My recent film “Napoleon Slept Here” takes you all around France, beginning and ending in Paris, with Notre Dame Cathedral, the Pompidou Center, Eiffel Tower, Napoleon’s Tomb, Sainte-Chapelle’s stained glass & the City of Lights at night; plus Nimes with its Roman Arena and Temple, the walled city of Carcassonne, Lourdes, the Palace of Chenonceau, a peek at the Bayeux Tapestry, and much more. This is a free, non-commercial, streaming video on the Windows Media Player. No ads and no strings attached. I sell absolutely nothing. All you need is a high speed internet connection. My video site is: http://intrepidberkeleyexplorer.com/Video.html The gallery of French still pictures can be viewed with any modem at: http://intrepidberkeleyexplorer.com/Page16.html There are over 30 of my other amateur travel videos on-line. Visit Italy, England, Antarctica, Bali, Australia, China, Russia, Florida, Mayan Pyramids, Kenya, Hawaii, Greece, American National Parks, or Turkey; see elephants, whales, penguins, or polar bears. The planet is yours, including my Home Page giant galaxy of still pictures at: http://intrepidberkeleyexplorer.com/ The Intrepid Berkeley Explorer
That's probably the one country in Europe my wife wants to see. She's never been further "east" than Cape Canaveral.
Paris is amazing! Been twice, once a partying trip with "the boys" and the other with the wife after we were married (and living in Europe). If you do ever go, make sure you spend an entire day at the Louvre. We took a tour and only had a few hours. Just can't do it on such a small amount of time. Also Galeries Lafayette is a nice stop. The parfumerie reminded me of Wall Street... a lot of people walking around in smocks wanting you to try out their scents. Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elsyee, Eiffel Tower, the Seine. It is a trip to remember. The only thing that I didn't do was go to Jim Morrison's gravesite and party, which I really wanted to do.
