Thanks Robb-o. I've actually been to Sacre Couer (also, it should be noted,
the location of the video for U2's "Two Hearts Beat as One"). You're dead

I believe the Pompidou was ferme the last time I was there, so I definetely
plan to cheque that out.

Are pickpockets/thieving gypsies really that bad over in Paris? I seem to
remember it being so. My mom just got her wallet nicked in Prague, actually,
and is now all paranoid about identity-theft.
