We did it -- we booked our honeymoon! We found a great deal and didn't want to risk the rising price of gas making the price go up before we booked it (er, yeah, {ahem}me and my wedding ticket{ahem} not like that ever happens). We're staying in an awesome location and we're going to be there for seven whole nights -- way longer than I've ever been

Take a daytrip to Chartres (the train is pretty cheap)--a true wonder of the world...

I've been to Chartres, in fact. I think we will at the very least go to Versailles, since when I was there the gardens were not yet open for the year. Chartres is probably pushing it though. :)

I’d recommend exploring the neighborhoods of the Latin Quarter, Marais and the two islands, Ile de la Cité and Ile St-Louis, if you haven’t done that already. Here are a few things a little more off the beaten track, but are really exceptional

Who's posting this? I'm very confused.

Thanks a lot for the info -- I actually know Paris pretty well, having been several times; my husband has never been, though, so I'm looking forward to showing him around. :) You hit a lot of my faves in this list already!
