  • Save your money and don't buy souvenirs from the Eiffel Tower, they increase the prices of gifts there to extortion.

    Alternative: Buy your gifts (or something for yourself) from shops in the streets or even at the airport - you'll save yourself a lot of money.

     Around Sacre Coeur huh? You should really check out the back of the Montmartre-hill than! And the cemetary there is pretty too!

     Paris : I think we have the same sense to take pictures, The Eiffel tower from Rue BsAs, the pic under the tower itself Greetz from Belgium

     Glad you had such a great time in Paris. So did I (but I didn't take the tour bus, LOL). I haven't read the Da Vinci Code yet, but two of the students in my English Conversation class have read it in English and one of them just lent me the book
