Well our feet nearly dropped off, but we managed to see everything we had hoped to in our 4 days in Paris - no doubt you could spend years trying to see everything {apparently it would take 3 and a half MONTHS just spending ten seconds in front of each piece of art in the Louvre - no stopping from open to close - in order to see every object in there!} So we left tired but happy and we both agree that Paris exceeded our expectations! We didn't get scammed or pickpocketed (Jon was thrilled to see a guy trying the 'gold ring' scam - to no avail) and the weather was brilliant considering it was February (no snow! no rain!).
