There’s kissing, and then there’s French kissing. Which is best? Which excites you more? No, don’t answer that – let’s try something else. Paris travel tips.
Which do you think would be the best way to see Paris?
As part of a tour; following a flag-waving guide around with a bunch of middle-aged men wearing white ankle socks
