Book a table online then go up until floor 64 or so (entrance from metro exit Bienvenue or Gare Montparnasse).
Breathtaking view of Paris from this luxury restaurant however you could just order one drink (around 7€) and request a table near the window, then just enjoy.
I prefer this than going up at Eiffel Tower, it's less cold / more cozy and specially no long queue if you booked for a precise hour

Beautiful and unique park in the middle of Saint Germain Island in Issy les Moulineaux. Come for jogging, picnic or just watch the ponies in the children area.
There's a west entrance by crossing the bridge in front of Les Moulineaux Mall (Tramway 2 Les Moulineaux Station), which is very nice during the evening even if not that touristy, and another from Boulogne's bridge right next to Canal Plus TV building (Tramway 2 Issy Val de Seine Station), and a hidden south one in the middle (access by Tramway 2 Jacques L'Hartigue station)
A dog dedicated area is available near the west entrance

Typical old style Parisien bakery in the old Moulin Rouge neighborhood on your way to Sacré Cœur's basilique funicular, with quite good pâtisserie creations. Some desserts are expensive and some other not much, I recommend to try cacao / orange / figue / walnut bread, croissants aux amandes.
