I have never been to Europe, I live vicariously through other people's photos and TV docos!!

There's nothing like actually being there, but memories are a close secod. How wonderful!
Paris is one of those cities one needs at least a month to explore.
Gorgeous photos, and what a wonderful time you had - with obviously more to go back for!
I was in Paris for a few days in 1980, when on tour with the Canberra Youth Orchestra. One of the other violinists was a relative/child of the Australian Ambassador to France, so they gave a lunch for the *entire orchestra* in their private residence at the top of the Embassy (a curved building, near the Eiffel Tower). A memorable occasion!!
