           WELCOME TO THE FRANCE
 
 
Ceci est mon guide de votre ville d'origine. Je tiens à vous remercier de m'avoir fait la plupart de bienvenue lors de mon séjour à Paris et j'espère revenir bientôt.Bonne journée  
 
Bairdstravel has been to Paris many times but the rest of France I`m sorry to say I have seen very little . Hopefully in the future I may visit more.
Paris is a wonderful city . So much to see and do . Euro Disney is fab for the the kids and adults.
 
         
 
 
Please note Paris is not cheap. You can pay €8 for a beer. Glass of wine is slightly cheaper. [The wine is good].   The Metro is very easy to use and the Open top bus is a great way to see the sights. The weather can be very good in summer but cold in the winter. 
 
       
    

Popular tourist sites include:  Eiffel Tower , Louvre Museum , Palace of Versailles ),  Arc de Triomphe  Centre Pompidou , Mont-Saint-Michel .

France the associated architect was Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. In the late 19th century Gustave Eiffel designed many bridges (like the Garabit viaduct) and remains one of the most influential bridge designer of his time, although he is best remembered for the Eiffel Tower.

Beauvais
They should change the name to bully airport. As you have to bully folk out of the way to get on your flight .
 
Too small for the number of Ryanair flights. It was like the Jan sales in Oxford
street last time we flew out of it. I would say pay the extra to be one of the first on the plane or sit at the bar and be one of the last on.
 

This airport, a distance north of the city, is a smaller regional airport that is used by some low-cost carriers such as Ryanair and WizzAir. The airport operates a shuttle service connecting with the Métro at Porte Maillot station. Buses run even during the wee hours of the morning (6AM). Buses leave 20 min after each flight arrives, and a few hours before each flight departs. Exact times can be found on the Beauvais Airport website. The journey will take about an hour in good traffic conditions, and costs €14 each way (as of Dec 2009).
