I am taking my wife to Paris for our 25th wedding anniversary and her 50th birthday March 23. I have never been there, she was there for 3 weeks in college in her 20%26#39;s. She did major in French but really has not spoken it in 20 years. Anyone with ideas on how I can make this trip truly special. I%26#39;ve been a work-a-holic most of our life and am really trying to make this special. We are staying at Victorias Palace based on TripAdvisor info. Any help is appreciated,. I am not the %26quot;world traveler%26quot; but am a police chief so I am somewhat briefed on necessary precautions. Give some advice to a midwesterner from Wisconsin. Thanks!

I would take her out to dinner at La Coupole and make arrangements for them to sing happy birthday to her. La Coupole is the largest brasserie in Paris.

They turn the lights down in the restaurant and all of the waiters get together behind a huge (fake) birthday cake with a big sparkler on top of it. They roam through the restaurant singing happy birthday till they get to your table. Its quite alot of fun and makes for a huge surprise. I would love to do it some day for my birthday.

And tell your wife that she may be very surprised to find that quite a lot of her French comes back when she needs it.
