Long Weekend in Paris
Hi all - I am planning a long weekend in Paris (This coming weekend actually), and was wondering if people could give me a bit of advice. We are a young couple on a tight budget - has anyone got any reccomendations of good things to do/good places to eat (We are staying on Champs Elyses). We already have plans to visit the picasso museum/gallery, the paris zoo and the eiffel tower but were keen to seek further ideas (particularly cheap restaurants) Also, we are getting the ferry from Portsmouth to Le Havre, and then will get he train to Paris...has anyone done this before? Any ideas on cost, etc. (I've looked on the net but not managed to find a confirmed price for returns). Any info/ideas or stories of your experiences in Paris will be greatfully recieved. -- dmurnagh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dmurnagh's Profile: http://travelforums.org/forums/member.php?userid=328 View this thread: http://travelforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=42693 This post was submitted via http://www.TravelForums.org |

We already have plans to visit the picasso museum/gallery, the paris zoo This is not a spectacular zoo, and I think it's in trouble at the moment. Go to Basel or San Diego instead! Your time will be better spent seeing something Paris has that no other city has all of which are described in every guide book. Good luck Bernard Higonnet |
