There is a great documentary on Ovation, the channel that we don't get but can access through Comcast On Demand: http://ovationtv.com/programs/151-paris.
It is a 3 part show hosted by a beautiful and very knowledgeable art historian and curator Sandrine Voillet. I thought it would be a great overview for anyone traveling to Paris for the first time (or not).

Here is one more link:http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pre..._voillet.shtml.

I seem to remember it was!

It's also available on DVD from Amazon.

I've seen this series, it was lovely.
