Paris - day 4

The last day, after breakfast packed our luggage and went to see Notre Dame again, was not inside, just sitting around in the parks. Then moved to the Eiffel Tower, don't know why, just to see it again and we saw there a restaurant with quite acceptable prices and snails. We tried them, they were quite good. It was time to go home... :)

Certainly will come back one time to Paris, but in spring or autumn...

Paris - day 2

We started our day at metro station Cite, the weather was cloudy and foggy with light rain that thankfully stopped very soon. So, we wanted to start with Saint Chapelle, but missed the entrance and also missed Notre Dame as we turned right behind the police station towards Pont Neuf and then Louvre. I girl in front of us picked up a big golden ring, was very surprised, wha to say, we too :) Then she asked me if it is my, I told that it isn't but she was insisting on to take it. I told her that she found it so it's up on her hwat she will do with it. After few minutes later we have seen her doing the same with with two other tourists with more success. After they accepted the ring she walked away then come back and asked from them money on food or whatever and they payed in the belief of the expensive golden ring :)

After few hours in Louvre we continued through Tuileries park, Concorde, Champ's Elysees, Eiffel Tower. It was a long walk, but very nice and also successfull in geocache hunting (4 pieces)...

Paris - day 1

The last weekend we've been in Paris, so here are some pictures and experiences :)

We were flying 6:30 in the morning, so we had to woke up really soon. The flight was fast and calm. At Orly we have lost a lot of time finding out how to get to the hotel in Montmartre in the fastest way and first of all the cheapest, but nothing less then 19,20 Eur for two by public transport.

The Gare du Nord station made us think again how to find metro 4. At Barbes station I was a bit scared, it did not look really friendly. After a few minutes with a map in my hands a man asked if he could help with the destination, and he helped :) The hotel personnel was helpful, they were great. After this we went to find Sacre Coeur as we knew it is very close.





Be careful with the black people trying to force you to buy some strings for too much money, don't give your hand :)

Next we looked for the square of painters, a small idyllic place, fortunately there were not too much tourists. The place is nice but the tourism and business kills the art feeling.



Next we went to see Moulin Rouge, to tell the truth, it's in the end of a redlight street and it's really nothing special. As it was still light and we wanted to see it in dark, we visited a cemetery at the corner.
