This is my 4th trip to Paris and I believe its the best trip I have had here. I have done less than normal because I was with my mom who is 88 - half blind - and can%26#39;t walk far or fast but it still was the best!
Highlights for me - the apt I stayed in at the corner of Rue Cler and Rue de Grenelle. Alot of posts on here about it being such a touristy area but I have to disagree - I saw mostly french with their dogs and shopping cars shopping! Not much English was heard either. So close to the metro and the Eiffel and Rodin ad Invalides - will def rent this place again if given the chance!
I LOVED the twinkling Eiffel at night - walking across the bridges at night and seeing the reflections of the lights on the water. I loved the cafe%26#39;s and the cafe cremes and the wine - I have to go back home so I can detox!
They have a way of doing stuff here that is so neat - nfrom the little packets of sugar to how they serve water and the non-rush when you are enjoying a meal - no hovering around you - I loved that!
I loved Place de la Concorde and the Tuilleries and the L%26#39;Orangerie. Sitting inside Notre Dame was perfect.
I am bringing home a few nicknacks to remind of my week here in Paris - it has definately left an impression that will not soon be forgotten.
Thanks for all your guidance before my trip - now I have to live vicariously thru the rest of you who are going!
Au Revoir!

I enjoyed reading your post. I am so excited to be going for a few days in July, and reading comments like that just makes me want to pack my bags now!

I%26#39;ve enjoyed reading your posts. I went for 10 days in April and am having serious withdrawals. This is why I read this forum daily.
So glad you had a great time. And I agree, few things are as magical as a twinkling Eiffel Tower.

fro4600 ~ What a nice trip for the two of you. I am taking my 84 year old Mother to Paris this Sept/Oct. She%26#39;ll turn 85 in Paris, so I must plan something special for that day. I can probably use some pointers from you!I will connect with you. Thanks for your post, it was lovely.
