not that you don't know this, by garlic (4.00 / 1) #1 Tue May 23, 2006 at 02:51:50 PM EST

but the crowds around the most famous art in the louvre aren't worth fighting through. stick with the not quite as famous stuff.

: The Mona Lisa is by Scrymarch (4.00 / 1) #14 Wed May 24, 2006 at 02:37:14 AM EST

... or at least it was in it's old spot. Was it you who posted this link about it moving?

The last time I saw the wretched thing it was after queuing and then being crushed in a dead end where flashes lit the painting so harshly that I came away with the distinct idea that Leonardo portrayed Lisa during a thunderstorm.
That was how I saw it.
The Nike of Samothrace was in a more open area that you'll probably pass anyway if you're looking at the fine art.

Paris has jumped the queue for our European travels, since the step-daughter wants to go there after London.

Dude! What is this ro - man - tic of which by greyrat (2.00 / 0) #6 Tue May 23, 2006 at 05:14:44 PM EST

you speak? She's a party girl. No romance. She dates a boy for awhile, crushes his soul, eats his heart and moves on -- just like any mid-to-late teen female. She wants to go to Paris for touristy purposes. Just like she wants to go to London for Beatlestalking. I did however point out to here that when she and her mom walk into a pub, they'll probably not have to pay for anything.

Since she's the good child right now, ms rat and I might deign to take her to gay Paris...

He will find his way.

Although I'd understood he only went for Americans if they were fat, ugly and needy.

Brown basmati. by ambrosen (4.00 / 1) #4 Tue May 23, 2006 at 04:32:06 PM EST

I just boil the bejaysus out of it for 40 minutes and it splits, but it still tastes good. I have a very low tolerance for fibre, but I do find that it leaves me feeling less hungry when I wake up in the morning than white rice, or brown long grain rice, my main need from a food.

Paris by TurboThy (4.00 / 1) #12 Tue May 23, 2006 at 07:44:09 PM EST

Musée Jaquemart-André is a nice place to spend a few couple hours.

If the weather's nice, the jardin at the Musée Rodin is a very nice hangout. Museum's interesting too.

Paris by nebbish (4.00 / 1) #15 Wed May 24, 2006 at 05:20:08 AM EST

The Catacombs. There is a small area open to the public, which I haven't visited but have been told is pretty cool. If you're a bit more adventurous there's plenty of stuff online (including a frighteningly big map), but bear in mind someone got lost down there and died (just feet from an exit of course).

On the tourist side, I remember Montmartre being really cool when I visited as a kid, great views. Dunno what it's like now though.
