Morning
It would be hard to imagine a better start to a day in Paris than going to the Palais de Chaillot and seeing the perfect view it has across the Seine to the Eiffel Tower . Then tour the fascinating collections of the Musée de l’Homme and, if marine history is your thing, the Musée de la Marine , both in the palace. Outside the palace, take a break in the Café du Trocadéro (8 pl du Trocadéro 01 44 05 37 00) and watch the comings and goings in the square.
Afterwards, head along rue Benjamin Franklin and rue Raynouard, where you will find first the Musée du Vin and the Maison de Balzac. Walk to the far side of the Maison de Radio France building for a brunch or lunch at Zebra Square .
Afternoon
Revived, walk back along the Seine towards the Palais de Chaillot, and head up to the place d’Iéna to the recently refurbished and much improved Musée National des Arts Asiatiques- Guimet for its spectacular Eastern artworks.
By now you will definitely be in need of a rest, so return to the place du Trocadéro for a coffee at the excellent Carette café at No. 4 (01 47 27 88 56). End the day in the peaceful Cimetière de Passy and admire its ornate tombs, before heading back to your hotel.
