Around the Eiffel Tower, you will find the green Champ-de-Mars, where you can do endless people-watching over a picnic.
Here, on the one hand, you are in the middle of the tourist heart of the city and, at the same time, much of the district is remarkably quiet. The tourist heart is around the Eiffel Tower. This absolute highlight is not to be missed on a first visit to Paris. If you sink a little further south into the district, you'll find yourself in Grenelle. In this quieter part of the district, mostly Parisians live and work. This way, close to the Eiffel Tower, you suddenly find yourself among the locals.
