Dear friends are taking a Viking river cruise and then spending a week in Paris. I'd

they must have watched a bit too much PBS Masterpiece and got lured in by the ads.would love to go

on such a cruise. it's funny that I now think of PBS when I see anything Viking River Cruise

 
HAAA!!! Steve...I was about to post the same thing...you were way ahead of me smileys/smile.gif

 
Night light (very dark in cabins/hotel rooms, bug repellent, ear plugs, magazines, books

Prepaid phone card good in Paris, journal and pen (Papyrus has nice ones), luggage tags (always fun to have new ones)

 
An iTunes gift certificate. I bet there are some useful apps. Museum, resto, etc.

Also, I have a nylon tote bag that folds into itself. It has a little clip on it and I attach it to my purse or backpack. The minute I need extra room, voila! It's lightweight, just the perfect size, and strong enough I walked home with a gallon of milk no problem. I got it at Wallgreens for $5. Best money I've spent in a long time.

 
Well, if they are foodies, and Paris is definitely for foodies, there is an

assortment of guides that should be prized.

"Edible France"
Patricia Wells' latest
A French cheese guide...oh what could be better
the Paris bistro guide

Clearly, I am not referencing the hard copies but glancing at the old versions.

Tickets to Monet's garden in Giverny. A must see.

Oh dear, time for me to get back there again.

 
Wow...excellent suggestions! She is definitely a foodie: already registered for a 2-hr Cordon Bleu
