Just tell her that I won't show you the street packed with
photo-shops here if she agrees to the meeting - whereas I will email
you exact directions if she doesn't :)

Sounds like a plan. I live in Paris, yet work in Versailles (well, in
Rocquencourt, which is a suburb of Versailles)...the garden of the
castle is pretty these days...
Also, remember that if you go to Notre Dame, you will not only need
fast films and a wide-angle, but also to go down the street on the
side of the church to get the best ice-cream in Paris.....:)
I'd also reccomend a stroll up on the west side of the Seine. Start
at Gare d'Austerliz and walk up towards Notre Dame on an afternoon or
early evening. It's a fairly nice path - with parisians picknique'ing
and dancing (!!!) on the banks of the river, weather permitting. And
by "dancing", I do not mean kids with ghettoblasters and hip-hop...
Also, the original of the staute of liberty is worth a sight :) With
luck, you can get a photo of that and the eiffel-tower in the same
frame.

Well, I am flexible, as long as it is not wednesday :) My boss is on
vacation, and unless some emergency happens at work, I can be as
flexible as I please. Probably, even, a weekday would suit me better
than the weekend.
Any other zuikoholics in Paris, who's free at some time while Donald
is here???
