Wow, I guess I need to finally see Paris before it's too late. I've always wanted to see the Louvre and Eiffel Tower.

On a side note, I'm worried about the Christian art in these places. Will the Islamic radicals destroy Notre Dam, the Pi-eta, as the Taliban destroyed the Buddhist sculptures? What about Britain? Will they again be alone to fight this?

You have every reason to be. Here is what Islamists have done in Kosovo, the place where La Renaissance was born:

The famous fresco of Christ - the Patron of Prizren The Church of the Holy Virgin of Ljevis before destruction by Albanians in March this year.

In the last 5 years Albanians have destroyed and damaged more than 150 ancient Christian churches and monasteries in the presence of UN and NATO troops.
