I want to travel from Charles de Gaulle to Rue Saint Maur. It has a metro station. Should I take the metro with my 3 friends or hire a shuttle. Any idea of the prices involved? Time involved? Is the metro quicker?
Rue Saint Maur is quite long and the Metro station by the same name is at one end. About 15 minutes from end to end walking.
Have you tried keying into the Paris travel planner your route with exact address ?

Sit in Tulleries Gardens on Sunday afteroon, near one of the fountains where kids sail toy boats, with your back to the Louvre. Look toward the Arc de Triomphe, past a 2300 year old obelisk, at the the end of the Champs de Ellyses. Then let your gaze wander to the left to the Eiffel Tower. There is no other place like this in the world. Around every corner was a photo opportunity.
As decided so done. Now we are looking at L'Arc de Triomphe. You need to speek perfect in the local tongue - if you want relationship with the citizens of Paris. So everybody say 'L'ARC de TRIOMPHE' - no no NO - not good enough - once again - ..... nope .... forget it. You will never be able to speak and pronounce it so that you will be understood. Well, .. anyway one can spend the time in looking at all the fantastic buildings in Paris.

C'est après avoir gravi les 1710 marches qui menaient alors au troisième étage de la Tour qu'il déploie le drapeau français, salué par 21 coups de canon.

The Tower Eiffel will remain the highest monument of the world until the construction in New York of the " Chrysler Building " in 1930.
There isn't a whole lot you can do about the preponderance of smoke in Parisian cafes and restaurants. You can consult the website below for some advice on restaurants with non-smoking areas as well as smoke-free restaurants.

The irony of this photo is that the young man with a cigarette in his hand is exiting the medical school just across from Hotel du Danube in the 6e!
A great little street with quirky shops and lots of activity.
Combine with a walk back from the catacombs or Pantheon?
Not too far to walk from our hotel on Rue Des Ecoles but there is a metro stop at Place Monge or Censier Daubenton nearby too.
Google map it - it's great fun!
