Yeah, but as they say in Normandy (according to a guy I had in my cab from
Normandy) "Too bad it's wasted on the Parisians." (Haven't we heard that
same line about Ireland from the English? <g>)
About August in Paris: don't! It's hot and humid that time of year,
positively the worst weather I've ever experienced in Europe. A good half
of the shops are literally boarded up as anyone who can get out of town has
down so--and big surprise!
Otherwise it's a great place to be. So much beauty, and what an interesting
culture at its core. Need to speak some French, though, to get along.
Hardly anyone speaks English--or for that matter wants to, it seems.
