The Paris forum: share your experience and ask questions about Paris

Hey guys I'm not sure if this is the sound category to mail this, but I am having some real trouble learning meeting women I look over meeting women that blog, but it really didn't appear to make alot of sense to me. Can someone pretty please help me? It's so intricate to convene the chick of my dreams. This article wasn't coherant to read Suggestions on How to satisfy Ladies along at the Mall If you can be a single guy and aren't the most advantageous at discovering a good deal less meeting ladies and are questioning where by you could possibly head to come across and connect a female, then these ten reasonable recommendations on how to fulfill a gal along at the shopping mall, really should arrive in mighty handy. 1 - Go with the foods court. Believe it or not, the food court will be the absolute finest site during the local mall to meet a chick. Here's what you do. Choose a foods location and get in line for the meal. While you are in line, take a look close to the region where exactly all people is sitting and eating. Search for a gal sitting down alone, and even two ladies sitting together. When you've your meal in hand, walk above to wherever she or they are sitting down and talk to if you could join them. If you are sincere and straightforward with them, your chances are fairly very good. 2- Do some contemplating. Previously you even take into consideration heading to the mall to meet a toddler, sit all by yourself down and do some really serious contemplating. Take into consideration how you might meet a female and what you can say to her if you're profitable. Take into consideration which parts of the mall you'd probably pay a visit to. Also, you are going to ought to obtain something whilst there, what do you need? At long last, take into consideration what meeting a chick in the public site entails. Surely you will would need to appear for any wedding ring ahead of speaking to a girl, and you might be required to give consideration to if it is wiser to speak to some girl alone or an individual who's with others. As a final point, you are going to have being sensible about your personal age plus the ages of your gal you want to satisfy. As in, you may really need to tell your own self to become sensible and do not attempt to fulfill women that happen to be quite a bit younger or older than you’re, or that glimpse out of the league. three - Ask for guidance. The moment that you're ultimately for the shopping mall, just one with the procedures to meet women is by asking them for guidance. Females know that males have no strategy what there're undertaking when they are purchasing, so asking for boost will not seem such a ridiculous plan. Ask for aid in picking out a jacket for yourself for instance. Engaging in so let's the woman know that you just are single. If she agrees to aid you, talk to her other queries as you grab diverse jackets to attempt on. Hey guys I'm not for certain if this is the correct place to post this, but I am having some legitimate grieve learning meeting women I look over meeting women that article, but it actually didn't seem to give to me alot of sanity to me. Can someone hold it in their heart to improve me? It's so hard to meet the sexy women of my dreams.

There's this artist I love who paints the statues of Paris. She was featured in NY Arts Magazine, Keariene Muizz.

L'Huitrier 16 rue Saussier-Leroy, Parc Monceau, Paris, 75017 01-40-54-83-44 I like that this spot is not a bad walk from Champs de Elysees, if you're up for it. If you walk it you will see the real marches in between the boutiques so it's a bit of old and new. The food is great made by real French people which is hard to find. There is good people watching as I often see some French actors there. It is an upscale crowd. BCBG.

I am thinking of taking a Gap Year from university next year, and so would like to save up money and live in Paris for 2-4 weeks. I would like to live in an apartment during my stay.

We went to Cafe Marly this morning. Frankly, sitting in a confortable armchair on the terrace overlooking the Louvre pyramide while the crowd is not yet there is fantastic. Cafe Marly is open at 8am.

The policy of Paris Digest, as far as restaurants are concerned, is to recommend you just a few exceptional restaurants we would recommend to our best friends. To find them, we read many reviews and test many restaurants. The result is our selection of Paris restaurants. We went today to the famous Gallopin brasserie. Founded in 1874, it has the lovely mahogany walls and stainglasses of the great restaurants of this time in Paris. The waiters are superbly dressed. The prices are moderate at lunch. We paid 64 euros for two (two course menu and 50 cl of good Gamay from the Loire valley). The desert was very good, but the main course was average. Altogether a good address, if you are close by. But Gallopin won’t make it to our list of the best restaurants in Paris.

i would like to know how long it would take for me to travel from thedream castle hotel,disneyland paris,to 214 rue de rivoli 75001 paris,by taxi and how much would this cost.This is were i meet the coach for a day trip i would like to go on.I would like to know if its easy enough to get to from my hotel,before i book.Thank you.

I would like to know what 'line' to use on the metro from Gare du Nord to Gare Montparnasse and how long it will take. Thank you

We have just updated Paris Digest with new ergonomics and features. All maps have been upgraded with streetview. We hope you will appreciate these changes.

