Nice Walk to an English Pub/Eiffel Tower and Back

         One of the biggest challenges to newbie’s visiting Paris is finding a place to eat where you don’t have to stress out about the menu.  A nice 10 minute walk from our apartment will take you to Frog XVI at 110 Avenue Kleber.  It’s an English pub with traditional English pub food. 

        From our apartment (facing out), make a right and walk down to where avenue Pierre 1er de Serbie intersects with a big traffic circle with a statute of George Washington on a horse.  This is Place de Iena; note the location of the Metro station for future reference. 
        Walk around the traffic circle counter-clockwise.  The second street is Rue de Longchamp.  Walk up the hill until you reach Avenue Kleber.  (Far to the right you might be able to see the Arc de Triumph.)  Cross Avenue Kleber to the far side; turn left and proceed to No. 110.  Enjoy the pub.

        You can retrace your steps back to our apartment, or, if you are feeling ambitious, continue walking down Ave Kleber (away from Rue de Longchamp) and you will arrive at The Torcadero.  From there you can (1) proceed to the Eiffel Tower or (2) locate Ave President Wilson and walk (left) back to the George Washington statute and Ave Pierre 1er de Serbie or (3) take the Metro from the Toracdero station to the Iena station (by the George Washington statute).
        Have fun!
