Honestly I would not avoid Bastille is a great district, it is overly touristy and fake like Montmartre or Saint Germains des Près.
Now we can ask what want to see the tourists, the touristy Paris with the hollywood steroetypes or the real Paris, a multicultural city 12 million inhabitants ?

Thanks for pointing that out David, it should have indeed read close to Bordeaux.

Much simpler way to avoid the crowds for Mona Lisa – Check which night the Louvre stays open late (until 8), and show up at 5.

Unfortunately, I have done most of these things more than once. Climbing the Eiffel Tower was a fun experience, the Mona Lisa is absolutely NOT incredible (unlike the Egyptian rooms) and Nice… IS AMAZING!!

Then I stand corrected on the purpose of the article. Thank you all for the help

Yeah, I know, and that comment wasn’t a direct response to his comment. It kind of just tailed off into that.

I don’t think Zack’s comments make it sound like seeing the Mona Lisa is part of “ticking off a list.” It’s like he said, in “the spirit of traveling.” To be able to do what you have always dreamed of doing and seeing. I have seen the Mona Lisa several times myself, but I was never disappointed because I expected what I saw. We should never discourage some one’s heart to travel there and see the things they always dreamed of.

Zack: Paris is a beautiful place to visit during the holiday season. Usually the city is well decorated and great to walk through even though it can get quite cold. I hope your trip is a fantastic one! In regards to the Mona Lisa and the Louvre, do be sure to see the many other amazing exhibits they have like the article points out. I was a personal fan of the Egyptian one, I had never seen a real mummy until I went there!

Not bad points Zack. My suggestion would be to temper your expectations of the Mona Lisa. Most people walk away disappointed because they get all hyped up about it. If you’re an art and history buff, you’ll go see it no matter what anyone says. But I don’t think you should just go see it because it’s the “thing to do” while in Paris. Travel is not about ticking things off a list.
