Discreet & Embassy-quiet
Tour Eiffel & Invalides
Discreet rive gauche — Orsay axis, rue Cler market, L'Arpège, Le Jules Verne, embassy quiet.
The 7e holds the Tour Eiffel, Invalides, the Musée d'Orsay, the Musée Rodin, and the rue Cler market street — the discreet rive gauche where the embassies sit and the gezgin books the room for the post-Orsay lunch. Quieter than the 6e, more residential than the 1er; the chapter takes the Le Jules Verne ascension dinner, the Arpège-grade tasting menu (Alain Passard's three Michelin since 1996 on rue de Varenne), the Bon Marché-orbit lunch, and the David Toutain neo-bistro reach on rue Surcouf.
