do any of you guys that hae been to a hippo restaurant in paris know if you have to book and if there is an english site. my french isn't great
We ate in a Hippo at the airport. It's a pretty good size chain, I believe. If my memory serves, they had a menu in English. The food was better than I expected from a chain restaurant.
I've not been to these restaurants yet, but I know them because it's a well-know chain here in France. I've been to other chains (Paradis du Fruit, El Rancho, Courtepaille, etc...) and booking is not necessary.
Have eaten at Hippo Bastille because we had our grandson with us and they had seating suitable for toddlers. no booking. Turned out better than I expected. English decode available.
They are almost everywhere. At Montmartre we saw this streetmusician with his little streetorgan, at the Notre Dame there was a crossing sweeper disguised in hunchback pricking papers and other garbage and at lots of other locations we saw immobile painted "living" statues.
Nice entertainment for a few cents.
If you are planning on staying in Paris for a long period of time, and you need housing, aplliances, used furniture, a job, etc etc... You can check the English speaking community classified ads magazine called FUSAC (France USA Contatcs), available for free in many pubs, or on-line at www.fusac.fr
From May 17 2003 through June 15 2003, the Champs Elysees was transformed into a rail exhibit honoring 150 years of train travel in France.
The history of French rail on the one side of the avenue and the future of train travel on the other side. (Trains ranging from 1829 steam locomotive to the 2005 "Tram Train Avanto")
I was highly amused to see that under one of the bridges, this lot decided to open their own camping site. Well covered from the rain and I am sure a lot of wind. Also for a more central camping site you could not ask.
Warning, if you are going to Paris in the winter months, take very thick jumpers, it is freezing!!!!!!!!! Something to do with the Mistral, a vicious wind that blows down through France from Siberia (apparently!)
I'd also take chapstick cos I had hell of a job trying to explain "chapstick" to the shop assistant! Lots of film/memory sticks. It's so beautiful and with so many famous landmarks you'll be snapping the whole time!
