I really liked the second picture! Wow, very nice.

It seems like a lifetime ago (15 years ago) that I lived there. Paris truely comes alive a night! That really captured the essence.

Again NICE JOB!

Thanks I really appreciate you doing this...the E. Towere was all I really recognized...and I have never been to Paris (or France for that matter)...have been over it on my way to Prague...but that is it....

Your english is better than my Asian or Czech Friends...so you are not hard to understand.....

I hope the weather held for you in Marseille. Love that city, it’s so laid back and mellow. Provencal cuisine is big on my list as well!

Now for a question completely off topic. We love Quebec City and the outlying area but I am thinking in the spring of splitting our time between there and Montreal. What are the must do’s in Montreal? What local spots should we not miss out on?

Great Pics...I too was in Paris on September 11th - my husband and I were there for 7 days. We spent one night in Chartres.

I love everything about Paris...except for the food...I mean it was good but not as tasty as good old Texas stuff.

Ok did you walk those 700 steps at the Eiffel Tower?
