Ok boys and girls... I decided to do a decadent weekend in Paris. I won't be back till Monday. As always, photos when I get back. Yeehaaa! Ce restaurant n'est pas aussi bon que le Mc.Donalds.

Isn't that in Southern California, near Riverside?
(Sorry, after years of people asking whether Perris was in France I just had to do that)

Though u left already! lol
Very good (and big portion) foie gras at the Cardinal (funky interior too) on corner Grand Boulevard and Haussman (Metro Grands Boulevards). I really like that restaurant...
Cheap food by the bushel in the Sorbonne are (metro St Michel) close to the Easy Everything internet shop. good Couscous and Grek stuff there (just wonder the streets and pick a place.. you'll get harrasd by the waiters to come to their place with offers of free aperitifs). Ther are a few cool Alsace, Bretagne and other local spots in there too. A few bood Creoeries Bretonnes too (thin crepes)
If you feel cultured, please go see the Louvre. Pick a corner and spend 1/2 a day in it. You could easily spend weeks in there, so pick! PS: If seing the monalisa is your thing, go, but you might be dissapointed).
Do not buy a coffe (or anything else) on Les Champs Elysee unless you are OK with being riped off. If you want to impress (get a table upstairs), LaDuree is real nice, and allthough expensive, its not that bad (Metro Goerges V)
Tourist spot that are worth it: Monmartre (Metro Anvers, or any other around there), especially if you go with a lady friend. very romantic place fro dinner with the Sacre Coeur light up at nite. And you go by urself and feel lonely, the ladies of the nite of Pigalle are just down the hill
if the weather is nice, jarding Du luxembourg are nice, but at this time of year, I'd pass.
Pere Lachaise cimetary: I love that place. If you know a bit about french authors, poets, famous philosophers, and all around dead people, its worth a few hours. Jim Morrisson is there too, though I found that part of the cimetary the most awfull (lots of graffity from assholes visiting his grave)
Notre Dame is beatifull, but dont pay to visit the underground acheological Caves (entry in front of N-D), not worth it in my opinion.
I'm not a clubber, but from what I understand, the Paris niteclub scene is very snooty, not as open and coll as London/Manchester (from what I hear.... correct me if you want u kids...)

I DON'T want to go! Sorry love but Paris was not one of my most memorable excursions. I was highly disappointed in the Mona Lisa and had the worst French onion soup (should have been called grease soup). Well hummmmm if I pretended to be one of the twins.....might be worth going! LMAO
Have a great time.....Cheers
Oh and take your own tp..hahaaaaaa
It only takes a little pixie dust......

I spent a few of my favorite weeks up in Bretagne. It's simply great in the summer, but I don't know about this time of year.

Indeed. Skip the Mona Lisa if I were you. They do have some architectural features that are pretty cool. The Louvre was built upon the remains of an old castle, and you can explore those. Very cool.

Monmartre and Sacre Coeur are two of the most romantic spots in Paris, so make sure to bring or find someone to be romantic with.

Are you refering to the caves running through Paris, the ones lined with bones? I forget what they were called... During the period of the french revolution, they ran out of cemetary space. They just started piling up bones of the dead in underground tunnels. Definately worth seeing.

No. You're talking about the Catacombes. never visisted them. The entry to them, I think, is aroud the Jardin du Luxembourg. I was talking about a small cave under the parvis of N-D that has some remains of the walls of some 12th (I think) century houses and buildings. Small, and boring. The catacombes are on the list of others things I want to check out.
And for food in general, I'll agree you're better off outside of Paris. But in the city, you still can find good stuff for a reasonable price. Outside Paris, still good stuff, but cheap...
