This is a bizaare thread. As someone who has been Paris a dozen times and several of those visits in the august, this is one of the best cities in the world to visit. I highly recommend extending your stay around the meeting to enjoy the many tourist attractions. Great food, great musueums, just walking the streets. Get a few good guide books. I just hope I can get support to attend this meeting.
