The roof of the Pompidou on a stormy day makes
a beautiful photo. Captures the history of La Marais and the
insistent moderne mindset in one exhilarating accent. My favorite
view, well on the top 10 anyway.

Can't wait to see your progress. I have never been to Paris, but I always like to know where the "locals" go - the places that are great but never make it into the mainstream tourist information that anybody can find. The hidden gems of the city that a tourist wouldn't think to look for.

Mass at Notre Dame was the definitive event in my trip to Paris. Visiting there at night was breathtaking and magical.
Plus the Louvre, plus the sidewalk cafes, plus Sacre Coeur, plus... well you get the idea.
I've only been to Paris once, and yet I find myself feeling homesick for the city. I was there two years ago this month and I would go back in a heartbeat if I could.
Can't wait until your apartment is ready to be rented! :)

I love Paris and I have had the pleasure of visiting there four times. I never get tired of seeing the same things over and over. The best advice I could offer is to get the museum pass and a metro ticket. The museum pass lets you bypass the long lines at the entrance and you can enter with the tour groups. This especially comes in handy when visiting the Louvre. Love the Metro - it takes you anywhere you want to go and it puts our MBTA to shame.

Please include some of the history of the apartment, the surrounding area, and the people who run nearby patisseries, cafes, etc. The stories are what I love so much about Paris.

Hi Cory!
I have never been to Paris (though I hope to visit someday)but I do alot of reading about it--David Lebovitz's blog is a favorite. I always like when he talks about places to go/eat/shop that the locals frequent--sort of the "real Paris." When I travel I like to ask cab drivers where they eat or hang out. I have never been disappointed to see a city from a local's point of view.

Corey, how lovely this all sounds. To go to Paris....one of my dreams! Everything you right about it makes me think that it is truly as magical a place as I (and every other starry eyed culinary student) has dreamed. Someday, I will come to Paris, I will probably rent our apartment, an I will squeeze every drop of life out of that guidebook, loving the advice of a Paris professional.
