shabbat in paris

We're going to Paris in winter and would like to arrange to stay in a Jewish neighborhood during shabbat.

A friend mentioned Belleville as an area in Paris with a big Jewish community but I don't know what that is like, or what else exists.

Can you point us towards any of the following?

1) a nice hotel for Friday night

2) a synagogue within walking distance (preferably Sephardic, and welcoming towards women too)

3) interesting places in the neighborhood to walk on shabbat afternoon (we also wouldn't mind prepaying museum tickets if there are any museums nearby)

4) Arranging a prebooked Friday night dinner and shabbat lunch in the area, preferably involving meat and couscous that we could eat sitting down in a local restaurant (or, if that doesn't work, takeout from a local charcuterie or the like).

Does anyone have any experience or ideas?
