a great place for people-watching. This is definitely on the see-and-be-seen arena. Fouquet's was founded in 1901 and has been collecting anecdotes since then. 

This is known to be a celebrity favorite and has attracted Chaplin, Chevalier, Dietrich, Churchill, Roosevelt, and Jackie Onassis (their photos line the walls inside the cafe). After the Ceasars (French Oscars)  each year, the celbreties come here for a party celebrating the event. All the media is here and the street is lined with spectators wanting to see the stars.

The premier cafe on the Champs-Elysées sits behind a barricade of potted flowers at the edge of the sidewalk.  Although this is a full-fledged restaurant, with a regal dining room on the second floor, most guests come by just for a glass of wine, coffee, or sandwich
