If it's your first trip to Paris, get a copy of "Rick Steves Paris" and read it BEFORE you get on the plane ! He has suggested "walks" and even schedules for 3, 5 & 7 day visits. You can use one of his plans or create one yourself -- but plan your days BEFORE you get there so you don't waste a minute while there ! BUT, also be ready (and willing !) to make changes on-the-fly ! Remember, it's only a plan -- just to make sure you think of everything you WANTED to see. But as time passes, your "wants" may change -- go with it ! The WHOLE experience !
I went to La Defense to get some pics for my VT friend Juschka. I woke up on the early morning of a Saturday, as there is almost nobody in La Defense during the weekend. Indeed, La Defense is more a working place than an entertaining buildings-made-of-glass museum... Consequently, if you go to La Defense during the weekend, you will only meet other tourists takings pictures, rowdys doing nothing but erring in the Mall called 'Les Quatre Temps' and some fugitive ghosts usually called 'over the weekend workers', lost souls walking quickly from the exit of the metro towards the entrance of a building from which you won't see them getting out (unless you stay until late at night ... !)... What you must know about La Defense is that, as it is a flat, quite open and large area, the wind blows really hard, especially in fall and winter, and, when you have decided to wake up early to take some...
