Skip King a ecrit: > I think the Champs Elysees is boring, but you might like > it, if only to say you strolled along it. Reminds me of a joke I was told by a Brit buddy o' mine as we were walking down the sidewalk... Q: Do you know why the Champs Elysees has all these trees planted down the sides? A: So the Germans can march in the shade. Personally, I've always enjoyed just walking around taking it in. It's an extremely walkable city. It's a great place if you have a bottomless expense account. With the crashed dollar, even a baguette at the boulangerie is a little pricey. I concur with Skip's list of places to avoid even though I confess that I've done them all.
