Stayed at Merryl - Paris, France.

We did all the big touristy things which you can find out about on the internet : Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, etc. All I have to say to get to the Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay early unless you like crowds of people. >br>
The most important thing to do while in Paris, in my opinion, is WATCH YOUR PURSE! I caught a 12 year old boy who looked like a regular Parisian with his hand in my friend's purse while entering a Metro stop in Montmatre. He had unzipped it and undone the front latch in under 5 seconds. The only reason I caught him was because he was much too close to her -- there was no one else around, so he had no reason to be right up against her back. Her purse was just at her side, and she only had to let her guard down for a second. The only reason he didn't get anything was because her wallet was too big to get out of her purse easily. Be careful, and definately use your hotel's valuables lockup to secure your passport and tickets. Be especially careful in the Metro and in front of Notredame.
