Hey Jealousy....

Sounds like you two will have an amazing time!

Next year will have the fun trips! Next year!

OOOOH! I remembered the market at Les Halles that has not only vegetables and flowers but Animals/Pets. Personally, I was fascinated by the odd chickens, the chipmunks, the song birds, and other finery for sale at the market. Check the guide books, it happens either one or two days a week.

Oooh, thanks for that, I LOVE markets like that.

Ummm, are you sure those were pets at the market?

And don't forget while in France, the TGV can really help you bust a move if you want to see more of the country. I beleive you can get some good discounts if you buy before you leave.

I'm way, way excited. I have only a short list of "must sees", and the rest is up to my more-traveled husband. All these ideas and tips are wonderfully helpful. We'll be over at the NA/€ homestead to steal all of your guidebooks really soon.

Life is good.

Weren't you just there?

Actually, finding the items on your list would be a fun challenge.

Okay, one definite possibility...

My first thought was that at 4-5 hours, it seems like a huge chunk of the day to spend just zipping by stuff not going in, especially with only 3 full days. BUT, we'll be arriving in Paris from the resort in the afternoon. I'm thinking doing the night tour that evening would be the perfect. It would get us familiar with the city and be a great way to start the mental list of things we want to go back and explore in depth. Mmmmm, 5 hours on a Segway.

Just be careful not to roll over any dog poop on hour one... would make for a stinky tour through the city of lights.

Cadaverous Pallor · 06-28-2005, 12:57 PM

Wait a minute, the evening tour was at 6:30, correct? So we'd be on them until 11:30pm? Hmmm.

Welcome to Paris. Dinner hour in Paris usually isn't until 9 or 10PM. It's not called the City of Lights for nothing, it's a late night town.
