Holiday in Paris

"Paris is romantic at any time of year -- but I can think of no finer time to visit the City of Light than spring, when new blossoms green the trees,

flowers perfume the air and everything shines with a singular sheen, as if scrubbed clean for a new year. This site is meant to pique your Parisian

wanderlust with a happy marriage of favorite tales from our archives and links to other inspiring and informative sites. The rest is up to you: Bon

voyage!" -- Don George
