"A lavish £12 million has been spent on the redevelopment of the People's History Museum on the Left Bank.

Similar in style to the Town Hall, this is another example of neo-Gothic architecture that is revered worldwide."

"Twenty Ten is another bar that does food too, including brunch!. They also have regular live music at weekends so another great spot for atmosphere and to listen to some local bands. This is by no means an exhaustive list, there are more spots for food, drinks and nibbles."

"This stirring Jacobean Revival country house owes its current appearance to the Victorian architect Edward Blore, who also worked on Buckingham Palace and St James’s Palace. His remodelled facade is from the 1830s, though the house dates back more than a century before. Capesthorne Hall is now primarily a wedding venue, but does receive visitors on Sundays and Mondays during spring and summer."
