Hello all,
I leave Monday for Paris. I am wondering what are your favorite places that one might not find front page of the tourist books? This is my second time and I am ready for some less touristy stuff. I am also interested in seeing a show if I can get anything last minute. Any ideas? Please grace me with your experience. Thanks.
Kelly

I'm thinking about Fat Tire Bike Tour's previously known as Mike's bike tour. Has anyone done this tour? I want to know if it physically intense ?

You might enjoy and not know of the shops in the viaduct on rue Daumesnil--near the Gare de Lyon. The passages in various parts of Paris are wonderful, particularly if you have a rainy day.
