    Palais des Rois de Majorque

    Enter the Palais des Rois de Majorque. Arriving at opening time lets you explore the three courtyards and lush gardens in relative quiet before the day’s visitors fill the ramparts.

    Ô liban

    Walk nine minutes to Ô liban for lunch. The meze selections offer a relaxed break with vegetarian choices, fitting perfectly into the midday pause.

    Square Bir Hakeim
