Paris in the spring would be a lovely trip.  We made a list of the kind of activities we could do for about five days to really get exposed to that wonderful French culture. Visiting the Louvre is a must and we want to set aside a large amount of time to really see the art work and truly experience the ambience, while our minds take in the wonder of the works’ of the masters .  We got an interactive map of France so that we could study it and make intelligent choices about how to spend our time.  A friend, who has gone twice, said that five days just won’t do it, and we agree.   We are hoping too, that the citizens of France will direct us to some little known but well loved places that reflect the French life style.
