As you're about to embark on your trip to Paris, I have one more suggestion:

Try to spend at least one day pretending you are Parisian - buy some cheese in a local market, take a strole in one of the parks (weather permitting) or dodge the rain as you make your way to some out of the way cafe, where you talk about Art, Philosophy, and L'amour. Walk tall and proud and enjoy a late liesurly dinner that takes you to midnight and wake up the next morning with a strong coffee and crusty bread. Maybe even bum a cigarette...

Then come home and tell me all about it.
