June 2010 Paris Events
I rode my bicycle across Paris the other day and was reminded of what a true pleasure it is to be alive in such a glorious city! Paris has its own heartbeat, its own soul. If you love Paris as I do, chances are you might even breathe a bit easier when you arrive. The abundance of culture in Paris and the accessibility of this city’s treasures of art, artists and incredible musicians make my job much more enjoyable when helping clients plan their time in the City of Light.
