      INTRODUCTION

      ––––––––

      ––––––––

      Where does one even start?

      Yes, it is the most romantic city in the world, to my view. Some think that title belongs to Rome, but for me it will always be Paris.

      It doesn’t hurt to be in Paris with someone you love. In fact, it makes a discernible difference in your experience there. And while it also helps to be young, that really isn’t necessary. It’s not essential that you be in love, of course. It’s just that there’s an added layer of emotion informing everything you see and do, an extra dimension that imbues your time there with an ineffable invisible coating that will fix the time in your memory till the day you die.

      I know that sounds a little dramatic, but it’s absolutely true. It happened to me. Only once, but it happened.

      You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

      Mae West said that.

      And before you die, you’ve got to get to Paris.

      At least once. 

      * * *

      My word, what can you see in a Long Weekend in Paris? Or better yet, what should you see?

      This is a very daunting task, deciding what to see if I were to be in Paris, had 3 or 4 days, and knew I’d never come back.

      If this were true—that I’d never go back to Paris—I think I’d make a beeline for the Seine, choose one of the lovely classic bridges—and leap to my death in despair.

      This being the case, I’ve tried to winnow away the absolutely unessential things that you can get by without seeing or doing. At the same time, I’ve included enough variety for you to pick and choose if your time is even shorter than my 3 or 4 day Long Weekend.

      I would recommend walking around a lot at first, just so you get the feel of the city. The sensory impressions you pick up will remain with you forever. Go into a bistro or a bakery and buy some items for a picnic, whether in a park or back at your lodging.

      Don’t visit the churches and museums until AFTER your walk around the town, or the section of town you’re visiting. They aren’t as important as your effort to absorb the city. And I’ll tell you from personal experience, those marble floors are murder on your feet.

      ––––––––

      SPEAKING FRENCH

      Try to learn a few phrases in French. You can get a little phrasebook anywhere. Just a few words—a greeting, let’s say—will go a long way toward defrosting the notably frosty French attitude toward foreigners.

      Or just use a translation app on your phone to get a couple of words before you go into a place.

      Personally, even though I’m of French ancestry (going back to the 12th Century in La Rochelle and Nantes), my first experiences with the French were just about as unpleasant as others you’ve heard about.

      You don’t have to like the people to accept them as they are. That was the key to my continuing enjoyment when visiting the country. There are far too many pleasures to absorb in France for you to be put off by the people who happen to live there. I know that statement sounds absurd, but it’s not at all.

      ARRONDISSEMENT SYSTEM

      ––––––––

      What are Arrondissements?

      Paris is divided into 20 sections or arrondissements. Starting in the center of the city, they (very confusingly to newcomers) spiral outwards in a clockwise direction. While the
