Favorite Thing: The Mouffetard area is one of the nicest in Paris. Located in eastern part of the 5th arrondissement, it's principal street, Rue Muffetard, is one of the oldest in Paris, dating back to Roman times. Like many of my best places in Paris, most people discover Rue Mouffetard and the surrounding by accident. There is an excellent market at the southern end of the street on most mornings of the week, while there are plenty of pubs, cafes and good-value restaurants at the other end, near Place de la Contrescarpe. Many of the buildings date from the 18th century, when it was called Rue du Faubourg St. Marcel, while some of the shops still have their old painted signs.

Favorite Thing: The Palais du Luxembourg lies at the western end of the Jardin du Luxembourg. Maria De Medecis had this palace and the gardens built to remind her of home. As if Paris didn't have enough things worth seeing! Nowadays it's the home of the French Senate.

Fondest Memory: On my last trip to Paris, we saw a great exhibition on Alfred Hitchcock at the Pompidou Centre. I'm not sure if this was a temporary or permanent exhibition, but if it's still there I'd advise you to go - it's a lot more fun than the Louvre.

Excellent, tks Barry! Was looking for Viaduc des Arts in Paris but had forgotten the name... so I missed it. Should have checked here before the trip! :) | 11dana Mon May 18, 2009 19:42 UTC
nice red sand on your pic from Morocco | frenchlondon Wed Dec 12, 2007 00:27 UTC
Great pages. Your love for this city is obvious. We all have a very special we like to go back to every so often. I love the 'drunk' picture with 4 Eiffel towers in the back ground! | leecouk12324 Fri Aug 17, 2007 14:52 UTC
Great to see you can keep going back to the same City and finding different things to do - i did the same with Amsterdam - but last time also got away from City - went Beach - did some Sumo wrestling. Off the beaten track! |
