Paris calling!

Posted by Mr Wong at 3:48 AM

Sound familiar? Well after the wonderful replies received from the London calling post, I got an email from a regular reader, Cheri, who is finally getting her wish of going to Paris in May. Now that I have gotten over my happiness, jealousy, I am happy to help her plan her trip!  Being its one of my most favorite cities on earth, I was happy to oblige when she asked if I might consider doing a similar post on Paris. 
Any country that makes me feel obligated to indulge in a croissant and crusty bread on a regular basis makes it straight to the top of my list! I make no secret of my love for all things French so its with pleasure I present "Paris calling". Cheri..this is for you! So to all who have been or who might even be lucky enough to reside in France, the floor is open for any and all suggestions on just about anything. Just a few ideas to get you started below. And to start I am going to leave my own comment about some personal highlights for me. Thanks in advance to all my readers for your help, expertise and your wonderful generous spirit in sharing all that you know!! We could so start our own Fodors and then some!  Here we go.....
Restaurants not to be missed..........

Must see and do "typical tourist attractions" 

 Magnificent museums...

Shopping must dos/sees/drools?

Authentic bistros or outdoor cafes?

Favorite hotel (s)?

Interesting customs worth noting.....

Special tours worth taking...

Favorite foods?

Markets to meander through?

If  one day can be spent taking a day trip, where to go......

Thanks in advance to any information and helpful tips you want to add. I know it will be so appreciated by not only Cheri but many more too, if not inspire more than one of us (me included) to plan a trip to Paris ASAP. What a fabulous, inspirational and beautiful place!  Mon Cheri, my friend,  you are in for a wonderful treat! This post has me so wanting to be there too....nothing quite like Paris in the springtime!
