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. |

Hiya,
I've been to Paris several times, and have almost always had a good time there. Just don't go in July or August. I second the suggestion of the Musee D'orsay - amazing art in there. For the food, try any Brasserie that does not have tourists in it, especially near the Notre Dame. When you do get a table, prepare to spend the night there...order the house red and you won't go wrong. Ask for suggestions from the waiter and then take them. Be prepared for food you have never tasted before...be adventerous. For the hotel, try this one: http://www.selecthotel.fr/ It is a small hotel near La Sorbonne, and very near a Metro station. TONS of restaurants on Blvd Saint Germaine , walking distance to Notre Dame,e tc. Learn some basic french phrases - Yes, No, Thank you, Please, Excuse me, I'm sorry, and Do you speak english? Those phrases alone will make your stay so much better. If it matters, when people ask if I am American, I say I'm a Californian. It makes them smile. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Cheers! Peter |
