Paris One Way or Another

I go through withdrawals when I don't get a dose of something French for longer than a week or two. Just as some people crave chocolate, I crave French things, from music to movies. The best remedy is of course a trip to Paris, and with British Airways' new Open Skies Business class you can fly from New York to Paris for $680 one way in 6' seats that recline 180 degrees (so you can lie flat) with the guarantee of a window or aisle seat. They even have a price guarantee if you find the same itinerary and class elsewhere.

If a flight is too much time or money, then head over to the Fonda in Hollywood for three days of French music at their Ooh La La event where tickets start at only $25; you can save even more by buying a three day package or combining your ticket purchase with a metrolink fare discount if you buy through ticketmaster. Some very famous performers will be coming here to perform, so if you can't get to Montmartre, let the artistes from Montmartre come to you!
