In Reply to: What to do in Paris ? posted by MishaBlues on April 13, 2015 at 09:17:25:
In addition to what others have suggested, the "Tour de France of Wine" at O'Chateau in Paris was a great evening for my wife and I. It's located near the Louvre, and I recommend it highly.
If you have the time, I'd also recommend taking the TGV down to spend a couple of days in Bordeaux. Take the train 1/2 hour in one direction from Bordeaux and you're on the coast eating oysters at Arcachon. Take the boat tour. Half an hour the other way from Bordeaux and you're in St Emilion; a little medieval town in the heart of the wine country around Bordeaux. There's a monolithic church carved from the solid rock there that is well worth seeing, and bottles of St. Emilion Grand Cru that would cost you $100 in the US can be had around town for twelve Euros. Enjoy it there, because it's outrageously expensive to ship it home. Stop in the little knifemaker's shop by the old market in St. Emilion. There's some marvelous craftsmanship to be seen there.
Bordeaux is a nice town in its own right. The surface mass transit is clean and easy to navigate, and the Rue de Sainte-Catherine is almost a mile of straight tiled street.
Make sure that you always have a couple of 1/2 Euro coins in your pocket, as most public toilets are of the pay variety.
You can see audio stuff anytime.
