DUDES

The hot spot for boys out on the town. If climbing Mt. Everest is more of what your sons had in mind for a visit to Paris, it’s not too late for a workout, that is. For example: there are more than 1,710 stairs to the top of the Eiffel Tower, or 704 steps up to Level Two. Give him a chance to declare, “I’m the King of the World”, after climbing all the way to the top. There are 385 steps up to the world-famous gargoyles at Notre-Dame; about 270 steps up to Sacré-Coeur in Montmartre; and 284 steps to the top of the Arc de Triomphe. For a little less physical bonding experience with your son, consier a visit to Les Catacombes, Napoleon’s Tomb and the Musée de l’Armée. Or for maximum gross-out effect, why not take a tour of Les Egouts de Paris, the city sewers. Another alternative is to don a bandana and take a barge ride a la Jack Sparrow. Be sure to also bust a move with break dancers in Les Halles or star gaze at Musée de L’Air et de l’Espace (Air and Space Museum).
