How To Pass A Day In Paris.

    • Getting To Paris:

    Most international airlines use Paris's major hub
    airport, Paris Charles De Gaulle (code- CDG), which is 26km
    North East of the centre. Quick, free shuttle bus to the
    airport train station with easy rail connections to
    central Paris (about 40 minutes).

    There are also regular airport express buses (45 minutes)
    to various destinations. Reasonable (if not exactly
    wonderfully low) prices.

    Getting Around In Paris:

    The most charming of Paris' public transport options, the
    underground Métropolitain (and its sister system, the RER),
    is a simply massive network. No matter where you are,
    chances are there's a metro station within a few blocks.


    Likewise, the public bus system covers everywhere, but its
    hours are laughable and don't even try to hop aboard on
    Sunday or a holiday. The Noctambus network takes over in
    the heavily trafficked areas once both the underground and
    the day buses go to sleep.

    Métro stations are marked with an "M" or with fancy
    "Métropolitain" lettering designed by Art Nouveau legend
    Hector Guimard.

    The first trains start running around 5:30am, and the last
    ones leave the end-of-the-line stations (the "portes de
    Paris") for the center of the city at about 12:15am.

    Hold onto your ticket until you pass the point marked
    Limite de Validité des Billets on the way to the exit. Do
    not count on being able to buy a métro ticket late at
    night; some ticket windows close as early as 10pm.

    Stay away from the most dangerous stations at night
    (Barbès-Rochechouart, Pigalle, Anvers,
    Châtelet-Les-Halles, Gare du Nord, Gare de l'Est). If
    concerned, take a taxi.

    Where To Stay:

    Hotel Manufacture -8 RUE PHILIPPE DE CHAMPAGNE - 75013
    Paris

    Located in the Gobelins district in the South of Paris
    just minutes from the Pantheon, this is the perfect hotel
    for business people and visitors seeking charm and
    quality.

    This elegant establishment, decorated with taste and
    style, is a pleasant blend of the past and modern times

    Where to eat:

    Brasserie Lipp

    151 blvd Saint Germain, 6e, metro Saint Germain des Prés.
    Politicians rub shoulders with intellectuals and editors
    while waiters in dinner jackets serve pricey à la carte
    dishes at this old-time, wood-panelled café- brasserie.

    What To See:

    Don't forget to buy the Michelin Map no. 10 (PARIS
    1:10,000) - an excellent map showing every street and
    alleyway.

    Eiffel Tower. This towering edifice was built for the
    World Fair of 1889, held to commemorate the centenary of
    the French Revolution.

    Notre Dame. Built between 1163 and 1345 on the Ile de la
    Cité, the original Roman core of Paris. One of a string of
    famous Gothic cathedrals in northern France, built in the
    twelfth and thirteenth centuries

    Louvre Museum. A museum since 1793, the Louvre started as
    a royal palace. It has recently (1982-97) been completely
    - and radically - renovated, vastly improving it. Worth
    visiting even if you do not have time to

    Arch De Triomphe. Built in the early nineteenth century to
    celebrate the victories of Napoleon's 'Grande Armée'.
    Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, with eternal flame,
