Paris Itinerary
Paris is best understood by me geographically as resembling a swirled lollipop starting in the center. It is broken into arondissements which are called neighborhoods by the site that I link to http://www.parisnet.com/parismap.html but seem to me to be more like wards or districts.

Warning!!! Nudity alert!!! At the bottom of this blog entry is a video of Paris. It contains images of Paris that include naked statues and naked paintings. We always try to maintain a family friendly blog, but we wanted to warn you. In short you will bypass all the notes and go straight to the video.
