A visit to Paris is on everyone’s bucket list. After the terrorist attacks in 2014 the people of Paris did not falter, that great city beloved of visitors and romantics worldwide remains strong and beautiful.
The iconic Tour Eiffel, usually vibrant with sparkling lights at night, went dark reflecting the grief of France but, two days later, the Tour Eiffel re-opened, lit defiantly in the tricolor of France. The people walked with purpose and hope.
Let us recommend some of the simple pleasures to enjoy when finding your way around Paris!
A visit to Paris – simple things to enjoy
- Paris is a city of contrasts and great atmosphere – take a walk.
- Or buy a Paris Visite ticket which gives unlimied travel making the city your oyster

Purring for Paris. There’s no place for terrorism in this world. Almost 50 people were slain in an act of terrorism in Beirut the very next day but it didn’t make the papers.

We also enjoy Paris, but we know that Lebanon’s city of Beirut once was glorious, much like our SF. But war, and continuing bombing, etc insure we will never get to enjoy this once lovely city. Paris is not the only city with IS attacks. We know you all know this, but we hurt for those elsewhere as well. Purrs
