Paris information
 

Here is an article on Paris, in french I'm afraid, but it has some good information: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portail:Paris

That link did not come through, because a smiley face is being inserted where it should say "portail colon paris" with the punctuation mark and no spaces. How could I get rid of the smiley face?

sounds like a problem for the Fodors programmers - to drop the smileys for some grown-up references.

I don't think it's necessary to drop the smileys - just include some character in each one that can't appear in a URL.

HI Mom,

Instead of clicking the link, copy it and paste it on the address line of your browser.

Ira! It's fixed! All hail the gurus of Fodor's!

Thank you, Fodors internet wizards!
