[Cheap eats/inexpensive restaurants]

Thanks, Bux, for the advice and tips. Piere Herme looks like an easy walk from my hotel, so I'll probably go there more than once, and will report back my findings.

On this note, I forgot to ask if you have any favorite chocolate shops. That should surely be on my list of things to eat while in Paris!

[Cheap eats/inexpensive restaurants]

Thanks to all the excellent recommendations on this board, I've come up with a list of places I'd like to try on my 5-night stay in Paris. (With the dollar in the doldrums and a long trip planned to other European destinations, I'm trying to keep in a budget range for meals, perhaps eating one good meal a day and noshing the rest of the time.) Staying in the 6th. Help me pare it down, or tell me if there are MUSTS on the list. The only place I was planning on calling ahead from the US was La Regalade and L'Astrance, since most of the other places are not such "hot tables" -- does this seem reasonable? Do we need to call ahead for the other bistros?

Also, do you have a favorite Sunday market?

Thanks in advance!
