    :D

    Heading over at end of the month, the Louvre and the Eiffel tower are given!

    Any other recommendations? Has anyone done that Da Vinci code tour?

    When we went two years ago we went on a boat trip down the Seine. Don't forget to climb the steps of Monmartre :)

    Hi, put a thread here a while back and got no replies, so here are a few suggestions.

    Have a meal in Trocadero restaurant, sit outside, weather permitting and enjoy the fabulous view of the Eiffel Tower through the Trocadero(at night of course) and watch the Tower "sparkle" on the Hour.
    Take a trip to the huge flea market in Porte de Clignacourt, well worth a visit.
    Get a Good Map, Paris is huge....I would suggest that you purchase a metro day pass.

    You must take a walk down the Champs Elysees..

    And of course, you can't go to Paris without having a bowl of French onion soup!!!!!!

    Go to the sacre cour. The nicest church in Paris.

    I wouldn't bother with the louvre, unless you are there for a week or something. See the city not a museum!! Go around Saint Germain its such a cool atmosphere. Invalides is also a great little park to rest in in the city. depends what you want though. what type visit is it? What age are you? How long are you going for and how many people? etc. etc.

    I'd recommend getting on the train and heading for Germany.

    Better food, better beer and nicer people
