we will be in paris in october for 7 days with our 10 month old.
we are looking to rent an apartment, and i am wondering if you all could recommend:
a.) which area to stay? we are looking in th e1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th - basically we want to be in a good proximity to a variety of things. since we will be in the apartments for our son's naps and early bedtimes, we want to be close to bakeries and markets where we can grab food to take back to our apartment.
b.) what are (if any) good places to eat with a 10 month old? he is very well behaved, and will sit in a highcahir and eat what we eat. however, long, leisurely meals aren't really an option. we figure we'll eat out at lunch and get food and wine to have at our apartment at night once he goes to sleep.

we have both been to paris, but it's been a a while, and we haven't been since our son was born. we will more than likely stay away from most of the "tourist" stuff (we've already done most of it) and want to enjoy the city, eat great food and see some friends. ANY and all rec's would be more than welcome!! THANKS!
