Robert, thanks so much for that one. We just got a CD by Eric Bibb, who lived in Paris for several years, and it includes a video clip of him in what he says is his favorite guitar store in Paris, which is in one of those arcades but it doesn't say which one and we couldn't tell except that it's in the 1st somewhere. Thanks!

I added this yesterday not seeing this thread. Good idea bumping up. -------------------- this is another good website for information en.parisinfo.com/the en = english, don't know if available in other languages ---------------------- This is the link to the Museum Pass website. It is well worth the time to look at this site even if you are not buying a Pass. www.parismuseumpass.com Click on flags on left for language choice. it came up in English when I opened. on the left is information such as Point of Sale for list of museums/sights for pass click on museums and monuments at top. Then click on sight you want info on and it will open page for that sight. Click on Practical Information for hours. This will list all covered by pass. The Pass is available for 2, 4 or 6 days.

Sunrise/Sunset www.sunrisesunset.comscroll down to city (pick one in your time zone if your's does not show. to move from month to month you click on the next month (in blue) below calendar, you do this one month at a time, does not have an arrow to move to the next, then next like most calendar program. I found this when I wanted to know sunset time for Arc (top) visit and river cruise

Ah, so very, very true. It always amazes me that people don't use google as a primary source of info. Mez

Monsieur Google is one of my best friends. That's how I found Trip Advisor a year and a half ago. ;D

Tom's guide to Paris is very helpful, great basics & I like the way the topics are arranged. A good place to start.
