I was first in France for a few days in Dec. 2002 and Jan. 2003. Paris is a very beautiful city. It also has very good cheese. Since then I've passed through again in 2005 and 2006. Both those times I visited my friend Geraldine in Paris. I returned to Paris again in September 2008 to visit my friend Karima who was in town at the time. I can never get enough of Paris. Its so beautiful and the public transportation is wonderful. I'll be back again when I get the chance.

This shop was very impressive! Only cheese, and some very good cheese. They knew exact times that each cheese would peak, and so many kinds of cheese. Very nice. Jan. 2003. |

A very nice bookstore I came across. At least the layout was wonderful. The year before I visited Shakespeare & Co. bookstore which was similar. The problem with both shops is the price of books. They are unfortunately unreasonably expensive. Even crappy books. April 2006. |
