Re: Cool stuff to do in/around Paris

You've said you've done most of the touristy stuff in Paris but have you been to Versailles? It is one of the most impressive but yet gaudy things I have ever seen. Get there in the morning, walk around, pack a picnic lunch and have it anywhere you like on the grounds.

I second Versailles. That place is amazing.
Orsay was the most memorable for me, barely remember the Louvre...

Yeah, if you're into history like you said you are, you may like Versailles. I thought it was pretty borinig myself. And it takes a whole day! Getting out and touring and getting back eats up the whole day.
I was in Paris for 10 days and I have to say my favorite things were
- the cemetaries
- musee d'orsay
- le metro
- movie theatres
- wine
(but then, I read "Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris beforehand and watched Amelie in France when it came out, so my experience was, a bit, influenced).
