    Getting TO/AROUND: Most of the times I visited Paris, I came by train from the Netherlands. Since 1996 by Thalys, an international high speed service between Amsterdam and Paris, serving also Schiphol Airport, The Hague, Rotterdam, Antwerp and Brussels. For schedules and fares, have a look at the website fo Thalys.

    In Paris the trains from the Netherlands and Belgium, including the Thalys, arrive in Gare du Nord. For travelling to other parts of France you have not only to change trains, but also stations in Paris. For the Thalys you need a special ticket and reservations.

    Getting TO/AROUND: I always like to make boattrips. It gives another perspective of the area and the city. In Paris are different possibilities for boattrips like with Bateaux Mouches from the Pont de L'Alma with trips every 20 or 30 minutes.

    Another possibility is the Batobus between Tour Eiffel and Jardin de Plantes, where you can get on or off the boat at 8 different places. There are passes, wich are valid for as many trips as you like during one or more days. You can buy these passes at each Batobus stop or at the Tourist Office. They cost € 11 for one day and € 13 for two days.
