Excerpt from the popular travel guide, "Paris for the Easily Amused" (inspired by the utterly useless "Undiscovered Paris")

Secret #31: The tallest light post in Paris -- take the Metro to Rue d'Day Ouimet. Turn south. Walk three euros and seven degrees celsius until you find a narrow baguette. Go three forward, take two back. There, right in front of you, will be the tallest lightpost in Paris. Rarely visited (it's criminal!), this attraction is stupendous. The lightpost is 7 feet tall as compared with the normal 6-feet 9. Astounding. Budget 19 hours for this trip.
