tourists at the Louvre, but the fact is that underneath each overused
hackneyed cliché is a glistening kernel of truth. The City of Light, the
City of Love and the City of Romance, familiar platitudes, but once you
experience it for yourself you understand why. There is a je ne sais
quoi allure to this city that beguiles, but never completely reveals
what makes it so universally appealing. Artists, poets, writers, and
composers have tried to define exactly what it is about this place, and
yet they succeed only to a point. Perhaps it is as elusive as defining
love, for to be in Paris entails experiencing love, about someone,
something, some place. There is so much to do - you know the big ones,
the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, Sacre Coeur, St. Germain des Pres, the Left
Bank, the Right Bank, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elysées, the
Opéra- but don't miss the fun of discovering the small ones, the ones
off the beaten path. Nothing like taking your time strolling thru the
turn of the century mansion that houses Musée Marmottan then enjoying a
café and patisserie in the museums jewel box café. Wandering aimlessly
is romantic. Getting lost isn't romantic. In fact there are few things
that can drain the romance out of a situation faster than realizing that
you're hopelessly lost. So take your travel map and put it away if you
want to wander, but have no fear that your wandering will turn into a
lost odyssey. You can always pull out the STREETWISE(R) Paris Map and
get yourself pointed back in the right direction. Paris is not without
faults. Sometimes people can be rude, but that's the case anywhere in
the world - be it a large city or small village. You get what you give.
And in the case of Paris, as with any true love, you accept the flaws
with the charms, the weaknesses with the strengths. In the end the true
beauty of Paris will surpass any blemish. Life from a Parisian
perspective is beautiful. But that's another cliché, isn't it? The
pocket size map of Paris is laminated for durability and accordion
folding for effortless use. To enhance your visit to Paris, pick up a
