    La Défense: New and Modern achitecture
  • Tip Rating:
  • La Defence is an upcoming commercial center in Paris. It houses most important shoping complexes and most office appartments are located here. What makes it unique is the new concept of building design that vary widely from the old buildings you are used to in Paris centre.

    Versailles: Versaille
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Versaille is about 80 miles from Latin Quater or generally from the centre. Its better done by train as taxi would be unduely expensive. Though mid April is not the peak period for tourists, I will still advise you go as you already planned; that is on tuesday. This way you if you leave as early as 7am you can do most of the important tours inside the Chateaux. Then save another weekend to enjoy the outside seanery, including the water fountain. Versaille is not a place you can do in one day depending on the type of information you are seeking, the exterior/landscape is a beauty that needs to be explore in detail. Your hotel reception desk would be most helpful on further information you may seek.

    I wish you a wonderful trip to Paris.

     How come I never see you in any of these pix? We spoke many months ago when I was asking your advice about moving to Paris. It's now been 7 months I've been living in the city of light, I haven't looked back since leaving London!
