The Jeff Show: Places in Paris

Moet & Chandon Cellars from Moet.com.

Between CES, Case IH, and the Bankers Life and Casualty meetings, Jeff's 2013 is off to such a busy start that he asked me to contribute a travel tip.

Now, I'm not nearly a seasoned traveler as Jeff; however, like any typical American, I find anything French intriguing. One of my favorite trips was a week in France. Here are a few of my highlights:

The Moët & Chandon Cellars (Epernay, Champagne): Roaming around this legendary Champagne's subterranean labyrinth is memorable, especially as Frenchman whip around the corners of the cellars on four-wheelers. The bubbly at the end of the tour is divine.

Père Lachaise Cemetery (Paris, France): The final resting place of over 70,000 people, famous residents include Edith Piaf, Oscar Wilde, and Jim Morrison to name a few. The monuments, famous stories and traditions range from impressive to zany to seductive. Unfortunately, I did not see any of the cemetery's fabled cats.

Le Quartier Latin (Paris, France): The Latin Quarter is an arrondissement (what Parisans call the different sections of the city) in Paris. Filled with affordable restaurants and shopping, it's fun to roam around or relax in one of the cafés. If you visit during dinnertime, you'll be able to practice your French with maitres d's who call you into the restaurants as you choose where to dine.

Jeff will be back next month with his usual savvy and humorous tips. In the meantime, what are your favorite places in France?
