see the Eiffel Tower. It may seem SO touristy but look at the structure and love the way it was built. The quiet streets of Montmartre, avoiding the most-obvious tourist route and passing Paris's last surviving vineyard! Just pure fun - and that is the way Paris should be in the widest of senses!

Some of the parking garages in Paris now provide free bicycle parking, like this one in the Rue de Rennes, near Gare Montparnasse.
Second photo: This underground parking garage near the Bastille also advertises free bicycle parking.

This year we were appalled to find that EVERY restaurant and bar we went to in Paris served ALL their red wine cold, like from the refrigerator. When we refused to order it a couple of them said it was not from the refrigerator, only from the cellar. Some very good, popular restaurants didn't even offer the customer a choice of cold or room temperature. We were happy to see that this 'in' thing was confined to Paris.

A Paris View from UNESCO
by Toshioohsako
I visited UNESCO for a short work in October 2008. These pictures were taken from the terrace of UNSECO's restaurant on the 7th floor. It is not so high but I thought it might be interesting to see for some VT members.
