    Getting TO/AROUND: It may seem daunting but memorizing it is as easy as memorizing any major city's metro or subway system. It's not really about memorizing it really, just knowing how to quickly and efficiently read the maps and make sure you're going in the correct direction and switching lines at the right places. You can buy, last I checked, what is called a carnet of metro tickets 10 for the price of nine or something like this, so it's cheaper each day to just buy however many carnet you think you'll need, and I don't think they expire or anything like that.

     What wonderful insights about Paris. Love seeing your progression via different trips. Enjoyed the travelogues as well as the helpful, interesting tips and dynamic photos, especially of some of the art, up close.    		BeatChick Sat Sep 16, 2006 13:39 UTC
     Ahhh, Paree! I got a pic of Rodin's signature, too, but from one of the statues outdoors - great minds, as they say. ;)
