Summary: 



I just returned from Paris. Having read most of the articles
regarding Paris over the past month or so, I want to add my 
experiences to the pool.

- First of all, Paris is the most beautiful city in the world.
- All big cities are unsafe if you are not careful.
Try not to look like a tourist.
Make sure that you stay in a safe hotel. 
Only cary on you what you need.
- Better Exchange rates:
Make the conversion in the target country unless that is illigal.
Credit cards provide very good exchange rates. Visa is accepted
almost every where in France.
Some bigger stores accept dollars at a better rate than banks 
do. 
- Should you be planning on going to France in the near future,
send me email and I'll send you the address of several good 
restaurants and hotels.

Paris is Beautiful and Dollar is Strong.
Enjoy it while you can.
