Hi
We are going to France in August and are planning a trip to Paris. Can anyone help with ideas on how we can fit as much in on one day!!!! Obviously we want to see the main sites and we need some retail therapy thrown in for my teenage daughter
thanks
You can see a lot of the sights on a river cruise, I love Paris and personally would decide what are 'must see's' for you personally we didn't go to the top of the Tour Eifell as my hubby was scared but I would have liked to, I loved Sacre Coeur and the artist quarter and the left bank also Jardin des Tuileries (spelling) we didn't do the Louvre as not enough time but that is somewhere I must go we did visit Longchamp and also Versailles and Fontainbleau I love Versailles both the palace and the town another must do for me is a walk down the Champs elysee and the Arc de Triomphe
Try and go up the Eifel Tower and walk along the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe. You may want to visit Napoleon's tomb at Les Invalides, and of course there is the Notre Dame.
The main two department stores are Galeries Lafayette and Printemps both situated on Blvd. Hausmann. Though there are lots of small shops dotted about all over the place.
I find the AA City Packs very usefull, they contain maps give you (usually) the 10 most interesting things to see,opening times and prices and lots of other info.
Paris is a lovely city with loads of things to see but it can be very tiring. I would buy a guide then plan my day.The metro is very easy to use. If the weather is bad there are loads of things to see indoors and if it's nice it's great just walking about.
thank to you both for the info. The boat trip sounds a great idea, and i will also get a travel guide.
