re: Travel Question- London and Paris

Paris is awesome...you can read tons of books and info on what to do but Napoleons Tomb and Hôtel national des Invalides was so much better than what we were expecting.

One thing we were prepared for is how late it stayed "light". because it doesn't get dark until so late the "nightlife" doesn't start until late. Many things don't open very early so don't plan on early mornings and early evenings...just plan on late nights. We enjoyed early dinners then going back to our apt and snacking on cheese, wine and bread until well after midnight.
