So... I'll be in Frankfurt 3/11 through 3/14 and decided to take the bullet to Paris 3/15 and 3/16.
I'll get in around 10:00AM that Saturday and fly out Monday the 17th. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to put together "Two Perfect Days in Paris" What the hell should I do, go, see, eat? Looking for advice from those who have been or are there. I have my "pick" of hotels (insider connection): http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/parl...tel-la-defense/ http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/parv...-vendome-hotel/ http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/pars...rocadero-paris/ http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/pard...champs-elysees/ http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/pars...ference-center/ http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/parc...-paris-neuilly/ http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/para...gaulle-airport/ Thoughts? Can "The Collective" put something together? Any advice would be appreciated. |

Well, luck of the draw.....I met a 35 year old French girl while skiing. We spent the last two days skiing and chatting about France. I came right out and asked her what sets the French off that can make them rude and what we should do to prevent it. She said the biggest thing is someone making absolutely no attempt at French, for instance walking up and saying "I want a coke".
She said the few phrases mentioned earlier will get you far with the French and open doors along the way. She said the French are rather reserved people in general and typically don't initiate conversation like Americans do. She couldn't believe how friendly everyone was on the chair lift and how everyone asked where she was from and were so sociable. She said in France that you might say hello to the other chairlift passengers but thats about it. She told me "excusez moi, Je ne parle pas Francais......Parlez vous Angalai?" meaning excuse me I don't speak French....Do you speak english? will get you anywhere in France. She said most will jump to help you if you start like that. They know French is a difficult language. Eric, I hope this helps you and others thinking about going. |
