How do i take advantage of swiss pass for travelling from Paris to bern/basel/geneva?
Is swiss pass applicable on intercity trains in swiss?
thanks and have nice day.
The Swiss Pass only covers travel in Switzerland. You cannot use it in France, even if the train is going to Switzerland.
You can see what the pass covers here;

We took the RER train from the CDG airport to Gare du Nord, excellent service, and without a hitch transfered to the underground which took us directly to the Hotel. No standing around waiting for public transport, very efficient service. All the stations were litter free, and individually designed.
IF U LOVE SOMEONE
Shakespeare:
if you love someone,
Set her free ....
If she ever comes back, she's yours,
If she doesn't, here's the poison, suicide
yourself for her.
Optimist:
If you love someone,
Set her free ....
Don't worry, she will come back.
Suspicious:
If you love someone,
Set her free ....
If she ever comes back, ask her why.
Impatient:
If you love someone,
Set her free ....
If she doesn't comes back within some time forget her.
Patient:
IF you love someone,
Set her free ....
If she doesn't come back, continue to wait until she comes back.
Playful:
If you love someone,
Set her free ....
*If she comes back, and if you love her still,
set her free again, repeat*
Biologist:
If you love someone,
Set her free, She'll evolve.
Statisticians:
If you love someone, Set her free,
If she loves you, the probability of her coming
back is high If she doesn't, the Weibull
distribution and your relation was improbable anyway.
Salesman:
If you love someone,
Set her free ....
If she ever comes back, deal!
If she doesn't, so what! "NEXT".
Insurance agent:
If you love someone,
Show her the plan ....
If she ever comes back, sign her up,
If she doesn't, keep follow up with her and never give up!
Physician:
If you love someone,
Set her free ....
If she ever comes back, it's the law of gravity,
If she doesn't, either there's friction higher than the force or the angle
of collision between two objects did not synchronize at the right angle.
Mathematician:
If you love someone,
Set her free ....
If she ever comes back, 1 + 1 = 2 (peanut!),
If she doesn't, Y = 2X - log(0.46Y^2 + (cos(52/34X)) x 5Y^(-0.5)c) where c
is the infinite constant of no turning point.
Nowadays' style:
If You Love Someone,
Set it free,
If It Comes Back, It is Yours
If It Doesn't, Hunt it Down and Kill It...!!! OR
PERHAPS REPORT TO IMMIGRATION THAT SHE/HE IS AN ILLEGAL
If you love someone
WHY IN THE FIRST PLACE SET HER FREE??? CARELESS IDIOT!!!

Everyone who has travelled to Paris knows how difficault it is to find a nice toilet when you need one...well. look no futher than the nearest parking lot! Vinci, the company that runs the parking lots in Paris, has 131 underground parking lots all over the city. You will know they are there by the blue and white "P" sign.
Find the stairway that takes you down into the parking lot. DO NOT walk down the auto ramp...this is very dangerous since they are very narrow and curved so drivers can't see you. You will find toilets either on a stairwell landing or just off the stairwells in the parking area, usually on the -1 level. They are generally clean.
And as a bonus, you can enjoy the piped in music or sound of birds chirping and / or perfume of the parking structure!
My observations on what people were wearing:
real honest-to-god cowboy boots or fashion-statement boots a la Robert Altman’s film Ready to Wear (Pret-a-Porter). Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get any photos of the cowboy boots - pity. As always, you can find boots of all kind during the winter months worn by Parisians. This is what some of the cool suede boots looked like this winter.
Again, enjoy the "fashion photos"!
