Denise - As always, loved your TR. Please tell, is there a substantial difference in price between Paris and Neiman Marcus for the Creed scents ? I am not familar with Creed tho' I lived in Paris for many years. Adore Molinard which used to be carried by NM. I'll have to have a sniff of Creed when next there.

Denise, thankyou for your enriching report. I enjoyed every word even though I have not chimed in until now. I love your humor and enthusiastic writing style. Now I want to book my ticket today. You seem to do a lot for 'doing nothing'. I think Paris is meant to be enjoyed slowly.

Thanks so much....I was not as good at taking notes etc...on this trip but I always enjoy my time in Paris!
Bedar, I don't think there is a huge price differential on Creed between Neiman Marcus and Paris. One, it's just a little Paris tradition for us to go there and shop. They do tend to have fragrances that you can't get in the US and more options in sizes. They take good care of you and are generous with samples...they really know their fragrances.

Denisea, wow! I just read through this entire thread and was, as many have mentioned before, delighted by your TR! I'm leaving for Paris soon and when I read that you did the Paris by Mouth St Germain tour I did a fist pump because I booked one of those a few weeks ago!
This will be my first visit to Paris and so while my trip will include a few museums and many churches, I love your style of eating through Paris! I recently received a *ton* of great recommendations from Fodorites for food in the 14th that made me want to pitch my itinerary in favor for just eating my way through.
Thank you again and I'm looking forward to searching back through your archives for more entertainment and info!

That's great---enjoy Paris and you will definitely enjoy the St Germain tour.
Of course, you will want to see museums and other sites---there is so much to see and do and not getting it all done will give you a reason to go back. You can click on my name to find other T/R from previous trips where we "saw" more, if you are interested. Have a great time!

I've just read your entire TR. All I can say is fabulous, fabulous, fabulous. I want to get on a plane right now and retrace (almost) every step you took and (almost) every morsel you enjoyed. Thank you!

Totally! A few weeks ago I re-read my TR from Christmas 2013 and it was just pure fun to re-live that trip. We had such a great time. One of the best reasons to write a TR is that it becomes a time capsule for all those trips and experiences.
