Whether you fall in love with Pierre or Paris, the "City of Light" truly fulfills its reputation as one of the most romantic, beautiful and civilized cities in the world.
Instructions
1. Plan your trip to Paris well in advance. Make a list of the types of transportation, accommodations and activities you desire or need.
2. Research Paris via books or the Internet. Look for the abundant hot travel deals offered on Web travel/auction sites.
3. Determine your budget in advance since Parisian accommodations can quickly deplete your dollars (however, the dollar is strong against the franc now, so Paris will seem much cheaper than London or Geneva).
4. Schedule your trip during April if possible to witness the magic of springtime in Paris. Visit Paris at Christmas for fabulous holiday shopping along les Champs Elysees.
5. Focus your attention upon Paris' two gay districts - le Marais (4th arrondissement) and les Halles (1st arrondissement) - which boast more than 200 gay bars, restaurants, hotels and shops. Adopt the Parisian joie de vivre and dance the night away at two of many hot discos: le Central and le Queen.
6. Choose among Paris' many notable tourist destinations worthy of your attention, including la Tour Eiffel, Notre Dame (cathedral), la Musee d'Orsay (Impressionist art museum), le Louvre (art museum), les Tuileries (gardens), Versailles (castle), Montmartre (cathedral) and a Bateau Mouche ride along the Seine.
