We leave tomorrow - this time Thursday Boonie and I should be finished with customs and luggage and on our way to Montmartre.
Two days in Montmartre, three in Normandy on a tour and another four in Paris. We'll be based in the Latin Quarter for the last four days.
We have two tours scheduled - Louvre and Musee D'Orsay - and a boat trip with Eiffel Tower elevator access on Friday night.
We haven't planned much - we have things we want to do, and we will figure it out from there. Covered Passages. The booksellers along the Seine (now that they aren't being moved for The Olympics). Opera Garnier (we know we need tickets - much we aren't sure when we will be going. We'll know better by the weekend), Galeries Lafayette, eat in Le Marais.
We plan on doing a lot of walking - we are going to use the On/Off Bus to cover places that we won't be near on our walks.
We won't be in Paris for the flea markets on the weekends but I can do that on my next trip.

..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

Re: Paris and Normandy
Bon voyage! I regret I never made it to Paris. One of my suitcases did, though.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
