Musée National Jean-Jacques Henner
43 ave de Villiers Paris 75017 Métro: Malesherbes
Henner (1829-1905) was one of the most appreciated painters of his generation. The museum's mansion was bought by Marie Henner, the widow of Henner's nephew, and donated to the state to house the artist's work. Although Henner never lived here, he sometimes dined with the original proprietor, Guillaume Dubufe, a fellow society painter who would have shared the same lifestyle and eclectic taste. Closed Tues.Jean-Paul Hévin

Jean-Paul Hévin has been wowing chocophiles since he opened his first shop on the Ave de La Motte Picquet in 1988. Since then he's added two others, and at all of them you’ll find some of the city's finest chocolate—Hévin is a fanatic for the quality of his ingredients—transformed into some of the most imaginative shapes in town. The upper level of the rue Saint Honoré shop is a bar à chocolat, serving unusual chocolate treats at different times of day, including a chocolate cocktail.Musée Rodin
