So the wife has a business trip the week of Thanksgiving and rather than hang out with the in-laws, I decided to tag along. As she’ll be busy during the day, I’m on my own for site seeing and entertainment and looking for any recommendations the MacNNers might have.

This will be my fourth trip to Paris, so I’ve hit the common tourist sites (Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Musée d’Orsay, Versaille, Arc de Triomphe, Pompidou and Sacre Coeur). So far, based on some recommendations and interests, I’ve put together this potential list:
  • The marine museum in the Trocadero
  • The army museum in the Invalides
  • Saint Chapelle (although I understand it’s more difficult to get into now?)
  • Another trip to the Louvre
  • Cite de sciences et de l’industrie in Parc de la Villette
  • Possibly the Musée Carnavalet
  • Chateau de Vincennes
I have 10 days. What else should I explore/see?

I was gonna say "Shut up, get a real job, and stop whoring around", but then I clicked the link and found that you meant the city.

Edit: DAMMIT!

Whatever you do, don’t give him apples to hand out.

(My lewd innuendos are so much more highbrow than everyone else’s)

I believe the Élysée Palace has a fine gnome collection these days. Might be worth a visit.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

They prefer to be called 'little people', Doof.

Mrs Gnome likes little people, doesn't she?

Why does Eric look like Richard D. James in that picture?

Must be Carla's hand.

(OK, that's a stretch but it's worth a joke.)
New vid concept?
