All great journeys begin with the pleasure of anticipation. You’ve booked your plane tickets, confirmed your accommodation, and even though you’re still sitting at your desk surrounded by a mini-fortress of Paris guide books, your imagination has already packed its little bag, raced downstairs (slamming the door in its haste) and hailed a taxi to the airport. It didn’t even pause to say au revoir or give you polite air-kisses on both cheeks. And before you know it, your imagination has already settled at a Parisian café with a glass of Beaujolais in hand.
But if anticipating a vacation is the first pleasure we experience, then planning it can be a downright pain. You can’t swing a baguette in Paris without hitting a world-famous landmark—museums, monuments, gardens, statues, cathedrals, not to mention a certain well-known iron tower—there are literally hundreds of things to see and do in the City of Light.
