Going to Paris Thursday. Need suggestions.

Take the Hangover Recovery Tour on the River Seine by boat. You'll see nearly all of the major tourist sites..., well at least see and point at them

Seriously, it's worthwhile if you have a limited stay.

The Louvre Museum is a definite must see whether you are interested in art or not...and not just for the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo etc. etc...but more for the grandeur of the display halls and the sheer beauty of the collections. If you have the time, I would suggest at least a full day in there...of course if you are the least bit interested in art history... you may not want to leave.

 

Definitely the Louvre (check out 'Mona Lisa,' and see what you think), Notre Dame, the Latin Quarter and Montmartre (you can bump shoulders in the many cafes with students from the university).

Also, take the train to Versailles for a day trip. The palace and environs are magnificent, and you'll be able to see one of the reasons why the French Revolution came about!

"Let them eat cake"; in those days it meant bread. Thus, the wealthy got the "The Upper Crust' of the loaf of bread (considered the best) while the poorer got the rest.

As far as restaurants and clubs, stay away from where the tours go. Hit the places where the locals go!

Budda Bar is a pretty well know lounge/restaurant. You can try the Jules Vernes resturant by Alain Ducasse on the Eifel Tower although very hard to get reservations, book early.

Go see the Crazy Horse cabaret show.

 

Budda Bar and Jules Verne are great . I found it funny that a lot of fathers would bring their daughters to the Budda Bar. HAHAHAHA Enjoy

 

the Showcase, under Bridge Alexandre III. Alcazar lounge. The 6-7 (six-seven) next to the Champs Elysées. Try the resto of the Meurice Hotel. Sapporo Ramen for an excellent japanese canteen. The lounge of Concorde Lafayette Hotel, beautiful view on Paris. And......... PM amenasce

 

Dress warm

 

I'm taking my Gal to Paris Mid May. Where is the Crazy Horse playing at. Is it a hot show?

at least one trip to Cafe Deux Magots while in Paris.
attend a mass at Notre Dame (regardless of religious affiliation).
stroll through the bird market on Ile de la cite right afterwards (only held Sundays).
short day trip to Giverny.

Bon voyage

 

Check out the Flea Market as well.

 

pershing hall....google it.

 

La tour Montparnasse has a bar on top with excellent views of Paris (only skyscraper in the city).

 

I went to a club called black callavados or something to that extent....best nightclub I've ever been in. I've been to Ibiza,LA,Cannes nothing compares to Black Cala-whatever

 

The you haven't been to Ibiza...

 

my favorite museam was the Musee d'Orsay (Monet, Van Gogh, etc.)

lots of little bars near Bastille that were somewhat off the beaten path and not as toursity or "cliche" as the Buddha Bar.

enjoy!

 

....best nightclub I've ever been in.

That just means you found a French Maid in one of those little outfits that night.

 

I did the same thing and booked the trip mid june and my girl was the one suggesting that we check out a cabaret show! I plan to take in as many galleries as possible and check out some of the cafes and restaurants that some of the famous artist greats frequented. My better half just intends to shop; my artist to her consumer! LOL

 

Wear this to ensure prompt and courteous service in restaurants.
