Sunset - Point de Neuilly

I love sunsets. At sea, its beautiful, but, over La Defence from pont de Neuilly is like a spiritual experience for me. I recommend this spectacular view to visitors to Paris. It is free!!!

Could you dream to have an Opera singer at your table ?
Yes, it is possible at Bel Canto.
Bel Canto is a chain restaurant (2 other locations in Paris) which provides excellent food + opera tune.
According to a common practice in USA but rare in Europe, the waiters and waitresses are true opera singers and they stop their service to make you discover Verdi, Mozart, Bizet or Rossini, not the tournedos but the musician).
Dress code : well dressed

Favorite Dish: Feuillete de legume avec son coulis de tomate
Cote de veau (veal rib)
Red fruits scramble.

Open from Tuesday to Saturday. Music only the evening since 8:30PM.
Full every evening. You must reserve.

Price : 60 euros per capita + wine (tax and service included)

The record can be bought for 20 euros.

Tourist Traps  

Bois de Boulogne at night

Bois de Boulogne

Its full of dirty acts. Which I refuse to express here. It is not advisable to remain in this neighbourhood once it is about 11pm.

Unique Suggestions: If you are for camping, you may have to move back to the hotel once it is getting dark. For adults, this might not be much of a problem, but for kids, it is better to avoid this place in the night.

Fun Alternatives: You can take a drive to Champs Elysee which is about 5-10 minutes drive from here.

There is this little park with beautiful water fountains at the pont de Neuilly metro station. It is a typical lovers nest in the evenings. The scenery is just breathtaken.
