Headed to Paris... recommendations?

[jdc]

I agree Howard France as most countries has it own regions, customs and character all can be appreciated in different ways. I have toured the Champagne regions on a few occasions, keeping away from the major producers, great fun driving around finding little villages like Vertus and seeing all the smaller producers and trying the produce. The French producers we got to know think it is funny that Champagne is not normally drunk with food in Britain.
These are great guys
