Paris is going to be a party. My wife and I will be there. She works there and has an apartment, so that's convenient. But we're going to a couple track cycling events later in the Olympics. I'd just make whatever out of it. Everything will be fully polished and shiny and clean (including the Seine) so seems like a great time to be there if you don't have to go anywhere or work. A madhouse yes, but most of the Parisians will be gone (or so they promise - I have a feeling more will stay than they admit.) But we are stopping in Iceland for a few days after on the way back to the states, just to cool off.

Definitely bring money for baked goods, as mentioned above.
