Wi-Fi a Paris

Now here's something to celebrate. No longer will you need to suffer the humiliation (or calories) of hauling your laptop to McDo to get wireless internet service when your paid Neuf or Free internet service is down -- or if you're just visiting and need your daily email fix.

Free Paree Wee-Fee is about to arrive.

The long anticipated Wi-Fi Paris project is set to start in mid-June, which by my calendar means sometime in the next week. The Mairie de Paris has published an on-line map, by arrondissement, of over 400 locations where free wi-fi will be accessible, from 7 am to 11 pm, in libraries, museums, parks, mairies, and more.
