    @adrian - many thanks for the map! That should keep me busy.

    @Jazzaferri - I'll be staying at the cheapest place possible!

  • @RobMacKillop using the word cheap in conjunction with Paris is an oxymoron

    Go to Musee D'Orse' to see Monets Waterlillies. Also visit Versailles

    Haha, yes, I agree. But I have been to Paris four times before, and have seen these things. But that was many years ago. I even slept on the streets for six weeks, busking during the day. I was young and reckless then, too old and boring now :-(

    Ah, but go to le Musée de la Musique then and see Django's guitar! And I believe that the Picasso museum has been renovated and reopened not long ago.

    That sounds a good idea, Matteo! I just might do both those things.

    I second Matteo's suggestion about Musee de la Musique. They also have one of Stephane's violins and an all around amazing collection. Easy to get to by Metro.
