Just be careful not to roll over any dog poop on hour one... would make for a stinky tour through the city of lights.

Cadaverous Pallor · 06-28-2005, 12:57 PM

Wait a minute, the evening tour was at 6:30, correct? So we'd be on them until 11:30pm? Hmmm.

Welcome to Paris. Dinner hour in Paris usually isn't until 9 or 10PM. It's not called the City of Lights for nothing, it's a late night town.

We never finished eating until at least Midnight.

And, MP is right. Merde du Chien est PU.

We have at least one Hotel Costas CD (there's more to own). We also have one from Man Ray. Buddah Bar has about 6 or 7, I think and I don't think we have any.

Segway tour of Paris...booked and paid for

Hotel in Paris...booked. It ain't the fanciest of places, but when I say "in Paris", I mean in Paris. This place is just 100 meters from the Louvre, and it's only €81 ($100) a night! I keep trying to figure out what's wrong with it, but tripadvisor.com has a litany of great reviews (that all say basically the same thing...it ain't fancy, but it's clean, the people are friendly, it's cheap, and holy crap what a location!). So, umm, score.

Next items to take care of, getting the Paris Visite pass (public transportation pass) and Paris Museum pass (being 100 meters from the Louvre, I suspect we might be using that...). Geez, with nearly 4 months until we leave, if I keep this up by the time we get there, everything will be prepaid!

You can get the Paris Visite pass at the train station in DLRP. No need to have another thing to keep track of and it's the same price.

Ghoulish Delight · 06-29-2005, 10:54 AM

Yeah, I was just noticing that. Since we'll have a couple days at the resort with no transportation need, we can take our time and make the necessary decissions while we're there. I also see that Versailles is in zone 5 (same zone as DLRP), so that makes a day trip out there very possible. Yay!

Oh! *DO* see Versailles if possible! And make sure you check out Marie-Antoinette's little village where she frolicked with perfumed sheep.

Hey! I've got a really great, if a bit dry, biography of Marie Antoinette that I finished a few months ago. Sophia Copola is making a film out of the bio, which is what led me to it in the first place. The book is a great snapshot of of the period leading up to the revolution. MUCH more interesting than the American version IMHO. Anyways, Chris isn't reading it yet if you're interested.
