Things I have noticed about Paris

1. Most of the city parks do not allow dogs. Most city parks also keep their grassy areas behind tiny fences to keep people from walking, sitting or lounging on it. In all our time in Paris we only saw grass you could sit on at Versailles, at the Eiffel Tour and in front of Les Invalides despite passing at least 20 city parks.

2. I can see why the people of France revolted. Everywhere you go there is some palace or garden for nobility only. Most were built in the 1600s and no doubt contributed to bankrupting the monarchy. 

3. The green walk signs at crosswalks are more like an advisory as people will still try to mow you down. 

4. Brunch in Paris is from 11-4. More like an extended lunch. 

5. Historic markers in Paris typically involve buildings built before 1600 or are related to the French Revolution 

6. There is a cheese shop every few blocks but all seem to be closed when looking for one.
