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,
You can't go wrong with Rick Steeves' advice on Paris. I agree with attempting to converse in your best french, everyone seemed to appreciate the fact we did not expect them to speak english. Almost everyone did (better english than my french for sure) and were very friendly if we attempted our version of french first. On my must do list: Tower Eiffel Musee' de Orsay, see the impressionist gallery, you need more time for the Louvre Arch de Triomphe. climb the steps to the top and enjoy the chaos from above! eat Pan au Chocolat eat Apricot preserves enjoy a prix fixe meal at a fine restaurant. I enjoyed a dinner in the Dordogne region with a different wine for each course. I think it cost about $6 million but I would do it again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) These are my personal favorites. Do as much as you can, plan ahead, and definitely eat and drink the best they have. Never had a bad dining experience. Oh, and I agree with SirAndy, do not order meat well done. My wife was convinced (first and possibly last time) by a waiter not to do so our last night in Paris. I think the waiter was afraid HE would be butchered if he returned to the kitchen with the order! Jim |
