Paul and I had a great time exploring Paris with my parents. Our hotel was conveniently located a block from Paul's favourite attraction - the Arc de Triomphe. In addition to attending the French Open, we toured the Louvre, ascended the Eiffel Tour, strolled the Champs Elysees and visited Les Invalides and the Notre Dame Cathedral. The old buildings are beautiful and the city glows from their gold accents by day and lights at night. It's lively and busy, the streets lined with tourists. Unfortunately, the tourist attractions are also frequented by pickpockets and scammers. There are many online warnings about this unseemly side of Paris. Here's a
link to the most common cons. We encountered all of them within a few days! Although exasperating at moments, it didn't detract from our positive experience and enjoyment of the city. Jenn
