re: #152 Walter L. Newton

Did you get my answer to you about interesting places to see in a weekend in Paris? I repeat it here.

The Holocaust Memorial - hard to find. It is behind Notre Dame, in the park, at the very tip of the Isle de Cite. Small but impressive. It is BELOW ground, so you have to look closely to find it, not well marked, but worth the time to find it.

Carnavalet Museum - the “garage” of France, full of all sorts of objects, but very interesting.

Le Marais - the older Jewish area of Paris, now very much a Greenwich Village sort of area - walk around it, many small cafe’s and stores, very nice.

And I know a few girls…

Also, I can put you in contact with the BEST walking tour guide in town. He’s in his 70’s, American citizen, has lived in Paris for over 30 years, use to work for UNESCO. Click on my name, go to my website and email me and I will pass on a email address.

Thank you so much Walter..I printed it out..I’m excited about visiting the city of lights.. I’ll leave Friday from Amsterdam and drive to Paris..I need to find a really cool Hotel Downtown….I prefer walking or Buses when visiting places..
I want to drive through the wine region of France.. As you know I’m a Napa Valley boy…And it was always Napa, France,Napa,france blah blah..We make better wine than you….
