Aimee -
Have an exellent trip. Bring back pictures if you can! I've never seen Paris - but I've heard it's lovely. I'm sure you're pretty excited as it is!

Even though you're probably gone by now, have a good time!
I just came back from Southern France. I'm really frustrated because I was there for 2 weeks and I went to a good number of different towns, but I didn't come across either of the French recordings of Les Miserables or a copy of the book.

Really? I was in Montreal earlier this year and I found a lovely annotated edition of the book in a little used bookshop... and I wasn't even looking that hard, because I already had two copies in French and one in English.  The recordings are a bit more obscure, but it astounds me that you didn't find a copy of the book.

What I mean is I didn't find a relatively old copy of the book, even though I looked in several second hand book stores and the like. Actually, in one shop a bookseller did show me a 1960's leatherbound copy that came in three volumes with illustrations and everything. But even though I don't speak French, I turned to the end and saw the names Gavroche and Courfeyrac and after checking some more, realised that this was not the complete version.
I mentioned this to the man in the store (he spoke some english) and first he assured me that it was the complete copy, but then after a few other people had gathered, he checked the book himself and then quietly sent me out of the store.

Hi, I'm home!! We had a great time.
Here are a few images of Hugo-land, but not as he would have known it.
Basilique du Sacre Coeur 
Op�ra Garnier 
Notre Dame Catherdral 
Eiffel Tower 
Champs Elysee, looking towards Arc de Triomphe 
I did go to Rue Rambuteau but didn't see the other road. [I admit I wasn't looking  sorry.]

Thank you for the photo's Aimee, I love Paris 
What's in the Rue Rambuteau? Is that related to Les Mis?

Fantine, I ordered the French recording through Amazon.fr.
If you're really desperate though, I bet I could hook you up.
Aimee, looks like you had a wonderful time! I went to France 5 summers ago, it was glorious. I only got to spend a day in Paris though, and due to jet lag fell asleep before we got to the Tour Eiffel. Disappointing. Glad you had a good time!

At some point during Haussmann's reconstructions of Paris, the warren of alleyways surrounding and including the rue de la Chanvrerie--where the barricade was--was torn down and made into the rue Rambuteau. The rue Mond�tour still exists and intersects the rue Rambuteau, so that's the closest you can get to standing on the spot where the barricade fell.
