The Argentian steaks in the Black Dog pub, along with the satanic themed puddings…best meal in Paris!! Not for the faint hearted<\/i><\/p>\n

Henry Berg<\/b> says:<\/p>\n

my favourite is Montematre with the basilique “Sacre Coeur” and the amazing view on Paris<\/i><\/p>\n

Alejandra Garces<\/b> says:<\/p>\n

In my opinion one of the top places to spend an afternoon in Paris is the area of Montmatre and Sacre Coeur. You have the beautiful white basilica at the top of a great hill overlooking the city of lights and plenty of local artists, boutiques, and restaurants. It’s my favorite place in Paris.<\/i><\/p>\n

Hostelworld.com<\/b> says:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Brought to the big screen in movies as different as Moulin Rouge and Am\u00e9lie, Montmartre is located in the 18th arrondissement of Paris and is the city\u2019s highest hill. Here you\u2019ll find the striking Sacre-Coeur basilica. Built in the 19th century, the imposing white spires of this important church tower over their surroundings. From all around Montmartre, you\u2019ll be able to get great views of the rest of Paris.

Arepeace Trosor<\/b> says:<\/p>\n

Greet with Bonjour & make eye contact upon entering a store<\/i><\/p>\n

Hostelworld.com<\/b> says:<\/p>\n

With so many excellent shopping opportunities in Paris, your main issue will be where to go first. If you\u2019re looking for somewhere with everything under one food, head to Le Forum des Halles. This is the largest shopping centre in Paris and has a wide selection of stores catering to all tastes and budgets. While you\u2019re in Paris, you should really try and check out one of the many flea markets taking place across the city. One of the best is the St. Ouen flea market, the largest of its kind in the world, which has been in operation for almost 125 years. Here you\u2019ll see antiques, clothes and much more.

 <\/p>\n

Go for a picnic<\/h4>\n

Samara Jabs<\/b> says:<\/p>\n

Picnic in front of the eiffel tower on the grass. Food to include baguettes, cheese and crackers, dips, pastries, strawberries some champagne and your set. I’d say nicer in the arvo to watch the sun set.<\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"7_109_9\"<\/a>Davor \u0160u\u0161kovic (pictured)<\/b> says:<\/p>\n

buy some sandwiches and juices and spend at least one day in some park…<\/i><\/p>\n

Hostelworld.com<\/b> says:<\/p>\n

With a large number of parks and green spaces, Paris is a great city for a picnic. Head to one of the many boulangeries (bakeries selling bread rolls and more) to pick up some supplies and then pick your spot in the shade of one of the city\u2019s top attractions. For example, if you head for the Parc du Champ de Mars, you\u2019ll get top notch views of the Eiffel Tower.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Save money with a Paris Museum Pass<\/h4>\n

Mohd Rafiz Yusof<\/b> says:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Get walking<\/h4>\n

Meredith Brannon<\/b> says:<\/p>\n

Grab your walking shoes and really take in the city that way…rain or shine! You can find some great little restaurants and pubs down side streets and away from the more busy areas. And if you get really tired and need transport…the metro(subway) is so easy to use!! One of my favourite cities.<\/i><\/p>\n

Hostelworld.com<\/b> says:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"8_109_7\"<\/a>Paris is a pretty big city, so while you won\u2019t be able to see it all on foot, it is a pretty good idea to get out and walk once you hit whatever neighbourhood it is you want to explore. And if you get tired, there\u2019s always the famous Paris metro system, which will take you practically anywhere you want to go in the city. Numerous lines travel all across Paris, but don\u2019t worry, the system is easy to follow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don’t get conned at Montmartre<\/h4>\n

Joel Baker<\/b> says:<\/p>\n

Don’t put your finger in the string…<\/i><\/p>\n

Hostelworld.com<\/b> says:<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the steps at Montmartre, you\u2019ll come across a bunch of guys standing around with coloured laces which have a hole in them. You\u2019ll be asked to \u2018put your finger through the hole\u2019, and if you do, they\u2019ll make a bracelet of this string around your wrist and charge you for it. So, if you want to avoid paying out for a string bracelet, it\u2019s simple…don\u2019t put your finger in the hole!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enjoy Christmas markets and summer sun<\/h4>\n

Uwe Gundlach<\/b> says:<\/p>\n

in winter around christmas a must-be is champs-elysees and the christmas market at la defense! in summer i love the parc jardin du luxembourg! a special flair and mix of people over there!<\/i><\/p>\n

Hostelworld.com<\/b> says:<\/p>\n

No matter what time of year you visit Paris, you\u2019ll find something to do. Whether it\u2019s a stroll through the Jardin du Luxembourg under the summer sun or some holiday shopping at the popular Christmas Market at La D\u00e9fense near the Grand Arche, you\u2019ll never run out of things to experience in this captivating city.<\/p>\n

When I’m in town, I always hit the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie, right behind St. Paul metro stop on rue de Fourcy. Admission is free Wed. 5-8pm, and there’re always four great exhibitions. From there, tea and dessert at Le Loir dans la Theiere on rue des Rosiers in the Jewish quarter is always a cozy bet. If I’m in the mood for a glass of wine, I stroll a little further to La Belle Hortense, an excellent little wine bar on rue Vieille du Temple across from Le Petit Fer au Cheval (same owners), which makes a great steak tartare!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jeanne<\/em> Saturday, November 21st, 2009, 11:04am<\/h3>\n

If you are imaging enjoying a nice hot chocolate in Caf\u00e9 de Flore like all the famous peoples before, better be prepared is a tourist spot, so that you won’t be too disappointed (unless they’ve been greatly improved recently). I had been there because of it’s famous, and i am really disappointed by their service and i’ll never go back again. Their famous hot chocolate isn’t that special at all and costs for unreasonable price, which you can always enjoy a nice one with a fair price in all the other cafe in Paris…Anyway,it is up to your choice, i’ve said what i should say as a Parisienne. But is worth to walk around the neighbourhood there, is quite animated \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
