Just my beloved and I for some much needed R&R. any suggestions? especially for reasonably priced activities and especially food?
 
All the Burgundy you can handle and bring me back a couple of cases.
 
No, Mickey, you're wrong.
The real Paris is only about 1/2 hour from me. It is just outside Brantford and is where the first long distance phone call took place.
So JP doesn't even need a passport.
Have a great time.

Dave :cheers:

Paris

yup, only 12 miles from Scotland
 
Yep, and only 7 miles from Boston


Dave :banana:
 
Yeah, but we have THIS !
 
I was last there about 3 years ago, and this is what I recommend. These are in roughly the same area and can be seen in one day:

1) The Louvre, but you could easily spend a couple days, or more,here. It's amazing, stunning, magnificent;

2) Musee de Orsay: arguably the world's best collection of impressionist art, and in a great neighborhood to roam about with tons of great restaurants/bars, etc. (St. Germain);

3) Notre-Dame: Napoleon was crowned here, and it's over 1,000 years old. History personified and maybe the most beautiful stained glass anywhere. Amazing place.

Also, I say stay away from anything that resembles American food! Eat the local stuff: it's very, very difficult to find bad food in Paris. The French take great pride in their food, and it shows.

Have fun, show us some pix! :yesnod:
 
Ditto exactly what Mark said.

Can't remember the specifics, but if you grab one of the typical guide books like Lonely Planet, take their advice and grab a train/metro pass for your trip. No need for taxis, just use the metro with great walks, etc. Eiffel Tower is of course a no-brainer too, but be sure to walk around there and check out the mini-Statue of Liberty on the Seine. You are gonna love the trip.
