My Paris Travel Articles

I love touring Paris so much that I have done two series of articles on this magic series. This series divides Paris's twenty arrondissements (districts) into seven groups, eight if you count the introductory article. The other series, examining each of the arrondissements in greater detail, is in our sister site, wineinyourdiet.com.

What are these Paris travel articles doing in these two wine websites? Why not take a break or plan your next vacation which can do wonders for your wine tasting, even if it does affect your diet? Our sister site wineinyourdiet.com discusses the French Paradox, that despite France's often great food and wine, the French death rate from heart disorders rests relatively low. If you read all the articles you'll learn about two (some say one but they're wrong) flourishing vineyards right within the city limits of Paris.
