I did have lamb and steak tartare, and they were delicious.
I also found it incredibly funny that there were lots of Five Guys and KFC.

Don’t be afraid to use the metro. It’s super easy to navigate once you get the hang of it. Google maps is your friend. Walking is great, but Paris is very spread out.
