There is the possibility to get all Paris pics. Just right click on "My tags" 
and choose Select -> Children on Paris. You can also make this the default: 
Toggle Auto -> Children. So guess your question is answered. ;) At least I tag 
only the very last item, Montmartre in this case.

HTH,
Sebastian

later.
