POSTCARDS FROM: Paris & Versailles

Bonjour - Welcome to my Paris city guide!


Paris is such a popular destination for us UK'ers these days, it's so easy to get to. Who doesn't want to hop on a train and an hour later be sipping wine and eating French stick next to the River Seine?

Below I have listed my favourite tips for your paris trip, to make it that little more special.


Places to see (landmarks as well as those not well known):
- Eiffel Tower
- Notre Dame
- Arc de Triomphe
- Palace of Versailles
- Marie Antoinettes Estate & The Petit et Grande Trianon (a lot of these photos featured on here were taken there)
- Musee du Louvre
- Avenue Montaigne
- Rue Cambon
- Champs Elysees


Things to do:
- Do a river cruise (Bateaux Parisiens is a good one - I did their sunset cruise and loved it)
- Eat in the Laduree on Champs Elysees
- Explore the little side streets along the Eiffel Tower and near the Concord area
- Shop in Bon Marche
- Have lunch in Four Seasons George VI
- Buy a giant Babybel (you won't regret it)


Places to eat:
- Four Seasons George VI
- Laduree
- Bon Marche
- L'Avenue


Places to stay:
- Hotel Trianon Palace Versailles
- The Peninsula
- Four Seasons George VI
- Citadel Notre Dame
- Paris Perfect Rentals (for apartments)
- Hotel Plaza Athenee

2 key tips:
- Try and speak French if possible. The locals really appreciate it!
- Use the metro. Cabs are ridiculously expensive, the traffic in Paris is a nightmare. The metro is so cheap and quick, and really widespread with good connections.

One piece of advice I have is that if you stay outside of central Paris outside of summertime, then be prepared to be getting back to your hotel late every night. I have stayed both in central Paris next to the Notre Dame and outside of Paris in the Estate of Versailles, and outside of the summer months, there is not a lot going on outside of Paris in the evenings. However that's not necessarily a bad thing, if you're in to relaxing and having a chilled out trip then that's probably best for you anyway.
The transport links both inside and outside of Paris are very good and cheap, so you'll have no problems with this.
