Getting TO/AROUND: Getting around by Metro: I love the metro systems here in Paris, its easty and safe to navigate. I would note that you should be familiar with the line and dircetion of the metro stop you would like to exit. Note the closings of the metro at some time around midnight. On my frist trip to Paris I purchased a carnat (10 tickets). Please hold on to your ticket stub as some station require it upon your exiting.

Getting TO/AROUND: Hailing a taxi in Paris is very easy and most convenient, especially if there are more than two people traveling together. The taxi drivers in Paris are very pleasant and most of them speak English.

Getting TO/AROUND: You may drive with a valid U.S. driver's license in France. In addition, it is recommended (not required) to carry an International Driving Permit or attach a French translation to your US driver's license. You must also be at least 18 years old and hold a valid credit card. There are several good car hire companies throughout Europe, I would recommend one of the following; ADA – 0825 169 169 Avis – 0820 150 505 Europcar – 0870 607 500 Hertz – 0720 903 905 The speed limit is 50 km/h (30 mph) in the towns, and 90 km/h (55 mph) on the open roads.

Getting TO/AROUND: Charles de Gualle Airport is one of the busiest and largest airports in Europe and every major (and minor ones too) airline have flights to Paris via CDG. Although the airport can be a bit confusing, transportation into Paris city center is quite easy. I usually only fly American Airlines into CDG as I am an elite member and with two direct flights from NYC, it's easy and convenient for me. The flight is usually a nice and comfortable 8 hour flight, with pleasant flight attendants. All of the American Airlines flights arrive/depart from Terminal 2A (Except flights to/from London which are in Terminal 2B). For information about which terminal your flight will arrive in, check out the website below.

Getting TO/AROUND: RER is a great way to get from CDG to Paris city centre. Service runs 7 days a week from 4:45 am to 1:30 am and the timebles are posted in the stations and on the platforms. Depending on what part of Paris you plan to visit, you will either take the A, B, C RER.

Janet, Paris is loveliest in May and every other month as well. Seeing your photos reminded me of the #1 gourmet dinner of all time I enjoyed at les Ambassadeurs au Crillon. oh mon dieu! Fantastique! | riorich55 Tue Mar 24, 2009 18:54 UTC
Just found your pages. Great stuff on Paris. We've just started posting our pictures of Paris and Versailles from last October. Can't wait to get back. Hopefully I'll have some videos with music soon. | Nemorino Fri Feb 27, 2009 21:57 UTC
Me again, coming back to have a look at the many updates and new tips that you have added to this page since August 31, 2007. Glad you are still just as enthusiastic about Paris as you were then! | tiabunna Thu Feb 26, 2009 02:45 UTC
