"La vie est belle avec toi, Paris" a Paris Travel Page by kcrismier

In June 2005, we returned to Paris for a second visit. We definitely fell in love with Paris this time. Whereas our first visit was characterized by running around on our whirlwind tour of Paris highlights, this time we slowed things down and savored the Parisian life. And you know what, it was definitely more enjoyable. I'm not saying that all the tourists destinations are not worthwhile -- they definitely are -- but if you have a few extra days, take the time to relax and enjoy la vie belle.

This Paris page will hopefully be a good guide for people who want to enjoy the city on a tight budget!

Speaking of enjoying the beautiful life...

We were sitting by the Seine enjoying our own ice creams when I saw the cutest little girl eating a chocolate ice cream on the stairs leading down to the river. She had chocolate all over her mouth, and her parents had her in a huge bib. I really liked the contrast between the "black and white" stairs and the girl in full color.
