also 
Cimeti?re de Montmartre with its many cats 


To keep it on topic Bld Beaumarchias is where the Leica store is BTW


OTT : watch gear, purse and ID on the metro/tube - always tightly nested on 
your belly, at any time.

Fortunately I have not had to go there since early 2001, and will never
have to go again. I have also been forced into the one in Orlando on many
occasions during the years we lived in Tampa.

Anyway, some of my "must do" things in Paris include:

- P?re Lachaise cemetery, with graves of greats like Jim Morrison and Chopin
- Jardins du Luxembourg for relaxing and people-watching
- getting lost in the Latin Quarter
- checking out the camera stores on Blvd. Beaumarchais (although you will
probably not buy anything)
- the Louvre; unlike many tourist attractions, it is NOT overrated
- the Japanese shops and restaurants near the Opera--fun to see in the
center of Paris
- the main Gallerie Lafayettes department store for sheer grandeur.

If you are interested, I also have a couple of really good vegetarian
restaurants, I have their cards somewhere and can give you the details if
you swing that way.

I am sure the French LUGgers will give you lots of useful tips.

Cheers,
Nathan
