Buying the Museum Card
by XKuger
If you have figured out that most definitly you will purchase the Museum card ( depends on whichever card you buy). The best place to buy this is at the Airport.. as soon as you grab your bags look for the tourist information desk... there is usualy at least one person at the counter. Most people there are asking for transport directon to get into the city and the line moves fairly quickly.
This is the best place to purchase the Museum card as well as the multile day metro card you can get two birds in one stone. Many..
The wonderful bakeries & bread
The fantastic views from the Eiffel tower / Sacre Coeur & Arc de triomp
Versilles
The Louvre & reniance paintings.
Beautiful Versilles
So many.. the list is too long.
The city of Paris has been...
by Luis_Alberto
The city of Paris has been inhabited since the third century B.C. Their first inhabitants were known as the Parisii, and they settled in what is known today as the 'Ile de la Cite'. Which means that Paris has been inhabited for well over two thousand years now. Through the centuries It has grown to be one of the world's greatest cities. Each 'quartier' of the city, has its own charms and sites to see. Therefore it is like having a memory for each district of the city, and what it has to offer. Paris is a world class city, and yet sometimes in its neighboorhoods life goes on like if everyone there knew each other pretty well, Paris has kept that particular charm, through the years.
Something different to do...

This maybe isn't a 'must', but the Menagerie is an interesting zoo. It is very old and probably not the best atmosphere for the animals. They live in unusual little wooden houses and there are cages like in an old fashioned zoo which allow you to get quite close to the animals.
All in a pretty row.

One thing that jumped out at me whilst wandering the parisian streets was the way the locals sat in cafes. All in a pretty row!
It is very common to see tables in the window of a cafe with people sitting at them staring straight ahead out onto the street. All lined up as if in the front row of a cinema or theatre.
I guess part of the Parisian culture is to street gaze and people watch.
Not to worry, if you are English speaking
by Pierre_Rouss
Not to worry, if you are English speaking, a lot of Parisien will respond to you in English after seeing you struggle in French.
Imagine... they often switch to English when I speak to them in French too. LOL
Or they tell me : 'Ho, vous êtes Québécois!!'
They manage to insert more English words in a sentence than me.
