Must See Paris/Barcelona Sites?

[PrincessPeach]

Thanks everyone for the great advice. I'm jetting tomorrow and spending 5 days in Paris and just 2 in Barcelona. Hopefully it'll be an experience for the books. I have printed this thread out and am going to take some of your suggestions for sure. All great stuff here...thanks all!

Safe travels, Cornerback! Drink a Kronenbourg for me. :cheers:

Oh, and I don't know what kind of transportation you'll have there, but with five days to spend in Paris, it may be worth a day trip to Normandy and Mont Saint Michel if you have a car.

FWIW, both cities have a great subway sysyem to get around on.

Also, be alert for pick pockets, they're everywhere. Here is some good information:

I also hear Peach will play with your corkscrew if you bring back a nice wine.

But it has to be a really big corkscrew.
