Tonto1 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 La defense...go to La defense (during the day, then round montmartre in the evening) I work in La Defense, why the feck would you want to go there? The view from the Grand Arch to the Arc d'Triomphe is nice, but not really worth going for unless you have a lot of time to kill or are going in that direction anyway. During the day this time of year (in no particular order), river cruise, museums, wander around the Notre-Dam area. Evening: Nice resteraunt, jazz/music club and/or show! Car related: not sure when you're going - but i'm thinking of getting tickets for this. Quote
StuartMackay Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 Well guys, thanks for all your suggestions, heading off from Norfolk early tomorrow morning, we are staying in Mont Martre, so looks lke we have that part of the suggested itinerary taken care of...The Champs Elysee car showrooms sound a good fem friendly plan also and seeing as the better half is picking up her new Citreon next week, maybe a good look at the Citreon showroom will be of topical interest to her also! Once again, thanks for all your suggestions and I am sure we will be having a great time this weekend! Quote
Norman Verona Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Stuart, last minute suggestion. Take a trip on the Metro - I love it so have a good look around whilst your down there. Quote
StuartMackay Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 K will do Norm, good suggestion as I dont want to be bouncing my Volvo off all the Reanaults and Citroens in Paris! Quote
Norman Verona Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Ah, the periphique. Try driving around it twice. My first visit to Paris was in 1964 and I could see them building the Periphique from my cousins window at Porte De Versailles Quote
