My experiance was individal; On a momentd notice I boarded a plane and Traveled frome Eastern Canada to Western Europe. The flight was flawless......
Upon my arrival at Charles Degall Airport I was immedisrely overwelemed by the hospitality of the locals. A quick bus ride brought me to the downtown core, via the largest subway systeme I have ever seen, ( and I've seen a lot ). My first incounter of Paris was the Iffle Tower; Magnifisent my any strech of anyones emagineation. I immediately took the elevator to the uper most observation level and viewed what I considered lifes achivement instantly. For here I was at the top of the world in Europe. The place where history intrenched it self at the beging of time. An apsolute must see when in Europe. This is secound to none. a must see when in Europe. Over all I would have to say that the night live in Paris is really good, But ; there are many more interesting and plesing plases to visit in Central Europe. The Early wie hours of the mourning cafe's are very personal and hospitable. I was able to walk leasurely throught out the city any hour of the day or night and never have a fear. ( unlike other countries I have visited ).
Good background reading and entertaining too.

Almost French by Sarah Turnbull is a love story, but more the journey of a young Australian woman to become a part of France as she marries a Frenchman and moves to Paris. I found it entertaining and amusing and enjoyed seeing a bit inside French culture and family life and the difficulty of becoming a part of it. An amusing example is that her husband is appalled when she wears her sweat pants to pick up her morning baguette because it is not nice for the baker. Good insights and entertaining peek into French attitudes and social mores.
Crepes
by malianrob
There are all types of different Crepes in Paris. I was surprised though that they didnt make them with real fruit. For example strawberry crepes were made with strawberry jam. They were fairly inexpensive. We did though have some haagen daz crepes that were pricey but very good.
They sold crepes everywhere so they are not hard to find.
During the month of August

You dont have to pay to park your car in the street. Normally it would say Payant and you go to a machine and pay your euros and get a print out and display it on your dashboard.. but not during the month of august.. I am sure the inspectors are having holiday as welll.. Love this country for looking after its workers..
Tour de France
by emilybcn
I was extremely lucky to arrive in Paris the same day that the tour de France ended. I watched in awe as Lance Armstrong won his sixth tour de france it was a great day for all the Americans and Texans in attendance, I do have to admit that the rest of the crowd didn't quite appreciate him as much as we did. Still I as happy to be there and impressed by the spectacle of the tour de france which finished dramatically on the Champs d'ellyses.
