Stroll through the heart of the picturesque 9th arrondissement
Before or after your visit to À la Mère de Famille, stop by the Musée de la Vie Romantique, nestled at the end of a tree-lined avenue, or the legendary Musée Grévin. Stroll through the marvelous covered passages of Jouffroy, Verdeau, or Panoramas, where time seems to stand still between bookstores, curio shops, and cozy tea rooms.
