For anyone who hasn't seen enough reasons to come to Paris, here's one more: American Airlines' "Milestones" online guide to Paris for frequent fliers. Complete with requisite tourist accordion music, it is homespun-funny, and has some good pointers for getting along as an "American in Paris."Among my favorite lines in the video:
"Noter Dame? Football team. Notre Dame? Our Lady of Paris."
and
"The Louvre. Home to the Venus de Milo, the Mona Lisa, and those dogs playing poker..."
There are opportunities for photo sharing and on-line questions. They've done an engaging job of making Paris real and human, deftly balancing cliché with practical tips.
Maybe I'll send them one or two of my gazillion photos.
