They were so stressed by this behavior that they suffered from a high incidence of alcohol and substance abuse, divorce, job-jumping, and low productivity.

It's at once resolutely in step with the modern world -- mushrooming public WiFi coverage, superb public transportation, major architectural projects in the pipeline -- and as seductively romantic and gloriously historic as ever: the flagstones that the guillotine once stood on are still in place; the palace of kings that houses the world's largest museum, the Louvre, is still a marvel to behold.

Independent, intelligent reviews cover more than 300 restaurants, cafes, and bars.