We went for lunch today at La Coupole in Montparnasse. Much is said about this renowned Paris brasserie that was quite famous in the 1930ies when Hemingway and Picasso were regular customers. The interior is spectacular: the 1000 m2 restaurant room, its painted pillars and cupola are beautiful.The restaurant is at the same time quiet and very busy, urban and confortable. The waiters are friendly and service is fast.The food is traditional French brasserie food with much from the sea. The prices are quite reasonable as the 30 euro menu is always served. One of the best parisian experience of food, beauty and city life combined. See our selection of beautiful restaurants.

We will be visiting Paris from Sept 30 to October8th. We just cannot decide on where to stay...Hotel Lotti near Louvre or Hotel Agora in the Latin Quarter, Please help!

Hi, Please answer how can I go from Paris to Normandy. Thanks

Will be in Paris June 15-18 want to tour Opera house but can't find how to order tickets online for it.

We tested yesterday the new and cheap Versailles bus tour from FcomFrance (see http://en.fcomfrance.com/89-versailles.htm?sid=58a3473f11be1c784db74d0ab87e4d50 ). The departure is 13, rue de l’echelle 75001 Paris. If you stay in a hotel near Louvre Museum (see http://www.parisdigest.com/menus/hotels-louvre-selection.htm ), that should be 5’ walking. The confortable bus leaves at 8.30am. You arrive at the Palace of Versailles around 9.15am. You then walk to the group entrance where you quickly get your ticket and audioguide. You then visit the Palace on your own (we recommend you to focus on the Hall of Mirrors, the King’s and Queen’s bedrooms), then walk in the park (spend much time in the park, so spectacular and far less crowded than the Palace). At 12am, you get back to the bus and should be in Paris around 1pm. The hostesses on the bus are charming and helpful. Altogether, the tour costs 39 euros. If you go on your own, you will pay 7.40 euros for the train and 15 euros for the entrance ticket, that is 22.40 euros in total. For 16.60 euros extra, you therefore get the confort of a bus tour. The bus tour also allows you to visit Versailles in half a day, which is quite difficult on your own: take the train, walk to the Palace, queue up at the normal gate. Another advice. Don’t go to Versailles on Tuesday: as all museums in Paris are closed, the Palace is very crowded. Enjoy your visit to Versailles.

Hi. I am planning a short trip to Paris with my mother at the end of summer. I have looked at a nice hotel, Hotel Europe Saint Severin in the Latin quarter and read the reviews, but I am worried about the order of purchasing the museum pass or the Eiffel tower and Seine cruise and when to do it. A month before? Or should I wait until I arrive in Paris? Is is better to book ahead of time online or through a service that has package deals? Is the weather going to be stifling? I am just throwing out a whole bunch of questions for now. If anyone has an experience with a short 5-6 day trip to Paris, where you mainly went to the Louvre, The Eiffel Tower, a Seine River cruise and magnificent Notre Dame, please drop me a line. Teresa

Good news for Paris lovers. A new company called FcomFrance is starting low cost bus tours from Paris to Versailles on April 4th. Managed by top Paris professionals, FcomFrance charges 39 euros for the tour from Paris to Versailles including transport from Paris Louvre to Versailles, Versailles Palace ticket, Versailles Palace audioguide and no queing. Don't anymore take the RER metro to Versailles, do the long walk to the Palace and wait in line. You would not only waste hours of your precious time, but not even save much money. See http://en.fcomfrance.com/89-versailles.htm?sid=58a3473f11be1c784db74d0ab87e4d50 . Have a great time in Versailles, the most spectacular Palace in the world..

The Jules Verne restaurant is one of the most famous restaurants in Paris. At 125 meters above the ground and on the second floor of the Eiffel tower, the Jules Verne is undoubtedly the most scenic restaurant in Paris. As much is said, good or bad, these days about the Jules Vernes, we went there yesterday. The day in Paris was cold and snowy. It was one of these rare days when the tourists don’t queue up at the Eiffel Tower. The Jules Verne restaurant was not completely full, which is unusual. You normally have to book long in advance. Pay attention to the fact that it is hard to cancel a reservation. If you don’t show up, you will be charged the meal. The private entrance at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, the spectacular private lift to the second floor, the reception are impecable. The restaurant is split into three cosy and medium size dining rooms. Make sure you book a table near the window as the view is breathtaking. The service is French style and first class. The meal was altogether very good and we enjoyed the selection of Bourgogne and Bordeaux wines. The Jules Verne restaurant is now managed by Alain Ducasse, one of the best French cooks and there is no compromise with quality, which is great for such a touristic place. At lunch time, you can choose the 85 euros three course menu. The three glasses wine selection that goes with it costs 40 euros. This is a high price, but compared with other Paris restaurants, it is all in all really worth it. We would recommend to go for lunch as the dinner is much more expensive. Go to the Jules Verne restaurant for a great occasion and book long in advance. See http://www.parisdigest.com/menus/restaurants-with-view-selection.htm

