Friendliness: Should I write FRIENDLINESS!!!? And cheerful attempts to speak English!!! And yes, I checked several times and we were definitely in Paris. Paris, France.
Eating: SUSHI! Lots of choices -- including delivery.
Smoking: Still happening. But there are many places where it is forbidden! And some people even respect the new law!
Shopping: There are 8 weeks of obligatory sales for ALL retail shops every year. 4 in January. 4 starting last week. (I don’t know if this is new -- I was unable to shop when last here.)
Eco-Transport: There are rent-a-bikes parked all over the city. Cost? 1 Euro. There are plans to add electric cars within the next few years. Cost? 1 Euro!
Museums:
One: buy a museum/transport pass before you come. It allows you use of all public transport and reserved access to most museums. I went to the Musee d’Orsay (loads of work by the Impressionists, Naturalists and others). I almost gave up as there was a 3 hour line to get in. Then I saw the Reserved Access entrance. No line!
Two: RODIN MUSEUM. RODIN MUSEUM. RODIN MUSEUM.
Overall: Everybody’s so much younger than before -- some of the youth even have gray hair! And the cops and soldiers are HOT! Or will be, as soon as they reach adulthood.
