I realized - I bet many of you have some wonderful tips about what not to miss (esp for shooting, but also for eating) in Paris - I'd be grateful if you'd share them - by email or here.
I'm here until July 19th, so I have plenty of time to explore.
Thanks,
Susan_nyc

yes..I'll continue to walk if the sun continues to shine. It's been rainy and cold and grey and miserable until today - too rainy to bring my camera out from under my waterproof jacket most of the time.

Did your M8 arrive?...

Hi Susan,
I was lucky enough to have a native walk me around. When near Notre Dame, there is a restaurant I can't say enough about if you want to eat like a native: La Polidour (spelling?). Cheap and delicious. Two people, two plat-du-jour (plate of the day) and a carafe of wine followed up with coffee and a shared dessert was ~20 Euro each. We ended up having lunch AND dinner ...

If you don't speak French instead of just asking for what you want to know start by saying "Could you help me?" This usually gets you immediate interest from passers by, then ask your real question. They will really try to help you.

Susan,
For my first visit to Paris, I read and took "A Moveable Feast".
I retraced several of the walks through Paris Hemmingway describes in the book.

ravnishgandi: it looks as if the china club just closed ....
Alan42 - nice idea asking for help before asking for help - thanks.
