Sixteen years ago, I needed miles to make my airline status, so I took a “mileage run”. A weekend in Paris near the end of the year. When I returned, I told my friends about the trip and that started the Paris Weekend Club. About five of us go to Paris every year for a “long weekend” (Wednesday through Tuesday).
We always go to see the Christmas decorations at the lobby of the Four Seasons George V hotel. They change every year and are spectacular. Also, if you are at the top of the Arc de Triomphe at 5:00 p.m. you will look in one direction and see the sun set and then look down the Champs-Élysées to see the trees suddenly sparkle with Christmas lights.
The Paris Weekend Club is really about eating. I can make recommendations from a tiny corner café that serves world class food to a lavish meal at a restaurant that is the favorite of Bill Clinton, Alice Water, ands Gérard Depardieus.
When I went to Paris in June I discovered that you can get in for free to the Rodin Museum if you can prove that you are an artist! I just showed my business card and it was fine. The museum is amazing with a few works that are by other artists as well as Rodin. But my favourite part is the gardens.

It's hard to decide what I love more, the coffee mugs or the goblin wrapping paper...probably the goblin.
If Sienfeld's "Unfrosted" ever actually comes out look for a little MAD cameo in it. ;)
