"NOT even the locals seem to know about a two-hour guided walking tour of San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter offered by the Historical Foundation. My friend and I signed up online. We enjoyed following our personable young guide as he found shade and resting spots while pointing out historic architecture, Wyatt Earp's old haunts and a couple of former brothels."
Gaslamp guided tours $10.

France: Paris hotel
"WE spent five nights at a gem of a small hotel in the Left Bank of Paris. The rooms are beautiful and stylish, the staff is efficient and friendly, and the breakfast room overlooks the Luxembourg Gardens. The location is convenient for a stroll to the Latin Quarter and St.-Germain-des-Prés areas."
Doubles from about $350.
