    Getting TO/AROUND: Walking is great and the Metro will get you about anywhere.
    Few days ticket cost 18 Euro, But as I use the Metro only twice a day In & Out of the city, it was cheaper for me to buy just 10 tickets for less then 10 Euro. One time ticket cost 1.30 Euro (Zone 1)

    Getting TO/AROUND: There are many sightseeing cruises options where the boat will take you on the Sein River. Unfortunately I didn’t have the time for such yet.

    Getting TO/AROUND: There are the usual tour bases to take you for all the main sights around in Paris, so far I manage to avoid those, well, as long as my feet can carry me ;-)

    Getting TO/AROUND: Airport Charles de Gaulle is the worst airport I have ever been to, sorry about that but it is really a sh*t one, slow and difficult to check in, crowded etc. I you can choose airport in France, try to fly to/from Orly.

    Getting TO/AROUND: The easiest to get out from the airport is by train, unless you need to go to certain location where its closer by the bus, so you can do this as well, there are many bus lines into and from the airport.

     I am also not a big fan of queuing. That's why I haven't been up the Eifel Tower since Wednesday, October 26, 1966. But maybe next year. My son used to live on the 28th floor of Tour Chambord, so we had some fairly good views from up there.

     No, never carry a water bottle. Wine is so much cheaper. ;) More info for the brewery needed. lol Hmm, shopping..ok, ok, I see what you are up to. ;> Beer, in Paris? Why not? :)

     I do speak a very basic French, but still my feelings about this place are mixed. Not so sure how quick I'll be with the page building - I'll leave some time to digest all Paris impressions.

     Interesting page on Paris with good tips, Gil. Why there is no warning about the beer?... As I am wondering... is it worth to go there anyway?:)
