Thank you so much for the kind mention. France is never-ending, but I understand your Paris obsession -- it remains my favorite city anywhere.
I've also taken the boat from Hendaye across the border and thought it was a fun jaunt. And I've been to all of the big cities you mention, with Strasbourg being a particular favorite. I was lucky enough to spend 3 10-day periods there on a professional study program; life there was certainly night and day different from the southern reaches I've gotten so used to.
