My country-bumpkin in-laws are going to Paris and want to be sure to have dinner in a restaurant with a great view of the city. OTHER THAN La Tour d'Argent (waaaay too expensive for them) does anyone know of a place?<BR><BR>Thanks!

The Jules Verne in the Eiffel Tower?<BR>A bateau mouche dinner cruise?

"Georges", sixth floor of the Pompidou Center (I think closed on Tuesdays).<BR>One of my favs. Not cheap, but not expensive like "Tour d'Argent" and alike. Awesome view.

Hello Heather,<BR><BR>Have them try "Le Toupary" on the fifth floor of the department store "La Samaritaine". Make sure they book a table by the window. It looks over the Seine, and you have a nice view of the Eiffel Tower and the beautiful dome at "les Invalids". <BR><BR>The food is average, but the view is great.<BR><BR>RJS

Georges is wonderful but probably way too expensive for your in-laws. I have always wanted to go to the Toupary Restaurant on the Tope of Samaritaine but haven't made it yet so don't know about the prices.<BR><BR>Anyone been there?

We had lunch in the Toupary May '01 and found it to be quite good for the price - $30 for two - including tax and tip [without wine, I think]. Reserve a view table, as it was pretty crowded at lunch on a weekday.
