As an American, I think we expect a certain level of cordiality when meeting people, Either in the workplace or just going down the street we pretty much feel offended if a smile is not given or returned. For many countries in Europe this is just not done and France is one of these. On my first trip to Paris I misunderstood this to be rudeness. Of all the people in Paris I’ve met on our three trips there, I can honestly say I only met one person who was truly rude. That’s probably not much different then in the US. On out last trip it was around midnight and we were having a big problem finding our hotel. A lady saw our distress, asked us what the problem was and proceeded to walk us to out hotel even though it was out of her way.

Very comprehensive tips on Paris. You know the history of the city very well. I thought the Sewer Museum was interesting though probably because I had just read Les Miserables which features a long escape scene through the Paris sewers. | codrutz Sat Jun 3, 2006 07:34 UTC
Great documented tips. What is the secret with your photos? Polarizer? Positive film? Or? :) Very curious.. | mapakettle Sun Apr 2, 2006 07:59 UTC
You have to learn to leave your furs at home. LOL. Great pages. Ma Kettle and I are going to Paris in June. Thanks for the advance peek. Pa | Marisola Tue Dec 27, 2005 00:42 UTC
