Paris has it all. Romance, great food, beautiful people and magnificent architecture."
"C'est formidable!" Le temps passe, passe le bien

why paris is so special......
Paris has always intrigued me. When you ask people where they wanna go...Paris is always always on the top of their list. Paris has a certain Magic.
Just hearing the word Paris makes me feel so good,,,, all sorts of emotions, feelings and adventure rush to me.
so i told myself by hook or by crook i must see it.
and it happened in June 2000.
Paris is a place to find your silent voice. Paris is magic. You'll see . . .
Street Performances Everywhere
by dixonchan
There are untapped talents out there! Streets performances can be found everywhere. Outside Centre Pompidou(see pic), at the top of Sacre Coeur, in the trains and train station.
If you are impressed by them, do give them some rewards. There's this performance by 3 tibetians with amazing chanting voices. I was captivated by their performance.
From 7e to 4e: A metro ride through history
by shrimp56
History is in every arrondissement in Paris, but only on metro line 8 can you travel between the French Revolution and Napoleon's tomb in one easy swoop!
.
You will find the monument in Place Bastille at the Bastille station and Invalides at La Tour Maubourg station.
police: "ID PLEASE"
by nygaston
Police may check your id everywhere in street, subwayt, etc...mostly if you don't look smart or nice and gentle...
But if you need some help call police : 17
Le PLAN VIGI-PIRATE means lot of policemen and military people walking and checking...
Packing List
by Ricardo_J_M
Travel light. Large bags are a pain when you arrive and decide to take the metro to your hotel. We went in winter and froze our butts off. Then again we are from Texas so it doesn't have to drop to low for us to be cold. My wife teaches cosmetology....Hair is important to her so if you must bring rollers and curling irons and other such things make sure you have a converter. Same thing as toiletries...if you need to plug anything up bring a converter.
