But THE LONG ROOM at Purdey's is something not to be missed. IMHO

I don't know about gun shops but if I ever make it to Paris I am visiting the Pantheon to visit the grave of Lagrange.

Go to the Lido as well. It is on the Champs near the Arch. Do the dinner show. Fantastic and the ladies are drop dead gorgeous!

Go to Montmartre, climb the stairs, walk past the church and through the square.
The oldest Boulangerie in Paris is in the southwest corner of the square. There I purchased an apple tart that was hands down the best thing I ate while in France. |

Thank you all for the great advice and recommendations. I used o go to Paris quite often but on business and apart from jogging along the cobblestone streets in the older section of the city, I never took much personal time to tour. Shame on me during all those years. But now it's pure pleasure. As for London, thank you Edgar, but while Purdey's may be a bit 'stuffy' , I'm not going there to make friends with their staff but to see their collection of guns and perhaps purchase some small item with their name on it. (and pick up their catalog). I will visit the other gunmaker shops to be sure.

That's correct Edgar, Purdey's hours are M-F from 9m am to 5:30 pm. We will be in London on Thursday and Friday. I plan to make the rounds of the gun shops on Friday 6/13. We've got it covered. After a period of uncontrollable drooling, I'll probably leave with a pair of snap caps!

It would be hard for me to visit Paris again and not go to the Louve---even for a quick look at the Mona Lisa, Winged Victory and the Venus de Milo
