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. |

I lived in Holland for most of 1997 and went to Paris 3 or 4 times. Each and every time the people were rude, and the last time, my father's wallet was stolen within 30 minutes of our arrival. I was sure that I would never return.
However, my wife and I went back in 2004, and while on the train between London and Paris, we picked up as much of the fundamental French phrases as we could. It made all the difference in the world. Learn how to say "hello, do you speak english" and "thankyou", and you will have a much nicer time. Paris is probably the most beautiful city in the world, and there is much to do. I always go back to Jim Morrison's grave, but that is a hike from the center of the city. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Jim-Mor..._Lachaise_2.jpg You have to go up the Eifel tower and the Arch. Go to Notre Damme. You could spend two days just in the Louvre, but get a map beforehand and hit the things you want to see in 4 hours. Take a boat ride on the Seine. We picked ours up basically right in front of the Eifle tower, and it was a nice two hours off our feet. Get the one or two day subway pass and become familiar with the map and destinations before you go. Will save you lots of time. I have always wanted to see the catacombes, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Depending on your idea of fun, Amsterdam is also amazing. The Dutch are very nice and fun people, and even if you aren't into dope and hookers, Amsterdam is an amazing city. Have a great time - I wish I could get back sometime soon. Take some pictures and post when you return. Ken |
