Rue du Cherche-Midi
In 17th-century French
slang, a
cherche midi
was an unexpected
guest who showed up
at lunchtime with
a lean and hungry look.
Today, the street is
filled with such guests
and many head to Midi
Vins for a traditional
French feast for €28,
accompanied by wines
from select French
domaines.

At Marie Thé, a tiny
terracotta-coloured
tearoom, a large slice of
Poilâne bread topped
with a hefty helping of
fresh tomatoes, melted
mozzarella and Italian
ham costs less than €11.
Show up early because
the room fills quickly.
