Few cities can even come close to Paris when it comes to cultural, artistic, and historic heritage. And few residents are as confident as Parisians in their expertise in good living.

An old travel mantra tells you to avoid Paris in summer, when its citizens traditionally go on vacation. Sure, it’s hard to get a dentist or find an accountant at work. But, to be honest, it’s the tourists’ Paris that the tourist is looking for … and the Paris I’m after is in full swing in July and August.
