Ahhh Paris….. a most wondrous city!

A spontaneous 2-day trip to Paris with my girlfriend Claudia was just what I needed to refresh my perspective on life.
At the end of July most of the Parisians have fled the city for “les vacances” (collective French vacation), never mind the tourists. They are left to their own accord to wander the streets of what sometimes seems an illuminated ghost town or the backdrop for an expensive historical movie. It is a little eerie and always charming… as only Paris can be.

What is your reason for visiting Paris?
