Depends on how long you're there. But the regional train takes you almost to the entrance of the palace at Versailles.

At mealtime, just wander into any random restaurant. You'll get a good meal. If the desire for American-style fast food becomes overwhelming, try Quick -- McDonald's done in French.

I regret not seeing the Arene de Lutece, Roman ruins in the southeastern part of the city.

I'll also pass on some advice (slightly modified) that I received about the Louvre. See the must-see items (Mona Lisa, Winged Victory, Venus de Milo). Then go to one section of the museum and visit it thoroughly -- act like the rest of the museum is somewhere on the other side of town.

Yay Paris! I haven't been yet myself. My time in France was further south, so I have no Paris-specific suggestions. I do remember not having a single bad meal. And the cheaper wine was still quite palatable.

We're expecting snow in my region, too. Since we don't get snow that regularly, we're largely incapable of dealing with it. But I have food and drink, and as long as the power stays on I'll be fine. I do enjoy walking around in the snow as it's coming down, and then going inside to drink cocoa and watch the snow fall from the warmth of my sofa.

Also my friend who has lived in Paris for years off and on could give some more insider suggestions, but I have to say, as a non-French speaker, I was scared to go anywhere not super touristy alone.

(Not scared of being physically unsafe, just scared of not being able to communicate and embarrassing myself.)

I'v never been to Paris, so my first recommendation is take me with you!

Hi Buffistas! In snowy Otter Lake. My sister picked me up in Syracuse at midnight. Landing while it was actively snowing on white runways was neat. The wings were all icy and stuff. I have zero fear of flying and know that Syracuse understands how to deal with snow so it was just fun. It took my sister 2 hours to get us home because of road conditions, but mostly because of slow pokes in front of us. It would have taken me 4! She felt bad going to work and leaving me without a car. I laughed at her and told her there was no chance of me driving in snow. She also gave me boots, a coat, and socks. I only had footsy socks and covering the ankle in boots seemed wise.

Sad to be here for my dear cousin's funeral, but looking forward to seeing all the other cousins and hoping that shared grief is lessened grief.

Laura, I hope you get to have great conversations remembering your cousin. And stay warm!

I can't believe people are still out and about with bare skin showing when it's 30 degrees here. I just saw some bare ankles on my way to work this morning.

Getting dressed this morning, I thought that my multi-colored scarf was the perfect match for my multi-colored skirt, and it is, but in the bathroom mirror, I thought it was Too Much. Ah well.

I'm going to Paris in the summer! At least, I bought women's World Cup tickets for Paris so I plan to be there. No idea for how long or anything.

I hope to go for a week. I am not opposed to people joining me, like really not opposed, but I plan with a capital P, so fair warning. This may be current headspace, but I also think I might just cry at random times because of architecture while in a Paris.

Paris is a really easy city to wander! My daughter asks to go back all the time. Do all the obvious things. Buy street food. The garden at the Musee Rodin is fantastic on a nice day.

My dog is one of 10 puppies that came into the rescue (she's now 4). We have kept in touch with all the owners, and there is one sister of Salsa's that we see a couple times a year. This morning my DH got a call that Lucy had slipped her collar not far from our house, and her owner had been looking/calling for her for 30 minutes. She wanted the name of our dog tracker, but Jeff also said he'd meet her in a nearby park to help her look. When they got to the park, Salsa barked a greeting at Lucy's mom, and who should zoom out of the woods after hearing that but LUCY! So, happy ending. And a play date for the sisters.
