Favorite Thing: Musée d'Orsay
Fondest Memory: I nearly dislocated my shoulder when I tried to push a door open which had the sign "tirez" but didn't realize that it means "pull." When you approach a door, if is says "poussez" that means "push" and that's pretty obvious. If it says "Tirez", it means "pull." How can you remember this? Well "tirez" sort of sounds like "tear" as in: "to tear apart." So when you tear things, you "pull things apart." Remember: Tirez=Pull This picture was taken in front of Pho 128, a Vietnamese Noodle house in Paris'es chinatown near the Porte de Choisy metro station (on the pink, 7 Line).

Favorite Thing: I believe the Los Angeles New Wave band Berlin were referring to Paris in their song "Riding on the Metro." This is a picture of Reuilly-Diderot where I'd transfer to the 1 line to go to the main areas of Paris. During rush hour (6pm) on any day of the week, you may have to stand a lot and be packed in with people. You can purchase a 5 day pass at Expedia for about $45 which pays for your bus, RER, and Metro transportation. For all practical purposes, you will spend most of your subway traveling on the metro lines 1-15. If you purchase a subway pass from Expedia, you will most likely have to go to Gare du Nord Station at the Tourist Information booth to pick up your pass and useful map. I walked from my hotel on Rue de Citeaux all the way to Gare du Nord which took me about an hour and a half.

Spectacular pictures of the Eiffel Tower and the stairway of the Arc de Triomphe. I'm a little jealous of your trip, but I'm happy for you, too :) |
