Ever considered the Paris Motor Show as an occasion for glamorous event, one that you’d love to attend in hoping you’d see some great cars? That used to be the case but this year it was rather poor. BMW’s presence there didn’t really help the situation, as they don’t seem to have made too big [...]

Got your calendar nearby? Good, jaunt down the end of September as the perfect time to be in Paris. Actually, anytime is a great time to be in Paris. Moving on from the French capital’s appeal, if you’re there by the end of September, you’ll get a chance at being one of the first to [...]
