Tourism  
Whether you're in Paris for work or for fun, this is the one city where it's a sin not to indulge yourself. How can an art lover pass up the Musee d'Orsay or a day at the Louvre? How can a serious shopper not make a pilgrimage to Rue du Faubourg St. Honore, or perhaps to the Marais? And how can anyone who enjoys food not plan at least one very special meal?
