PARIS Notre Dame Cathedral. A description of Paris from any viewpoint, soon becomes a battle of superlatives. One tries to describe her art museums, cathedrals, scenic beauty, monuments, music, educational institutions, hotels, sidewalk cafes, restaurants and her nightlife, and ends up at a loss for words. All this, we tried to take in over a short period of three days, and found ourselves scurrying around like mice. Some of us were fortunate enough to make the trip twice, and all fully realized why Paris is so loved by her country ' s inhabitants and by her visitors. A small part of the crew made the tour to Paris from our anchorage at Golfe Juan on the Riviera. The stories they brought back made them the envy of all hands, and furnished a lively subject for many a bull-session. Rather than go into further detail, the pictures tell the story of why everyone became so enamoured of Paris.
