'Mode': AROUND
Category: Subway/Metro
Getting TO/AROUND: The Paris metró-system is fantastic, with 12 different lines, including the RER (local train). These lines takes you almost anywhere in the town. The "only" problem is it's quite hard to find the right way in the beginning, and it's a easy to get lost... So, for all "first-time-in-town"-tourist, grab a map, and make sure it's a big one. Then you should be safe! The tickets cost 1 euro each, and you can use them for 60-70 minutes all over the town. However, whatever you do, don't forget the even better way to get around in Paris. Walking... With the metró you come anywhere you want very quickly, but on the other hand all you will see is dark stations... So please, leave the metró behind you sometimes, and take a walk instead! That way you won't miss the best parts of Paris!

'Mode': TO
Category: Car/Motor Home
Getting TO/AROUND: Say what you want about Paris and the french motorway-system, but the people who planned it wasn't the most clever in the world... I just love Paris, it's probably the most impressive town in the world for me, but I was just seconds from hating the town for the rest of my life! We went down, with car, from Sweden to Portugal this summer, and were really pleased with the fantastic (although EXPENSIVE) motorways in France. Then we came to Paris... You might think that they built the motorway around the big capital...? No way...! Instead you have to get off the highway, and find the ringway around Paris, to even be able to go on south in the country. Needless to say, we got lost. If it wasn't hard enough to find the right way, when we finally found it the way was closed... Could have killed someone right then and there... After nearly three hours, lost in the worst parts of Paris, we finally found the way out of the town, and I could go back to loving Paris again... But please, until the idiots have built new ways around Paris, leave the car at home on your Paris/France-trip!

You have a beautiful writing style, I think most of us hope to meet Quasimodo when in Paris ;-) | parismumsie Sun Feb 24, 2008 03:49 UTC
We made the long walk up and then by mistake went to the dome. It's a long story! Please visit my Paris pages to see the incredible view that awiats those that can make the climb. Breathtaking in more ways than one! | BeatChick Wed Jun 6, 2007 00:11 UTC
Ciao, Henrik! Haha - I did that, too, taking photos from the middle of the Champs Elysées on a traffic island. Someone yelled out at me "Crazy Americain!" Your Louvre Pyramide photo is THE BEST! | Artimizia Tue Mar 20, 2007 15:06 UTC
Just wanted to say I enjoyed your page. You are very funny! Keep it up! |
