Yup, it is. We were visiting M''s brother in Paris and he drove us up there for 1 day! He''s a diplomat so he drove fast, but we didn''t get to spend a lot of time there. Went shopping, took a boat ride on the canal, had mussels, fries and beer for dinner, then drove back to Paris. We liked it, just didn''t get to throughly enjoy it. The chocolates, however, were fabulous!
