We, too, are first timers from California. I've picked up some great cafe/bistro recommendations - do you have any ideas? We'll be in Brussels on the 13th, but have not made any other firm plans, so we're pretty open.

To KNOBLE and PUMPKIN. I just have to know what part of CA are you from?
We are close to the San Francisco area,
called the East Bay. We are flying out of San Francisco airport on the 9th and arrive on the 10th. Where are you all staying in Paris. Which districts?
What are you MUST-DO's? while there? Ours is the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre,
A Seine river boat trip and a day trip to Mont Saint Michel. Let's try to meet one day while we are all in the same place at the same time. It will be lots of fun.

Hi TRAVLING! We're from Folsom, just outside Sacramento, on the way to Lake Tahoe. I have so many must-sees: your first three (we opted for Brussels and Versailles rather than Mont St. Michel, which will have to wait until next time), Musee d'Orsay, Musee Carnavalet (history of the City of Paris), Sacre Couer (we're both Amelie fans), Puces de Paris-Saint Ouen (Clingancourt flea market), Place des Vosges, and lots of cafe sitting in between. We're staying in the 9th, which I'm not wild about, but we're close to the Metro, so I think we'll be fine. One of the eateries that is a must for me is Angelina's -- they do afternoon tea, are supposed to have the best hot chocolate in the world, and are close to the Louvre. We have less than a month to wait!

Dear KNOBLE: Small world, isn't it?
We live in Antioch, you've probably heard of it? My daughter also wants to do the flea markets and I've read so much about ANGELINA'S that it is also a must! It seems we will be on the same paths while in Paris. Perhaps we will bump into each other and say Hello.
Have a lovely trip! Susan

Angelinas is at 226 Rue de Rivoli on the right bank. A great website is www.pagesjaunes.fr/ This is the yellow pages. You can look up addresses & even see photos of the building you're looking for. There's also a link to a restaurant guide where you can choose by budget, location etc. Hope you all have a wonderful time.

In addition to the wonderful hot chocolate at Angelina, try their Mont Blanc, a heavenly confection of meringue, chestnut puree, and whipped cream! As you may know, Angelina used to be called Rumplemayer's, and more than one black and white movie scene has been filmed there!

Yes, Mary C, I am Sue; funny (but not surprising!) I should be recognized for my love affair with Le Mont Blanc!
It's also interesting how we're piecing together "who was who" on the unregistered site! Nice to hear from you!

Hello Lee 2313, Susan, Pumpkin, and anyone else who is still braving a trip to Paris with a kid, how about meeting up on Saturday, April 12 at 7:30PM for dinner at Le Polidor, a 150-year-old bistro at 41 rue Monsieur-le-Prince, near the Odeon Metro in St-Germain-des-Pres? Having never been, I'm surely open to any other ideas. Lee, where are you from?

To KNOBLE, PUMPKIN and all who will be in PARIS next week. We will try to meet up with you at 7:30Pm at LE POLIDOR. We are taking a bus tour to MONT ST MICHELE leaving Saturday at 6:45am and hope to be back in town for dinner. It's the only day we can fit the trip into our plans. We are so excited about the trip and can't wait.
By the way, we are from the San Francisco Bay area. Flying out of SFO on AIRFRANCE 4/9th. Hoping for no flight cancellations or interruptions due to the war. Have a great trip!

Well, I suppose I should have mentioned this earlier but I plan to be at Angelina's Monday, April 14th at 2pm if anyone would like to join me!!
Knoble, I don't have any children with me this trip but would still love to meet up with you folks then. My itinerary is kinda set in stone, but if that doesn't work out maybe we could figure out something else.
And if it makes a difference, I was born in Oakland and lived there the 1st 7 years of my life!! ; )

Hi Everyone,
We will be in Paris from the 12th to the 16th with our 12 and 16 year-old daughters. Beatchik, I think we have Angelina's on our schedule on Monday as well. It is our first European trip and we are very excited. We are from just outside of Philadelphia.
