This is a wonderful time to plan a trip to Paris and/or France. The dollar is holding its own against the euro which makes lodging, restaurants, car rental, train tickets, etc much cheaper. There are fewer tourists due to some recent unfortunate events. Paris is just as safe as ever; just less expensive and less crowded! Take advantage of this and plan a late Spring or Summer trip there. Before starting the planning process make taking a few (or as many as you like) French classes a priority. Being able to speak French in France is not only enjoyable but can be essential in some situations. (i.e. buying a train ticket, bringing up problems in the hotel room, discussing the restaurant bill) We can help you to learn enough French to be able to navigate most tourist type situations.
