"Paris: Embracing Life And Art" - In this second of two episodes on Europe's "City of Light," we ride a unicorn into the Middle Ages at the Cluny Museum; take a midnight Paris joyride in a classic car; get an extremely close-up look at heavenly stained glass in Sainte-Chapelle; go on a tombstone pilgrimage at Pere Lachaise Cemetery; and savor the Parisian cafe scene.

Few cites are so confident in their expertise in good living - and as travelers, we get to share in that uniquely Parisian joie de vivre.
