Arrive practically barefoot and buy your boots or shoes here in Paris. The windows in the 6th will have you drooling. Decision making will be hard and the 200 euro models will impact your bank account hard but no worries, you’ll be hip and supercool for winter 2013.

The line snaked for miles in and around the courtyards of the Louvre and people waited patiently under their umbrellas to get in “gratuit” to the Louvre. First Sunday of the month is always free. Mona had more admiring cameras than eyes and flanking her portrait and taking way from her allure, large “beware of pickpockets” signs. Not a very gratifying experience. She’s even behind bullet proof glass now. What would Leonardo think?
