That's where all the Europeans go right? I am a European, and have never been nor ever will get there !!!! But Alice used to have a yearly pass ... Montmartre is certainly worth a look when not crippled with tourists :-( Nice view on the city at night though. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/PAW-2010/2010-PAW-21-A+room+with+a+view+I-1000685.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/PAW-2010/2010-PAW-21-A+room+with+a+view+II-1000687.jpg.html The Louvres area. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/PAW-2010/2010-PAW-April+in+Paris-Louvres-1160103.jpg.html The banks of River La Seine - Ile de la Cit? including Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/PAW/PAW-23-Paris+Spring.jpg.html Le Marais too and Saint Germain des Pr?s All of them are postcard-ready ... The Eiffel tower - and Trocadero Square- offers views if you're patient enough to queue for an undetermined length of time I don't fancy the Champs Elys?es, at all, yet some do. If you're looking for more intimate views, I think canal Saint Martin should be fine. http://tinyurl.com/3smohla But what you might really enjoy as a novelty sic, is Le Chateau de Versailles - built circa 1700 and a well kept symbol of absolute monarchy- beautiful gardens, ? la Fran?aise. http://en.chateauversailles.fr/homepage For shopping, if a Mrs Williams is travelling with you, Alice's tip is: Le Printemps and Galeries Lafayette - located Boulevard Haussmann Contact me off list for details or further help or advice. My son lives next to the Eiffel tower and should be in Paris then, he might help in case of trouble.
