My first trip to Europe - what a thrill! | A typical Parisian bakery serving up sweets! |
Above you can see a picture of my favorite memory from my all-too-short trip to Paris: The Parisian Bakery! I felt very accomplished being able to walk into any bakery in a residential area and successfully order, "un pain de chocolat svp". Then just sitting in a scenic spot enjoying the tasty treat and watching the parisian world go by. |

| | The toilet of my nightmares... How could my Paris homepage be complete without a tribute to the 'Turkish Toilet'. (Interestingly enough, I heard that Turkish people deny it originated in their country). In any event, if you look at the photo to the right you will see a fine specimen of this glorified hole in the ground... complete with little footie pads! |

The "creepy" crypt you described is Georges Rodenbach, famos poet and writer. He wrote a famous book called Bruges La Mort. Did you notice the flower in his hand? Barry in Lafayette | counsel14 Mon Aug 24, 2009 01:26 UTC
Excellent tip. Don't let anyone bash you about it either! It was, after all, YOUR experience. | harley922 Wed Apr 15, 2009 00:18 UTC
Parisians don't like tourist skating with them. A friend of mine who is from Paris and now lives in America told me they like for tourist to pay for the membership, and that is it. It helps raise their much needed funds. | vinc_bilb Thu Aug 14, 2008 13:12 UTC
Nice pages and tips ... including your "toilet of my nightmares..." and roller experience (sorry...). Behind that, I appreciate your "not binary" view. Thanks! |
