Through a peculiar sequence of events involving my family, it looks like I am going to get to visit Paris in July, first with my mom, and then, after she departs for Argentina (it's a long story) by myself.
Wheeee!
I have never been to Paris. Please tell me your favorite Paris stories, recommend things that might be enjoyable to do with my mom, recommend things that I would enjoy, recommend food and where to get it, etc. Note that:
- I am going on a budget, insofar as this is possible.
- I like oddball, offbeat, little-known, local favorite things. I also like beautiful parks and gardens, and every sort of food. Please, rec me food! I like restaurants, I like buying stuff in markets and eating in parks, and love pastries. (I am not a huge cheese or wine fan.)
- Mom likes historical things, museums, and beautiful parks and gardens.
- We both like thrift shops, especially the sort that sell books or used designer clothing.
By the way, I cannot tell you how thrilled I am about the prospect of traveling with a Kindle instead of 50 pounds of books. (Plus, that means I can buy more books in Paris, since I won't be lugging a bunch from home to read on the plane.) I still need to bring a couple paperbacks to read while the plane is taking off/landing and electronics are turned off, right?
