Paris in the spring.
I went to Paris in May of 1998 for SGML/XML Europe. This was my first trip to continental Europe and I quite enjoyed it. After the conference, Deb and I had a short vacation in Paris before I trundled off to see my folks in England. Above, a panoramic shot of Paris from the steps of Sacre Coeur.
-
Bring your cellphone. Oh, it won't work, but you'll feel so gauche if you're the only one without one.
-
Bring your rollerblades. Everyone else is on them.
-
Don't forget your ATM card. You're gonna need it.
-
Remember, there are some places where public displays of affection are frowned upon. Paris isn't one of them.
-
Bring your appetite. Morning, noon, and night, the food is delicious.

Cafe
One of a nearly endless series of cafes and bistros. Fantastic coffee. Great pastry. Expensive like you wouldn't believe.

Les Invalides
Notre Dame
The gargoyles at Notre Dame are really delightful. The front face was completely obscured by scaffolding. C'est la vie.

Comments:
You are truely an amazing photographer, I suggested this website to a lot of members of my family (lots of aspiring photographers). I've personally been to Nice, that was wonderful, I can only image what a city like Paris must be like to be in for a while.
