    Lucky lucky you. Paris is easy to navigate. Get a good guide, put on your
    walking shoes, and off you go. The Metro (subway system) is easy to navigate, it
    is color coded for the non french speakers. The Louvre is generally crowded
    during the holidays, but I bet during the off season it isn't as bad. I would
    recommend getting there early. Montparness (I don't know if I spelled that
    right), Notre Dame are musts. If you have time, board a city tour bus, bring a
    map, and circle places you want to revist. Then find the nearest metro stop, and
    work your way there.

    As for the French, I have been to Paris 4 times, and have NEVER met a rude French
    citizen...and the only French I speak is "Hi, I don't speak French, do you speak
    English?" To a person they have all smiled, and helped me out in broken English
    and hand signals. I take 6 students to Europe, and we have all agreed that our
    experience in France was wonderful.
