Thinking that a rental car might be a great way to get around Paris? Don't do it -- ever, ever, ever. Even if you've driven through lots of busy, crazy cities, don't be tempted. Find another way to get around Paris.
Once we got there, we found plenty to be happy about. We had lunch at a wonderful bookstore in our neighborhood.
Many of the neighbors were drinking wine (and smoking) on their balconies, so we joined in.
We went to Charles de Gualle airport to fetch Sandie, and Keith took this great video.
We took Sandie to all of the sights and the weather was perfect. We walked for miles.
Our first order of business was a tour of wine bars through the
Paris by Mouth website.
Aaron is an American who lives in Paris and writes a wine blog called
Not Drinking Poison in Paris. Aaron took us to three wine bars in the 10th arrondisment and we tried five different wines, with snacks! It was fantastic -- I could have done one of those tours every day.
Aaron sent us an email summarizing what we drank, saying things like "After a few swirls in
the glass this bottle began to show a true Morgon nose, pitched
somewhere between kirsch and cough syrup. A fine example of the
minerality, structure, and piercing cherry fruit of great cru
Beaujolais. (Worlds apart from the industrial beaujolais nouveau swill
that ruined the region's reputation.)"
