[SR: 1314118], Paperback, [EAN: 9781520808895], Independently published, Independently published, Book, [PU: Independently published], Independently published, Take the Guess-Work out of planning for your Paris Vacation You're excited about seeing Paris but when it comes to planning details, you don't know where to start... Let me help you with that. The goal of this book is to give you balance in your planning: I'll give you enough information to fill three good days and see the major sites and monuments, without overwhelming you with so many options that either the planning itself becomes stressful or the desire to do "everything" creates a rushed & therefore stressful pace. You'll get... Arrival Information I'll help you navigate the Charles-de-Gaulle airport and detail transfer options from there into the downtown core. If you're arriving at one of the major train stations, I'll also give you information on getting downtown via the Paris metro system. Getting around Paris Once you're settled into your hotel and rested up a bit, you're now ready to start exploring. Over and above walking (itself a wonderfully romantic option), I give you options for moving about the city; whether by metro, land transportation or by boat-taxi. Major Attractions Moving about the city is, in and of itself, a unique experience and you'll feel a sense of accomplishment when you've conquered it. Beyond that sense of satisfaction however, the main purpose of moving around is to let you experience the incredible sights and monuments that make Paris the world class destination that it is. I give you details and insight into 9 of the must-see monuments Sightseeing River Cruises The Eiffel Tower Sacré Coeur and Montmartre The Louvre Notre Dame Cathedral The Garnier Opera The Controversial (yet Oh so romantic) Love Locks The Bouquinistes along the seine The Arc of Triumph In addition to these, I'll give you lots of tips on how to simply experience the city itself, outside of the monuments. Accommodation & Dining Rather simply listing accommodation options - (which are really too numerous) - I've opted to give you some insight into hotel chains that, while quite reputable, are generally less well known to travelers from outside of Europe and which present a happy middle ground between discount accommodation and the more well known international brands, which tend to be more expensive. Similarly, pertaining to restaurants, while I do list a handful of my favorites, I put more emphasis on helping you understand the French approach to an evening out as well as giving you tips on customs that may differ from other parts of the world. And for you die-hard Starbucks fans... I'll even point you to the Starbucks locations nearest to the main sites and monuments.
