it's all true.

Beautiful
"city of light"

Outstanding food; stylish Parisians; history; art; energy, architecture; the full musical spectrum from jazz to salsa;
a flaneur's paradise;
the Paris "vibe" - and cafe society at its best.

Paris has style.....

- Just a personal suggestion:
..... if possible when you go to Paris for the first time, learn enough polite French to get around, and .....

go by yourself

Apologies (for gushing) to anyone who actually lives within the Paris Peripherique and wakes up with her daily, warts & all...

All the great parks

One of my favorite things about Paris is it seems like
everywhere you turn there is a beautiful park.

Here's an article by Alan Riding about some of the Secret Gardens of Paris.

    The service was absolutely wonderful. The food was of great quality with the service & ambience even better. The crème Brule was so completely smooth, light, exquisitely flavoured with hints of vanilla and caramel.” Five stars from me!

    We go to Paris every two years for a long weekend and we always dine one night at Le Petit Prince. Terrific. Love their photos of their party when the staff all dressed up. Awesome food and ambiance. Formidable

    I'm visiting Paris again in a week and I must say your Paris page - especially "where to eat" - feels like it was written for me. Thanks!
