Bonjour



Welcome to The Beauty of Paris and France. I am the new manager. My late wife and I began traveling to Europe in1983 and have been to France in general and Paris in specific about 10 times. I love Paris, Terri loved the rest of France. Terri died in August 2007 after struggling with brain cancer. She was my co-pilot in life and my co-pilot when traveling...we drove from Germany to our hotel in Paris with her remarkable map skills...and we made it through the 12 lane Etoile round a bout and never got lost.

While I am in no way an expert, we traveled to many areas and I will be happy to answer questions, make suggestions and just write about the joys of France.

I will be returning in September to scatter some of Terri's ashes from the upper levels of the Eiffel Tower.

I will also post photos, menus and anything relative to Paris and France. I will begin working on a links file...I have way too many bookmarks and it will take a while, as I verify they are current, but all should be helpful if you are planning a trip.

Please share any experiences you have with the others in the group

This announcement will self destruct in about a month and replaced with something more relevant

This group is open to all ages, I expect all to be treated with respect and will allow comments and endorsements of items as long as they are not considered SPAM.

Merci

Steve

Hello Steve,
I am so happy that you are the manager of the Paris group. I just posted a message seeking ideas and thoughts about my FIRST TRIP to Paris. Yes, you are the learned one, and I am the novice in travels to Europe. I have to go, I need to go, it is a must for me to get going on my art tour overseas.

I am a traveler in America, usually alone and down the road in my Jaguar. I take that car over all roads in America. As to my Paris trip, a scooter will do if that is what it takes to get me around!

I have a grown daughter that traveled into Paris three times. Each time in her travels she did more climbing on the Eiffel Tower. It took her three trips to get to the top. As for me, eating in the restaurant would be grand.

Just stopping in to say hi. So, far I am awaiting my passport.
