Landmark Of Paris: The broad main thoroughfare, running southeast from the square called Terazije, bears the name Marshal Tito Boulevard and is a very lively artery lined with fine shops, office buildings and cafes, these latter being allotted generous sidewalk space in the manner of Paris or Vienna. Among conspicuous modern structures are the Parliament Building, the National Museum (with very rich ancient and modern collections), the big National Theater and exactly one modern skyscraper, the 12-story Albania Building, which serves as a landmark of paris for tourists learning their way about.
The Selective Shopper on the Prowl Paris is a shopper's heaven, especially if the shopper is on the distaff side. It is an expensive heaven, in these days, notably excepting perfumes, which are far cheaper in Paris than in America, but the cost doesn't seem to frighten tourists away. Paris est toujours Paris.
Some Nuggets of Fact The Paris busses stop running, in most cases* about 9 P. M., the Metro at about 12:30 A. M. and Paris taxis may legally charge double fare after 11 p. M. A transportation map of Paris is invaluable, and the price of one, at any kiosk, is only a few cents.
