Napoleon, that little guy with the Louvre-sized ego
We planned only three major sights for today’s agenda. First, we visited the Arc de Triomphe. Next, we strolled down the Champs-Elysees. Finally, we toured the major works at the Louvre. After a quiet dinner, we’re back at the hotel by 9 p.m.

Hurry up and get lost (Paris edition)
The plan for tonight was supposed to be the Trocadero and the Eiffel Tower, and I’ll be damned if I wasn’t going to make this day turn out right. Exhausted and more frazzled than yesterday, we set the evening in motion.

In preparation for a trip to Europe at the end of this month, which includes Paris and Strasbourg, I bought a set of CDs recently that boast they can teach you French by listening during your commute.
