Correct! I think you've never been to Versailles.

Nope....never been to the Statue Of Liberty, even though I'm a life-long New Yorker.

In order to get the full impact of the Palace of Versailles, you might have to spend at least a few full days there.

^^Well done!

1) I snuck onto the Metro in Paris without paying.

2) I walked right into the Musée d'Orsay without paying.

3) I got busted at the Louvre for using a camera flash.

I would say #3---because you seem to have a sense of Art....and know that flashes screw up old art pieces.

Right again!

I had an unofficial "guide" (guy I met on the train) show me how to jump the stiles at the Metro station before I even knew what was happening.

As for the Musée d'Orsay, the workers were on strike, so they just opened the doors and let everyone walk right in!

1) I once found myself hanging from a shed roof by a very skinny rope.
2) I've fallen out of trees many times but have never broken a bone.
3) I used to "escape" through my bedroom window by climbing down a plum tree.

A very good try, but #1 was my lie. I was actually hanging from the roof by a vacuum cleaner cord. (Horrible friction burns...)

1. I was pulled over for speeding on the A13 towards Paris in France.

2. The rental car company took out about $1,200 from my credit card as "collateral."

3. I managed to find parking about three blocks from the Arc De Triomphe.

'

I don't know who Patrick or Ian are, so I'll vote Nicole.

1. I'm a little tipsy after an evening out :)
2. I heard The Monks, Johnny B. Rotten tonight and actually danced a bit!!
3. Unfortunately, I need to get up early in the morning

#1. Patrick Stewart.

He was the captain on Star Trek, the Next Generation.

Right! He is also a consummate stage actor, but I've never had the pleasure. Ian McKellen played Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

Isabella--I'm guessing #3

You're right, 3 was my lie. Thank goodness!
When did you see Nicole Kidman?
