There's a secret sundowner spot up above Paris in up-and-comer, Belleville, where Parisiens watch the sun go down behind the Eiffel Tower, from a safe distance.
Sit outside on the terrace at the dive-y fun bar near the park and try to grab the attention of the lone, harrowed waitress; duck into the little bakery across the road for snacks; or perch in the pretty little park just before sunset.
Everyone in the area stops to watch the light fade over Paris, there's something of a quiet awe in the air. Be here to see it for yourself.
