Reached Paris: The Selective Shopper on the Prowl Paris is a shopper's heaven, especially if the shopper is on the distaff side. It is an expensive heaven, in these days, notably excepting perfumes, which are far cheaper in Paris than in America, but the cost doesn't seem to frighten tourists away. Paris est toujours Paris.
ALTITUDES need cause little concern in Europe. Only in some of the loftiest points of the Alps, reached paris by cogwheel railway or tele-ferique will it be at all threatening to the average tourist who doesn't aspire to be a mountain climber. The Jungfraujoch in Switzerland, near Interlaken, is 11,340 feet above sea level and is reached paris, miraculously it seems, by a cogwheel rail line climbing by its own bootstraps, largely through an ascending tunnel. This is the highest point in Europe reached paris by rail. Plan Rosa, reached paris by aerial cableway from near Breuil in Italy, is 11,600 feet aloft and other peaks reached paris mechanically from there and from near Courmayeur are nearly as high. The Zugspitse in Bavaria is another of these skyscraping points, but all such peaks should be avoided, however reluctantly, by those whose physicians so advise.
Some Nuggets of Fact The Paris busses stop running, in most cases* about 9 P. M., the Metro at about 12:30 A. M. and Paris taxis may legally charge double fare after 11 p. M. A transportation map of Paris is invaluable, and the price of one, at any kiosk, is only a few cents. |
