I wait for this with much trepidation. The last 2 years have gone from bad, 2005, to horrible in 2006. Now that my 'all things French' personal embargo is relaxing, I will return to some French wines.
How did you manage to go to Paris during that time and not spend money? I vacationed in Paris every year (in fact the family is going for Thanksgiving). There is no way not to spend money in Paris! In fact, it is probably one of the most expensive cities in the world.
