This is gooood...! and other Paris, France General Tips

Favorite Thing: You will find them all around town. These small creperies they seem to be able to squeezn everywhere. And they are popular for a reason. These pancakes are a delicious and fast meal, whether you're going for lunch or just a sweet snack. Mostly you can choose from a wide selection of combinations, and make them add exstra stuff if you're willing to pay for it. You'll watch them prepare your pancake right in front of you so this is fresh-made, and the best thing is that many of these creperies are open late-night, so you'll be able to grab a snack on your way home from the local pub... :)

Fondest Memory: My favorite combinations are pretty classic; Ham & cheese and the sweet nutella & banana

Favorite Thing: This is a general tip when you are booking your hotel-room in Paris...go for the view. It's wonderful to be able to enjoy Paris to the maximum...even when you are in your hotel-room. It's so nice to wake up in the morning...open the window and take a look at Sacre Coeur or the Eiffel Tower, or do the same before you go to bed. It just adds the extra feeling of being right there in Paris, so go for a room with a view. If you don't know the hotel before you order your room, you might just give it a shot and go for the highest floor you can get...the chances are you'll have a nice view :)

Fondest Memory: On my last trip I stayed at a very ordinary hotel...not any luxury at all, but I was lucky to get a room on the 7th floor and in the right side of the hotel, so for little money I had a wonderful view of the Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur, Arc de Triomphe and Tour Montparnasse even though the hotel was located near Gare de l'est.

If you wanna go for that exact same view...order room 65 at Hotel Grand de l'Europe :)

Favorite Thing: In a city like Paris you shouldn't spend much time on the Internet, but it's always nice to able to check your mail or VT, and there is plenty of Internet cafés in Paris. Some are a bit strange or 'home made' though. Nothing wrong with that, but if you want to find a good place with fair prices, look for the XS Arena cafés which can be found several places in Paris. There's one at St. Michel and another one near Panthéon too to mention a few!

You buy the time when you come in, maybe 30 minutes for 2 euros. Then you just find a computer, type in the username from the card you get and then type in any password. Now you are ready to go on-line and you'll be able to keep track of the 'time left'. If you end up with more time than you need, just log out, keep the card, and you can use the remaining time later on...remember the password though!

Favorite Thing: If you don't have dinner at your hotel and would like to 'stay home' eating some evening and thereby spare some money, ithe even the small Parisian super markets offer some good stuff. Go there and by some fresh 'baguettes' and some good-looking stuff to put in...and you can make your own tasty sandwiches in your hotel room, very cheap!

Don't forget to buy a pack of the french beer 'Kronenbourg' to go with it :)
