The city's biggest lake, ringed by a relaxed, leafy district of waterside cafés, restaurants, boutique hotels and a big expat community. Calm, breezy and a world away from the Old Quarter's crush, though a taxi ride from the main sights; the place to stay for space, sunsets over the water and a slower pace.
