  • There was a popular saying...'three things are cheap in Paris..bread...wine..and the Metro'. Well times have changed...Paris is an expensive city and makes no apologies about it.However...it is also culturally correct to hit the small boulangeries to pick up bread , cheese, wine etc...a picnic is not only acceptable and easy on the pocket book...its also is 'tres romantique..n'est pas?'

     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! :)

     Did you really climb up the Mont Ventoux? I am impressed!! I am a big fan of the Tour de France as well. Jeannette
