Greetings.

My colleague-husband and I will be in Paris this April and intend to
arrange our activities there around a "math history" theme.

We would welcome suggestions concerning sites to visit around this theme.

Note that we interpret "math history" somewhat broadly: in addition to
schools, libraries and museums, we might include publishing houses, burial
sites and the odd cafe/tavern or two. Information on math history
seminars/conferences running in Paris during this time would also be
welcome.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Suggestions on finding an affordable apartment in Paris for a
one-month rental are also welcome.
