France 2001

Paris

Two days of  walking in Paris allows only a glimpse of the city: a short tour of the Louvre, Palais Royal, Notre Dame cathedral, Orsay museum, the Tuileries Gardens, and Opera Garnier. But you also experience traffic jams, nerve-wracking sirens, view of back and forth barges carrying sand on the Seine river, and meeting policemen on roller blade.

Then off to Charles De Gaulle airport, where returning a rented  car could take one hour since getting lost is a certainty as you struggle through all those confusing French signs.

Paris

There's not much to say. The places of interest are either grand  (the Louvre), magnificent (Notre Dame), or just plain awesome (Opera Garnier). Many of the places to visit are so huge, you wonder how come your three-star hotel room is just slightly bigger than a walk-in closet.


The northern wing of the Louvre museum just shows you how big this place is.

You can't run from those police guys. They're on roller blades!
