Steak frites in a copper pan, Paul Bert, Paris

Bone marrow at Paul Bert — bread, red wine, the whole operation

Seine riverbank, Paris — afternoon light, people on the quai

Inside Paul Bert — tote bag, tiled floor, coat hooks, mirrors

Paris street scene — couple walking, French flag, Haussmann buildings

Haussmann buildings lit golden under a dark storm sky

Parisian rooftops at dusk — zinc, lit windows, blue hour

Bistrot Paul Bert

The neighbourhood itself — the eastern 11th, around Rue Paul Bert and Rue de la Roquette — is worth an hour before dinner. Less touristy than the Marais, more lived-in. It's the Paris that still exists for the people who actually live there.

Steak frites in the copper pan. A bottle of something red. That's the whole evening sorted.
