I was thinking about that this weekend. I haven't, and might not see it even if I visit Paris. Normal tourist things don't interest me. Think of all the New Yorker's who have never been to the statue of liberty. If I were to visit Paris, I'd rather spend my limited time eating at small cafes, drinking locally produced wine, and spending time with friends. I can experience enough of the popular things because they are so popular; I'd rather experience the city itself and feel more like a local. I'm also very interested in the quaint, nondescript areas of the countryside.
