1 Night in Paris, France: Enjoying the City of Light in just 2 days

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 5, 2005 -- Paris, France remains one of the most romantic destinations in the world. The City of Light offers visitors a wide range of sensual delights. Travel writer Joan Fitting Scott captures the sights, sounds and smells in her new travel story for www.Travel-Wise.com - "Where Smart Ttravelers Come First!"

"When my husband and I took the moonlight boat tour of the Seine, and feasted our eyes on all that makes Paris glitter, our Parisien guide, a young brunette with a mellifluous accent, told us something astonishing. She said to see all the objects in the Louvre, involving just the briefest look, would require a three-month day-and-night visit."

Not having that kind of time, the Scotts narrowed the overwhelming choices into just a few places that make sense for such a short visit to Paris. "Since we had just two days in the City of Light, I had planned a walking tour that fanned out from our neighborhood to sites we could easily reach on foot."

Beyond short visits to world-famous Notre Dame Cathedral and Conciergerie � " telling ourselves that a snippet of Paris would have to do � after all, we could always come back � we headed on to lunch," outlines Scott.

" I'd had a yearning to see the spots were les artistes dined and imbibed. Clustered like intellectuals at a bookstore are the restaurants where Paris's cerebral bouillabaisse once simmered."

From there is window shopping through the tony neighborhoods on the �le St. Louis in the middle of the Seine River, more art galleries and fine restaurants on this magic little island.

The one night and two days in Paris, remained stress-free: "We felt ourselves, the ultra-stressed, workaholic Americans, going native and taking things easy. Europeans, we agreed, have life in better perspective."

Concludes Scott, "We'd not seen so much. But, as a travel companion once told me: 'You're just here to get an idea.' Unlike Napoleon, we weren't trying to conquer Europe. Only to appreciate it."
