This site has the flavor of a visit to contemporary Paris, and you don't even need a passport to get there. You'll experience Parisian life up close, from the hassles of transportation to glimpses of the renowned monuments. Current information that a tourist might need is provided here -- a calendar of cultural events, locations of popular cafes and stores, museums, and expositions. Participation in updating this site is encouraged, especially from Parisians or frequent visitors to 'The City of Lights.'
