 There is a misconception out there that Paris is an expensive city. Sure, you can easily spend $1,000 for dinner at Alain Ducasse at the Plaza Athenee. A room at the Ritz can run you $750 a night. However, if you do it right, Paris can be extremely affordable even at these unfavorable exchange rates of $1.40 to 1 euro. See the blog for some great money saving tips.

 For many reasons, I recommend attending religious services while you are in Paris. Regardless of your denomination, beliefs, or motivation, I think it is an enriching spiritual and cultural experience to attend a place of worship while on your vacation to Paris. There is nearly every denomination you can think of in Paris. Take a look at the blog and I will tell you about my experiences of Sunday morning worship in Paris.

 There are quite a few flea markets all over Paris. It's a fun day to go out and see all of the unusual items they have to offer. The flea markets in Paris are much different than what I have seen in other countries. Bring cash and be prepared to haggle for the best price. However, items at Paris flea markets are rarely bargains. Take a look at the blog and find out about 2 of Paris biggest flea markets.

 Yes, I actually do travel to places other than Paris. Recently I was in Chicago. While I was there, I found that Paris is in Chicago. Really! The Cathedral of Notre Dame is in Chicago. So is the Arc de Triomphe. And there is a metro stop in Chicago and I can prove it. I have the photos. Take a look at the blog and you’ll see.

 Last Sunday, I had the pleasure of meeting Jill Jonnes, the author of Eiffel's Tower:And the World's Fair Where Buffalo Bill Beguiled Paris, the Artists Quarreled, and Thomas Edison Became a Count. It is a fascinating account of the controversy and hoopla surrounding the construction of the Eiffel Tower. The book has received fantastic reviews. It's an exciting book about a historic era in Paris. We had a chance to talk about Paris and her book. Read the blog to learn more.

 Thus far, half of the spots on my trip to Paris have been reserved. It only takes a small deposit to hold your spot, and if you change your mind by September 30, it's fully refundable. January is a great time to go to Paris. The airfares are at rock-bottom prices. The museums and restaurants are uncrowded. And the weather ain't too bad in Paris either. The price is right and it's great fun to travel with a group - the Traveling Professor way. Click here or e-mail me at info@travelingprofessor.com for more info and travel to Paris in next January.

 Renting an apartment in Paris can be a great bargain and provide you with a unique Parisian experience.
However, there are concerns you should have about renting an apartment in Paris. How do you know you are getting a good apartment? Can you trust the person you are sending your deposit to? What happens if there is a problem?
I recently referred a colleague to Panache Paris apartment rentals. They are located in the U.S. just outside of Boston. They have been doing this for awhile and they have an excellent reputation. They have a wide selection of apartments, and the customer service is top-notch. The owner of Panache, Connie, is more than willing to speak with you regarding your Paris apartment rental needs and wants. On top of it, you'll get $50.00 off your apartment rental when you mention TravelingProfessor.com.
Check out the website first at http://panacherental.com/, then give Connie a call at (781) 383-6006

I thought today would be a good day to take a cruise down Canal St. Martin. Most people take the cruise down the Seine when they travel to Paris. However, the Canal St. Martin cruise is much more quaint as you cruise through some of the most wonderful neighborhoods in Paris. The cruise is about 2 hours in length down the tree-lined canal. You'll pass through 6 or 7 locks as people stand on the bridges and watch you pass by. It's a great way to give your weary legs a rest from all of that walking in Paris.
