    Getting TO/AROUND: The PARIS METRO is speed, efficiency and style in motion. While the stations are not the museum-like
    quality of Moscow or St Petersberg...it comes close...
    get to know it, many guidebook directions will include a notation regarding 'the closest stop'...learning the metro will make life easier..

    Getting TO/AROUND: GET ACCLAIMATED..Paris is divided up into arrondissments or districts...if you look at this map arrondissment 1 is in the center and if you think of it as a corkscrew going clockwise in numerical order...then you have a handle on the basic Paris 'floorplan'. This will make referencing the guidebook and rectifying it on the map easier when the subject od ARRONDISSMENTS comes up...it WILL come up often.

     With the TDF coming up I again was thinking about you, and yes, the J.Ulrich-case & Co. is such a shame if true. Thank you for greeting me. Maria

     Thanks for the comments & ratings on my Paris page! Yours is pretty good too. For myself, though, the Alps are a little too far off the beaten path do see while in Paris! :)
