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. |

Eric, go to a book store and get Rick Steve's Paris. Take his recommendations and you won't go wrong. Musee Jacquemart-andre is great. A walk on Rue Cler in the morning and a afternoon at Louver.
You can order direct from Rick Steve's as well. They are really fast at shipping. Order on line HERE Paris has mixed reviews on how they treat Americans but seems to be getting worse. The further you get away from Paris the better it gets. Try to remember to first "attempt" to communicate in French despite how uncomfortable you are about it. By asking them first to speak English without a word of French from your mouth puts them in the discomfort zone since they won't want to sound wrong (second language) Once the ice is broken with your blunder, it should go better. I think Americans "expect" them to speak English which perpetuates the problem. |
