Paris, it's a city you return to without hesitation.
My first trip was in 1971 when I joined a 3-day organized school trip.
Arriving during a metro strike gave me a good opportunity to see more than planned.
In 1979 I returned with my wife and ended up in the May 1 (Labor Day) demonstrations. Besides that we explored a lot.
In 2004 we combined business and leisure in mid-December and once more enjoyed the French capital.
In 2011 Paris was one of the destinations in ausirose's European round trip. We joined her at several Paris VT-meetings (see the T-logues).
Of course Paris is known by world famous attractions like the Notre Dame.
On each visit to Paris I went into the church and I never was disappointed.

Leuke foto's PJ. Sorry dat ik ze nu pas bekijk, maar ben meer op FB dan op VT de laatste tijd :)
Hi PJ, I enjoyed meeting you at the VT meetings in Paris in September. Since then you have added lots of great photos, tips and travelogues to your Paris page. Beaumarchais is one of my favorite authors, but somehow I never noticed his statue in Parc Saint Antoine. Nice idea to take photos of five different Boulevard de la Madeleine signs!
Fabulous PJ! :o) I am so greatful to meet you and your lovely wife :o) It was a pitty that it was so short. Next time we will have to make sure it is longer. Thank you for everything! Big hugs xx
