This probably doesn't work on other than IE5.5+ This is an experiment using some Paris data as an example. It is not expected to work in other than IE5+ at the present time. `Sweet Spot' on each index card should now be the whole card. Border should change color when selected, and cards should be movable. Moving with left mouse button leaves card on top, moving with right mouse button leaves card under other cards. Comments are Welcome. |
| Petit Nicois |
| Paris Restaurant |
| Tucked away in 7th not far from Tour Eiffel. This place has a good Boulliabaise, and a nice simple Grilled Chicken. Reasonable prices. Not particularly cute, but sort of in an interesting area around Rue Cler. |

| L'Ami Louis |
| Paris Restaurant |
| Given your love of the Clintons you may want to pass on a favorite of theirs, but I love it. Best $150 chicken in the world. Unbelievable $50 Foie Gras (last time I was there it was $50, and that's a good while ago). But you have the feeling that Napoleon III may drop in anytime. |

| Musee d'Orsay |
| Paris Museum |
| The best. Take an early lunch (11:45 to 12:00, no Frenchman would ever be caught eating then) in the Museum's resturant. Glorious. |

| Musee Marmottan |
| Paris Museum |
| This is a Jewel. Lots of Mary Cassatt---a good Philadelphia Collection. It's small, the house itself is beautiful and both you and Paige will love it. Don't miss the Monets in the basement. |

| Louvre |
| Paris Museum |
| Don't miss the sculpture Garden. Also the Royal Apartments. They were designed for you, and I might suggest you just move in (and invite your friends to visit). |

| St. Chapelle |
| Paris Sights |
| The Jewel of the Royal French. On Ile de la Cite not far from Notre Dame. |
| Unknown |
| Sacre Cour |
| Paris Sights |
| Do on a nice clear day, as view out over Paris is better than the view inside the Church. Quirky part of town to wander around. Wildly touristy, but so what? |
| Unknown |
| Pere Lachaise |
| Paris Sights |
| It sounds crazy, but this cemetery is a wonderful place full of great old crypts, odd memorial statues and touching tributes. Also artists ranging from Chopin to Jim Morrison. Oddly relaxing. |

| Musee Picasso |
| Paris Museums |
| You have to be a real Picasso fan, but since I am, it works for me. |
| Unknown |
| Centre Pompidou |
| Paris Museums |
| I think I'd go to Musee d'Orsay twice before I went to Pompidou once, but the area is interesting (it was the old food market---Les Halles) and there are a few things in the modern collection worth seeing. By in large it is an experiment if French Modern architecture that failed. |

| Opera |
| Paris Shopping Areas |
| Contrary to our expectations, shopping at Place de la Opera was wonderful, particularly at Zara, but also up and down the block. |
| Unknown |
| Grands Magazins |
| Paris Shopping Areas |
| The great department stores, Galleries Lafayette and Au Printemps are swell. One has a great zingy `kids' (Paige Age) shop on top floor. |
| Unknown |
| Bon Marche |
| Paris Shopping Areas |
| Another shopping area over in the 6th/7th. Lots of good stores. Many on and off Boulevard Raspail. |
| Unknown |
| St. Germain |
| Paris Shopping Areas |
| The heart of the `Left Bank'. Swell for shopping and sightseeing. Do the obligatory stop for coffee/drink across from the Church. |
| Unknown |
| The 16th |
| Paris Shopping Areas |
| After visiting the Musee Marmottan, wandering around the 16th (Rue de la Pompe, Av. Victor Hugo, ...) is nice shopping. Franck et Fils is a nice high-line department store. |
| Unknown |
| Le Marais |
| Paris Shopping Areas |
| I love wandering around the back streets of Le Marais. Trendy futuristic shops run by some of tomorrow's great successes mixed in with lots of tommorrow's failures. |
| Unknown |
| Faubourg St. Honore |
| Paris Shopping Areas |
| Everbody expensive in the world. Spend $4,000 or $5,000 for a nice litte dress at Hermes. Visit the other shops you love so much. Bring $ |

| Ile de la Cite |
| Paris Food Areas |
| Visit Berthillion for Ice Cream. Visit Notre Dame to Save your Soul. |

| Rue Cler |
| Paris Food Areas |
| Near the Hotel de la Bourdonnais is Rue Cler. It is a classic French `Market Street'. We often overeat so badly that one meal of roast chicken, bread, cheese and wine eaten in the Champ de Mars by the Eiffel Tower, or in the Hotel Room, is wonderful. |
| Unknown |
| St. Michel |
| Paris Food Areas |
| There are countless little streets full of touristy little resturants that ought to be full of `kids' just Paige's age at this time of year. Food won't likely be particularly good, but something might attract. |
| Unknown |
| Le Procope |
| Paris Food Areas |
| Another tourist spot that I happen to like anyway. |
| Unknown |
| Parc Monceau |
| Paris Parks |
| Antonia's favorite Paris Parc. She wants an apartment overlooking it so she can watch her children play among the wonderful architectural whimsies. |
| Unknown |
| Butte Chaumont |
| Paris Parks |
| Baron Haussman took over a garbage dump, installed a 300 foot mountain and a lake, and created a wonderful, if bizzare, Parc up in the North West part of Paris. |
| Unknown |
| Parc Montsouris |
| Paris Parks |
| A nice Parc with a very colorful dining pavillion. Food isn't good, but it sure is a pretty place on a nice day. |
