I have to see what a proud nation of 70 million thinkers, poets, writers, scientists, historians, leaders, generals, artists, architects, and bibliophiles has built over 2500 years in one week.
These are the people who pretty much invented whatever is good and beautiful and lovely in the modern world.
The University of Paris has been producing thinkers for almost a thousand years!
I can spend a lifetime just seeing Hugo or Monet.
All of these without knowing French and without a guide. The only guide I have are these three books.
Imagine the responsibility. Pardon me, Paris. I feel so weak and humble. But I will give my best.
Here is my plan. I will also cover the Pantheon, Montmartre, the Opera, the Arc De Tiomphe, Champs-Elysees.
The rest of the time, I will wander around the streets of Paris.
