Going to Paris (or even thinking of it)
 

Great website for potential visitors:

Run by an expat, Bonjour Paris is useful and fun. They even have a chat session! My wife loves the place so we have gone very often and can tell you it is pretty darn good and only wish it'd been available prior to our first trip there about 20 years ago!

doc, I know this is a stretch, but if you like Paris and want a taste of it without the long flight, read below:

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 1999-- Paris Las Vegas Casino Resort, the Las Vegas casino resort scheduled to open Sept. 1, has announced it will be the exclusive site for the US premiere of the French musical Notre Dame De Paris.

The specially designed U.S. adaptation of the production will begin an open-ended run in the Paris Las Vegas Theatre in January 2000.
Scheduled to open in September 1999, Park Place Entertainment's Paris Las Vegas will feature 2,916 guest rooms, 85,000 square feet of casino space, 13 restaurants and lounges, 140,000 square feet of meeting and convention space, retail outlets and a European health spa. In addition to replicas of the Arc de Triomphe, Paris Opera House and The Louvre, the resort's signature attraction is a 50-story replica of the Eiffel Tower.

Thanks shadow! Sounds a little like the Hotel New York at Eurodisney, err...now more properly called Disneyland Paris- even though it is well outside the Peripherique!
