  • After a few numbers lol and some searching, we realised that this pass was not as good as it showed.

    Buying the 10 tickets for 10 Euros (saving the 0.30 cents in each one) was a better solution for us.

    But when using the RER system be careful as you can pass the zones lol and you should pay more, for example to go to La Defense you have to pay 2 Euros, and to go to Versailles 2,50 Euros

  • The one we say was at Parvis de la Gare Montparnasse

    Here you can find 50% reduced tickets for many spectacles in Paris with(mainly theatres)

    We did not attend any due to the lack of knowledge of the language

  • We checked before our visit that it was Monday the day it was closed (as we missed last year) and that everything was right. Even the receptionist of the hotel printed from their web page the information about how to get and everything (well you know my memory I forgot our Paris guide book at home LOL, as usual....).

    When we arrived, we founded that the catacombs are closed from the 1st November till may 2005.

     It sounds like you made really good use of your Paris Museum Card! I see you have signed up for EuroMeet 2008 in Karlsruhe, so I look forward to meeting you there.
