Ticket cost
A round trip ticket to Paris should cost around $550-700 for that time of year.
If you plan to take a connecting flight to Brest, tack on another $125-175.

Travel websites
Its always a good idea to check a variety of sources:
Travel Agent
I have an excellent travel agent in Los Angeles. They offer discounted flights with Delta/Air France.
For those of you that live in LA or Cincinnati, this is especially useful because Delta flies direct
from those cities to Paris!

Travel Insurance
Given the state of the American airline industry, you might want to consider purchasing travel insurance
in the event that your airline goes belly up. If you purchase tickets through a travel agent,
they should be able to provide you with information. If you purchase your tickets online,
most sites offer an option to purchase travel insurance, but you should verify the type of coverage provided.
