Outskirts Of Paris: Other notable castle shows, and new ones are added from time to time, are those of Chambord, chiefly a hunting scene entitled Les Grandes Heures de Chambord; Azay-le-Rideau (Les Feeries Nocturnes); and Vil-landry (Le Jardin Enchante), in a garden setting hardly matched by Versailles itself. The Chdteau de Vincennes, on the outskirts of Paris, is a more recent addition to the list of castles now enhanced by shows.
The Selective Shopper on the Prowl Paris is a shopper's heaven, especially if the shopper is on the distaff side. It is an expensive heaven, in these days, notably excepting perfumes, which are far cheaper in Paris than in America, but the cost doesn't seem to frighten tourists away. Paris est toujours Paris.
Some Nuggets of Fact The Paris busses stop running, in most cases* about 9 P. M., the Metro at about 12:30 A. M. and Paris taxis may legally charge double fare after 11 p. M. A transportation map of Paris is invaluable, and the price of one, at any kiosk, is only a few cents. |
