There is so much to see in Paris, so many museums, art galleries. One of my favourites is Musée Cluny. Loved the tapestries "The Lady and the Unicorn" and was fascinated to see that the Notre Dame Cathedral is built on the spot of a celtic sanctionary.

I think I will go to Mass at Notre Dame. Mom would be happy. We would attend Mass at the Notre-Dame de Quebec Cathedral each summer. Now I will see the Notre Dame I have always wanted to see.
I have been looking up info on all the suggestions and have bought a guied book. Tuesday I will meet with a friend who spent a month in Paris and he has lots of suggestions and a map he thinks will be helpful.
I am so ready to travel that each day until vacation seems to be an annoyance. Of course if I had planned the trip any sooner I might have missed out due to the volcanic activity.

I am going for 5 nights at the end of May to the beginning of June. I will take lots of pictures. I am looking forward to exploring the city. I even want to visit the catacombs.

As a frenchman who spent almost all his life in Paris, but who finally decided to move very, very far away from a country plagued by "manifestations et greves" (demonstrations and strikes), I only spend a few days from time to time and enjoy the beautiful city, yes it is magnificent, the girls and boys have a unique french touch and the cuisine is wonderful and not necessarily expensive.
As a typical Parisian, I never visit anything, alone. So If you plan to come again to Paris, I'd be delighted to accompany you in museums, Tour Eiffel, and of course restaurants, just let me know if that sounds good to you? I am 59 (old balls as I call myself), not too stupid, and appreciate good company.
As vacation nears I am rereading this thread. Thank you for the offer. I am anxious to explore and discover Paris. I have written a nice diary of advice and ideas from many posts and friends who have travelled to Paris. Of course I am most interested in my own personal discovery of Paris.
