Paris - October 2000 Oct 14-24, 2000

I had a business trip in October, 2000 for meetings at ILOG's corporate headquarters in Gentilly, just on the outskirts of Paris. Although it was pretty grey and blustery for most of my stay, I still had a chance to tramp around some quarters of Paris I hadn't visited before.
