The Hardware Société Paris
A fair few people in Paris will say “brunch isn’t a real meal, it’s just a passing fad”. Even so, we LOVE brunch ! And here is the best place to start your day and try some Australian inspired treats (the two owners are both Aussies) such as lamingtons, anzac biscuits or pavlova. Be warned, come early and still expect to wait a short while for a table (if a full cafe all the time doesn’t tell you about the quality then I don’t know what else will !).

Find your team mates and your petanque balls, a picnic, some beers, the sun and meet here for a friendly match or three. Paris Info has all the best places for a game of petanque in other parts of the city.

Do you think that French vineyards can only be found outside of the capital, Paris ? Well we have news for you ! The small winery of the Clos Montmartre was born in 1933 and still exists to this day. It is even possible to buy wine made from these very grapes at the annual Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre held each year during the second weekend of October.
