The Palais Royal - Thirza Vallois tells us about the Palais Royal - a place now almost off the beaten path, yet right in the center of Paris - a stones throw from the Louvre. If you've visited Paris, almost undoubtedly you've passed within 10 metres of the place, but probably didn't know it. Take a moment and visit it now. (This piece is excerpted from Thirza Vallois' book Around and About Paris.)

Showrooms on the Champs-Elysées - Richard Erickson When you walk down this famous avenue, you'll notice many things, including perhaps the car showrooms.

And sometimes - to seperate yourself from the rest, you need to integrate a restaurant with it as well. Take a stroll with Ric on a raining day in Paris.
