April should be a fantastic time to go there.

Museums are free on Sundays and the view from atop the arc de triomphe is killer at night.

cab costs fifty to eighty euro one way from the airport into the city proper and they don't take credit cards (at least ours did not.)You can catch a train for around twenty euro a person. We had four people and fifty thousand pounds of baggage -we nearly had to hire a freighter...

side walk cafes were great as were the little neighborhood bars

glad youlike the pics

Pics are always good.

Some descriptions of what we're looking at would help though. Some things are obvious, like the Eifel Tower. But there are other things that I have no clue about.

hey Boss,

okay skip the tower for the moment

these are pics from the place we stayed

4th floor walk up

it was pretty cool inside

had a half round plate steel wall in the kitchen that I forgot to take a picture of.

great little loft area with huge roof windows looking out over the street that I forgot to take a picture of

groovy full bath -all the hot water and pressure you didn't think you could get out of tankless- with well thought out storage and amenities that I forgot to take a picture of

Hub - we were in Paris in May and stayed at L'Hotel Lenox Montparnasse, very close to where you were (on la Rue Delambre). I think it was our absolute best trip to Paris ever.

Nice pics - we did the catacombs too, they think that there are > 6,000,000 bodies there

My daughter and I went on to Egypt after that ... will do a thread on that in the near future.

I loved Paris which came as a surprise because I am a small town, know everybody, USA kind of guy.

It is part of my hidden agenda to subvert the collective intelligence of breaktimers Ted. Soon you will feel compelled to make me your King and I will be as powerful as Oprah.

I promise to be a benevolent diety and hardly ever release a plague or pestilence upon the land. (kind of an old testament "lite" if you will.) And I will always take care of my people.

But everyone must buy in. Don't ruin this Ted...
