Topping for Mia. <BR><BR>... more stuff than you can do in one weekend though. ;o)

topping

qu'est-ce quec'est &quot;topping&quot; and &quot;ttt&quot;

Ira!<BR><BR>ttt = to the top<BR><BR>topping = when you add a new message to a thread -- even if you only write 'ttt' it goes to the to again.<BR>Useful with interesting threads.<BR><BR>This message is now going to the top again and will sink again, unless somebody else is adding something.

I know I'm jumping in late and I've lost track of the numbers, but I have to weigh in so I'll make it up:<BR><BR>146: Wander the pompidou and laugh out loud &quot;I AM A GOOD BOY!!!&quot; (don't know if that exhibit is still around, but the thought makes me smile.<BR><BR>147: Lay in the grass of the Champs du Mars with your shoes and socks off reading a book and drinking local wine out of the bottle.<BR><BR>Ahhhhhh the memories<BR><BR><BR><BR>

OH MY GOD! Sorry for the enthusiasm, but this is a great thread! I'm wasting time at work reading it! I'm headed to Paris for 5 days (my first time there), hopefully I'll be able to fit some of these wonderful things in!

Aim, you never waste time, when reading about Paris....<BR><BR>What about ice-skating in front of the Hotel de Ville right now?

Greatest impromptu entertainment in all my travels: a cafe across from where tourist buses unload...pure entertainment for free (minus the cost of the Diabolo Menthe) There happened to be a turkish-style public toilet (raised feet and just the hole) right there, and every so often a new, naive tourist in polyester pants would emerge sopping wet up to the ankles! It was hysterical.

Topping especially for Sallyanne...

Musee' Jacquemart - Andre'<BR><BR>158 Boulevard Haussmann<BR>75008 Paris<BR>www.misee-jacquemart-andre.com<BR><BR>A lovely museum that you can spend minutes or hours in. The pictures are breathtaking.

Go into St. Suilpice church. Turn right to find two wonderful Delacroix murals! <BR>&quot;Important TIP*: When standing there between the paintings, look to your right &amp; over your shoulder for the box on the wall -- you will find a light switch, so you can see the paintings in all their glory (the church can be quite gloomy!)<BR>

Oh la la il faut qu'on fait des bizzes partout de Paris! I searched this incroyable string of messages for &quot;kiss&quot; and ONLY found a reference for &quot;kiss&quot; in the Tuileries! Ufff da! (Pardonez-moi for mixing the nationalities :-) Well let's add:<BR><BR>148: Kiss in the streets, preferably so passionately that the locals remark about your kissing! (kissing in public, in case you haven't experienced it, miam, is a cause celebre for Parisien/Parisiennes)<BR><BR>149: Kiss in cafe's, preferably with a great view, like Notre Dame as the sun sets<BR><BR>150: Kiss at the top of some tall object that has entered the realm of myth, like near the famous gargoyle at Notre Dame, at the top of La Tour Eiffel (hopefully not while being jostled by the incredible crowds, try late at night), or on the steps in front of Montmartre, or on Les Quais de la Seine.<BR><BR>151: Kiss anywhere and any time you feel like it. This is Paris! It is a wonderful city and 10 times more charming when you are there and you are in love.<BR><BR>Jim<BR>

topping<BR>this post is incredible!<BR>add more please!

152. Take a nap in the grass next to the eiffel tower.

153: pour moi, i loved having a pique-nique on the lawn of the Champs de Mars after the grass guards were gone. The view of la Tour Eiffel at night while sprawled out with une bouteille du vin rouge, c'est incroyable!!

Topping for Lisa!

Beatchick,<BR><BR>Thanks for topping this again!<BR><BR>Visit a small, lesser known museum. <BR>Get a copy of the weekly what's on Pariscope and you'll know what I mean. Hundreds of museums around, we almost never talk about.<BR><BR>Beatchick, enjoy your Paris trip!

Wow! So many suggestions - and I've only got 3 days in Paris! Where to start?! :-)

<BR>If possible, meet a friend in Paris.<BR> It is a treat to share the time and the experience with someone you know and can share the memory with later:)<BR><BR>My husband and I met friends for dinner one night in Paris-we all walked back to our hotel after, talking and sharing stories about our stay. Now-a couple of years later, we still mention it to each other and try to plan future coinciding trips.

154 <BR><BR>Spend a couple of hours at the Pont Alexandre III (bridge)admiring it's spectacular beauty, see the Eiffel Tower from here and watch the tour boats going up and down the Seine. Especially nice at dusk.<BR><BR>Enjoy<BR>Larry J
