Paris has something for everyone. There is food, culture, history, nightlife, architecture, and more. And for something else, check out the last resting places of people and their pets. In today's blog post I have listed several places of interest that you might not go to on your first trip to Paris, but are definitely interesting and enjoyable.
On our last small group tour to Paris, we were there during the Halloween season. Halloween in Paris is catching on. There are Halloween parties, and the storefronts do have Halloween displays. In today's blog post, I will give you some tips on good places to spend Halloween in Paris.
I watched the Bruce Willis classic, "The Sixth Sense" the other night. After waking up after a few nightmares, I dreamed up some Paris "I See Dead People" tours myself. It's not really a horror story, but it can be a lot of fun to do this offbeat tour next time on vacation in The City of Light.
On our Paris tours we see and do a lot. On occasion, I get a request to do something offbeat or unusual in Paris. Sometimes people will ask me to tour the sewers of Paris, sometimes it is the Pere Lachaise Cemetery. On more than one occasion I have been asked by travelers to tour the pet cemetery located on the outskirts of Paris. However, at the top of the list of offbeat things to see are the Paris Catacombs. For a description of this unusual Paris tour, read today's blog post.
On tours to Italy we always take a day to walk through the heart of Rome. As we stroll through the heart of Rome it is a tour through thousands of years of history. We see some of the most famous sights in all the world. I know all the health experts say that walking will help someone lose weight, but on our tours of Italy, we consume so much gelato, delicious pizza, tartuffo and other treats, our 1-mile walk through Rome might be an experience where we put on a few pounds, rather than lose them. Take a look at my blog post to see how we plan our walking tour of Rome while visiting Italy.
