Hard to get a table during peak hours, but if you are looking for great French cuisine....this is the spot. it is open quite late and tables are often available after 10pm quite regularly.

Spa
Great place to relax and unwind after a busy day exploring. We recommend going in the evening to see the city lit up. 8-10pm time slot for the water circuit, offers a discounted price and you will enjoy it without the crowds. We have been since Covid and where pleased with the cleanliness.
