Morning
Tackle the Centre Georges Pompidou early, as the expansive modern art museum is worth a leisurely visit, and some of the excellent temporary exhibits may catch your eye. If you need refreshment after all that art, it has to be Georges, the brasserie at the top of the centre with good views and a choice of drinks, snacks or main meals.
On leaving the centre turn left to see the adjacent Stravinsky Fountain, then walk to the far end to visit the Eglise St-Merry.
Providing you have booked ahead, lunch at the 1912 bistro Benoit , whose lunchtime menu is far cheaper than in the evening. If you’re out by 3pm watch the clock on the Défenseur du Temps strike.
Afternoon
Pass the Fontaine des Innocents as you head for Les Halles, but first go into the church of St-Eustache which was the place of worship of the market workers at the old Les Halles. You could then spend the rest of the afternoon shopping at the vast, if somewhat unprepossessing Forum des Halles .
Stop for a drink at A La Tour de Montlhéry, more commonly known as Chez Denise (see Tour de Montlhéry, Chez Denise). It’s packed at mealtimes, but by late afternoon you might be lucky enough to get a seat and be ready to try their famous Gâteau Marguerite with strawberries and cream.
