In making the Paris rounds we'll be in the area at Napoleon's Tomb and Musee de l'Armee until lunch time.<BR>Not looking for anything fancy, just a cafe or sandwich shop to grab lunch nearby.<BR>Thanks!<BR>

How close by? You've got the rue Cler nearby (and there's a thread that's discussing restos on rue Cler) with many choices; it's within 5-10 minutes walking time. Or were you looking for someplace where you could step out of the Musee, eat lunch, &amp; go right back?

Mary,<BR>I saw that post on Rue Cler, being in the 7th. I finally (after looking at several) found it on a map. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack!<BR>No, we don't plan to go back into the museum after that.<BR>We will be headed over to the 13th for Chinese New Year celebration. <BR>I know things will be crowded over there (13e) so I figured it'd be smart to get lunch beforehand -that way we can just snack over there if we want.

There is a cfeteria in the mus&eacute;e de l’Arm&eacute;e.

If the weather is good, go to a shop and get something to take away and carry it over to the Rodin Museum and eat in the garden. It is peaceful and lovely, almost better than inside the actual museum.<BR>

Quinty, in doing a little more research (and borrowing heavily from Bob Bauman's restaurant file - thanks, Bob!) I found these 2 that are practically out the front door: <BR>d'Chez Eux, 2 av. de Lowendale (http://www.chezeux.com/english/index.asp)<BR>and<BR>Le Maupertu, 94 bd. de La Tour-Maubourg.<BR><BR>These are within a 5-10 minute walk:<BR>Maison Rollet-Pradier, 6 rue de Bourgogne<BR>Caf&eacute; du Marche(duck highly recommended), 6 r due Champs de Mars (plus the crepe stand nearby!!)<BR>Leo le Lion, 23 r Duvivier<BR>Les Olivades, 41 av. Segur<BR>Petrossian, 18 Bld La Tour Maubourg (http://www.petrossian.fr/)

Oh, and Quinty, a really great planning tool is the website for the French Yellow Pages, Les Pages Jaunes: http://www.pagesjaunes.fr/pj.cgi?lang=en<BR><BR>Shows maps &amp; photos of places - pretty darn cool.<BR><BR>Hi, Scarlett!

<BR>Hi Mary <BR> Quinty, we had dinner at Chez Eux and loved it! They wait on you hand and foot, such great service and the food is wonderful. I think it is reasonable in price also.

Quinty

Thanks for the tips you guys.<BR>I am hungry now, thinking about all that food!<BR>MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm

You're welcome, Quinty! Have a FABOO time in Paris. : )

Quinty, there's a great cafe on Rue La Tour Maurbourg where they serve great omelettes and it's really reasonable. We walked there twice in October.<BR><BR>If you're facing the Invalides (with a little park behind you amid the busy street), turn right and proceed to the corner. There's a very chic restaurant on the corner--kitty-corner from the Invalides--that I can't think of the name of. Walk one block further and the Cafe La Tour Maurbourg is on the next corner. Just a block from the tomb, really and across the street from the metro stop. I'm thinking the intersection is Grenelle?
