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. |

QUOTE Not a good idea to " pretend " you are Canadian, they will find out very quickly you are not and they will show you the definition of rude in a heartbeat. Agreed... besides; I'm proud to be an American. I've also traveled abroad. I understand why some people feel the way they do about Americans but, I'm not about to let that prejudice my behavior. I will do my very best to learn some of the language and the culture. I will enjoy France and the French. |

Spoke the language pretty well through Fre-Eng dictionary. Saying Bonjour to a woman and have her spit at me and say f$#%ing American is rude no matter how you look at it anywhere in the world. It is not all French people, I went to college in Liverpool England and one of my best friends there was a French exchange student. Point is, France has a lot of beautiful, cultural, historic things that are worth seeing. Be careful and respectful and you should have a wonderful time. Don't pretend to be anything. There are rude people everywhere, I just found more of them in France than any other country that I have visited. Having said that my wife has never been, and I will probably end up there again some day and hope that I have a better experience next time. |
