...to do in Paris - by popular demand. Some of these are a bit off the beaten track, but worthwhile.
- The hot air balloon over the Parc Andre Citroen
- Ping pong (yes I have the technology) and inspecting the beehives in the Luxembourg gardens -plus generally sunning oneself.
- The Pompidou centre (a fun building, great view from the top of the escalators, and good collections)
- Musee d'Orsay - they have completely redone the Impressionist rooms and the paintings are much better exhibited now. And the restaurant there looks fab.
- The chocolate museum
-
- The sewer museum (not in summer)
- Aquaboulevard (indoors water park)
- Boat ride up and down the Seine on the batobus (hop-on, hop-off)
- Boat ride up the Canal St Martin, especially the spooky underground bit - and walking along the banks also.
- Tour of the Opera Garnier - even better, go to the ballet there (but book about 3 months in advance)
- Generally wandering in the Marais - check out the Marche des Enfants Rouges.
- Museum of Natural History, featuring the giant squid caught in NZ waters - well it looked a bit small to me but never mind!
- The Museum of the History of Paris - medieval street signs, an entire jewellery shop reconstructed, and Revolutionary crockery
- The Promenade Plantee in the 12th - walk along an old railway line planted with
