   * [[https://www.louvre.fr/en/|Musée Louvre]] - Exceptional. You can spend days in this enormous palace. I hesitate to recommend Le Louvre to first time visitors. There is so much to see, and almost certainly, your attention will grow weak after a couple of hours. A visit is very fatiguing and quite confusing because of the enormity. Careful planning is necessary, and plan on a half day to visit.
-  * [[https://www.musee-jacquemart-andre.com/en|Mussée Jacquemart-André]] oops. **Closed until 6-Sep-2024**. The Musée Jacquemart-André has the finest private collection of art works in Paris, combined with the atmosphere of a large nineteenth-century residence. The Jacquemart-André Museum contains collections worthy of the greatest museums: works from the Italian Renaissance, works by great Flemish masters, French works from the 18th century. Short half day visit. The restaurant ambiance is amazing. Food is OK and expensive.

   * __Dinner Cruise on the Seine__ - no. Please do not. Bad food, bad service. Expensive. Why not take a cruise then eat at a good restaurant?
-  * [[Eiffel Tower]] - Um. OK. The only way to remotely enjoy is to buy advance tickets online and arrive early. Be prepared to wait, even in a fast lane. I've been there many times and won't go again. Sorry. Oh yeah. Summer of 2024, it might be closed. Check before buying an online ticket.
