Paris in September
Paris (pronounced /paʁi/ in French; /ˈpaɹɪs/ in English) is the capital city of France. It is situated on the River Seine, in northern France, at the heart of the Île-de-France region (aka "Paris Region"; in French: Région Parisienne or RP). The City of Paris has an estimated population of 2,167,994 within its administrative limits (January 2006).[2] The Paris unité urbaine (or urban area) extends well beyond the administrative city limits and has an estimated population of 9.93 million (in 2005),[3] while the Paris aire urbaine (or metropolitan area) has a population of nearly 12 million[4] and is one of the most populated metropolitan areas in Europe.[5]
An important settlement for more than two millennia, Paris is today one of the world's leading business and cultural centres, and its influence in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion, science and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities.[6] The Paris Region (Île-de-France) is France's foremost centre of economic activity. With €500.8 billion (US$628.9 billion), it produced more than a quarter of the gross domestic product (GDP) of France in 2006.[7] The Paris Region hosts 36 of the Fortune Global 500 companies[8] in several business districts, notably La Défense, the largest purpose-built business district in Europe.[9] Paris also hosts many international organizations such as UNESCO, the OECD, the ICC and the informal Paris Club

thinking, thinking,... oi la la
So we are off to gay Paree. I am sure it won't all be gay, maybe a little straight as well. We will be looking at where to stay, what to look at and most important of all what to wear and what to buy.
