Arrival at Beauvais <Font color="red" face="comic sans ms" size="3"> Being the nice brother that i am, i brought my youngest brother Kevin to Paris for a week at the end of last summer. Here we arriving at Beauvais, much further from Paris than i had anticipated. But the journey in was quite nice, travelling through the French countryside made a change from the journrey in from CDG. <HR width="500"> </Font> |
Finally we get to Paris! <Font color="blue" face="comic sans ms" size="3"> We finally got in to Paris around mid-afternoon. The bus stops at the James Joyce pub near Porte Maillot but as it was French culture we longed for, we skipped a visit to the pub and went in search of a cafe instead. <HR width="500"> </Font> |
Hello Ladies!! <Font color="blue" face="comic sans ms" size="3"> Finding a nice coffee shop in Paris is never difficult. <HR width="500"> </Font> |
Fawlty Towers!! <Font color="green" face="comic sans ms" size="3"> Next stop was our hotel to get rid of all the bags. I had booked a place online at the Aquarelle hotel near Place De La Republique. While you won't find any movie stars or celebrities staying here, it was cheap, safe and in a nice neighbourhood, if a little off the beaten track. <HR width="500"> </Font> |
View from Hotel <Font color="green" face="comic sans ms" size="3"> Here's the view from out window, onto Boulevard du Temple. I like staying in non-touristy places as they tend to have a real authentic villagy feel to them and you feel much more Parisien! The breakfast at our hotel was excellent - one thing i have found from my travels in France is that they serve excellent coffee everywhere. Whether it's a cafe filtre in McDonalds or an espresso in Les Deux Magots it's invariably excellent. I would nearly return to this hotel again just for the coffee they served every morning!! <HR width="500"> </Font> |

Excellent, tks Barry! Was looking for Viaduc des Arts in Paris but had forgotten the name... so I missed it. Should have checked here before the trip! :) | 11dana Mon May 18, 2009 19:42 UTC

Great pages. Your love for this city is obvious. We all have a very special we like to go back to every so often. I love the 'drunk' picture with 4 Eiffel towers in the back ground! | leecouk12324 Fri Aug 17, 2007 14:52 UTC
Great to see you can keep going back to the same City and finding different things to do - i did the same with Amsterdam - but last time also got away from City - went Beach - did some Sumo wrestling. Off the beaten track! |
