Square de Batignolles -- Paris, France
I hope I have the name correct -- that's what I call this place. It's in the 17th arondissement, and the neighborhood is known as Batignolles. The Olympic Village would have been based here had we won instead of London this year, so a huge amount of change and construction began and some is still ongoing, such as covering the railroad tracks, which run to and from the Saint-Lazare station. If they do do that, I'll kind of miss the open tracks. I suppose they're a little noisy and some might say they're an eyesore, but I like them -- they're dramatic, and there's plenty of open sky around here. I find it all very pleasing somehow. On either side and throughout this area, there are enormous old apartment buildings, many from the 1880s. I have no idea what any of them are like inside, but the windows are large, some have skylights, there are balconies, very pretty decorative motifs, and some of the apartments have these covered balconies which look great and must have been little solariums or orangéries -- and they're still nice features. We just saw the 1939 movie LE BETE HUMAIN, based on a book by Zola, starring Jean Gabin and Simone Simon, and it's a gritty tale of railway workers -- the Gabin character is from Batignolles.
This area may have become rather grungy and utilitarian in the past -- I don't know -- but over the past couple of decades, it's certainly quite a nice area, and we never see tourists here, which is a shame, as this is in Paris proper and there are plenty of public transportation options to get here and enjoy some Parisian authenticity. There's a very pretty little park with a pond, water fowl, giant carp, lovely flora, a calm family atmosphere, and at least one very good, large sculpture (the one in the pond is of some buzzards, and that may sound strange, but it's really fantastic!).
Many hotels, large and small, are already here, and more are being built. I spotted a new, very innovative-looking apartment building with solar panels, and though much of Paris is closed on Sundays (except for, um, well, tourist traps, essentially), this nabe has some shops open and some restaurants which look quite good -- and not too expensive. It's calm, authentic, and ... romantic, really. We'd live here! (I doubt we could AFFORD that, but in theory, we would.)
Sundays are special in France, and Paris is no exception. Nobody does Church like the French! I always say, so do try to get to a Mass on Sunday morning if you can -- they are usually at 10 am here. Sunday lunches are long get-togethers with family and friends, so if you're visiting, you might feel a bit lonely (if you hire me, I can take you to Mass at the Basilica, shopping in Le Marché de Saint-Denis, and give you lunch in my home -- no promises, but it's theoretically possible). By all means, try to connect with a local and try to get invited! Take fresh flowers -- nothing else -- French etiquette. If you're here as a tourist, do your shopping on Saturday. You could do a picnic on Sunday with the stuff you bought! Bread, cheese, wine, mustard, mineral water, fruit, chocolate, sausage -- don't forget the corkscrew! After lunch, which can easily take two or three hours at home, people either take a siesta (there's usually alcohol and of course, fine pastry for dessert, several courses and all the fat, calories and naughty stuff you could imagine, usually) or go for a stroll. Plenty of parks and green spaces to choose from. If the weather's bad, remember, the City of Paris has many museums all over and they're seldom crowded and are always free! I can guide you. Either personally, or prepare a customized itinerary for you. Yes, I do charge, but so far, no complaints.
Sunday dinners are light, and people usually go to bed early, as despite what you might think, the work ethic is strong here, and Monday must be faced.

Square de Batignolles
Haussmann replanned the City of Paris in the 19th century. It wasn't all good, actually, but it's what we have today. He designed this little park in the 17th arrondissement. It's near the train tracks to the Gare St. Lazare but this quartier, known as Batignolles, despite being ripped up by a planned Olympic Village which never came to pass, is still charming and village-y in feeling. With no famous tourist attractions to speak of, it's a part of Paris regrettably generally overlooked by visitors to the city.
The vulture statue I was joking about was done in 1930 and the sculptor was famous for doing animals. It's kind of odd seeing these buzzards in a pond with carp, geese, ducks and sometimes black swans, but whatever. There's a tiny playground, a ride (closed), a snack chalet with tables (yes, you do pay more to sit down there but it's nice anyway), an orangerie (closed, but with a live orange tree growing in there, someone seems to water it), a cute grotto and various plantings. I was surprised to see so many shops, cafés and restaurants open in the vicinity -- Paris is generally closed on Sundays. There are many new hotels in the area near what was to be the Olympic Village, so you might want to consider staying here if you choose to stay in Paris itself. It's less hectic. More real.
