Spending a day in Paris #3: A guide to the tops (by The Telegraph)

For our last taste of Paris, I'm sending you to The Telegraph (U.K.) for a recent update to its guide to the city. There are lists of the best hotels, restaurants, sites, nightspots, and shopping venues. The guide not necessarily the source I'd recommend if you are planning a trip; in its brevity, one almost feels it was written from a desk in London by someone who has never been to the city. For example, the Musée du quai Branly is one of the "top five sites," but Notre Dame and Montmartre are not to be found. We'll forgive the idiocyncracies, however; when faced with the richness of Paris, choosing a few glories is an impossible task anyway. And there's enough in the guide to generate some longing for a visit.