I will visit Paris for the first time on my honeymoon in March. We will spend 5 nights there. I have wanted to visit Paris for years as it is the birthplace of Surrealism.

We ran the 20km race this morning. Around 25 000 people ran from the Eiffel Tower back to the Eiffel Tower, throught the Bois de Boulogne and along the Seine river quays. Sports, fun and sightseeing combined. If you come to Paris in the spring, we recommend you the Paris semi-marathon on March 7th. See at http://www.semideparis.com/2010/index_us.html .

We are travelling to the Dordogne next August from England and are looking to break our journey by stopping one night in Paris on August 13th, a Friday night, We shall be travelling from Calais. We are a family of 7 people, 2 parents and 5 children aged 20,18,17,11 and 7. We are wondering what is the best plan as with so many of us cost is very important. We think we shall arrive on the Friday afternoon and leave mid morning on the Saturday. We would like to see the main sights, but being restricted by time, we think this would be best served by taking an evening cruise along the Seine. We see that there are 2 main options. Staying on the outskirts of Paris and taking a bus/metro/taxi into the centre or staying in the centre. We would like bed and breakfast and we would need to know what parking facilities are available as we will have a people mover with a roof box and a bike rack on the back. We are not looking for luxury accommodation, just basic and clean. Can you please help us by advising on the options as we would love our children to experience Paris. If the cost is reasonable, then we would plan a similar stop on the return journey on August 28th, a Saturday night. Your help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Merci, Chris and Louise Collins

The Paris Masters 2009 tennis tournament will take place in Paris from November 7th to 15th. Don’t miss this opportunity to come to Paris. Affordable tickets. See details at http://www.parisdigest.com/sports/parisopen.htm

We went out today for lunch to Auberge Etchegorry (http://www.thefork.com/2_restaurant/Paris_restaurant/Auberge_Etchegorry_restaurant/210/ ). We enjoyed a delicious and affordable basque meal. The service was very friendly and the environment is very quiet and green. The same owner operates the lovely Le Vert Galant hotel http://www.booking.com/hotel/fr/le-vert-galant-paris.en.html?aid=310432;label=parishotels;sid=537f91 db5d50a7e1588cd99abcf1d1df ). Rush to it. Its garden, lovely rooms and quietness will amaze you.

For those of you who are in Paris next week-end (Septembre 19th and 20th), a final reminder. Don't miss the Journées du Patrimoine (Paris heritage day). Most sights of interest will be open to the public whole day. Avoid the most famous ones where the queues can be very long. It is almost impossible to get a list of all the sights. Our recommendation: you can rent a Velib bicycle to go from sight to sight. Enjoy your week end in Paris.

Adding to the message below, will you have to show identification (passport) to get into the government sites? And about what time do they open? I am trying to time my arrival so that we are close to the front of the line. Thanks!

I'm looking for scheduled Paris events for Journees du Patrimoine September 19 & 20, 2009.

Thank you so much for all the advice. My trip with my sister and best friend was perfect. Paris was all and more than I dreamed of. The people were so nice to us and helpful. I'm already saving my change for my next trip. The Residence De Arts hotel was wonderful and the perfect spot for us,we had a Jr. suite. It was not to noisy to sleep. I'd throw open the window and sit on the window seat every night and watch the people walking by. We were so tired from all the walking we did, we slept through anything. Thanks again! Sherry PS it only rained two hours the whole ten days, Yea!

We went yesterday to the restaurant l'Aiguière in Paris. If you want to discover out of the beaten track Paris, go there. No tourist area near Bastille Opera and gare de Lyon station, a seventeen century house, Swedish style confort and decoration, impeccable French service, great countryside food. You have space and time and it's affordable. Recommended. See at http://www.idealgourmet.fr/284-221-restaurant-laiguiere-presentation.html.

We ate again yesterday at Le Passiflore near Palais de Chaillot and its amazing view of the Eiffel Tower (see http://www.parisdigest.com/monument/palaisdechaillot.htm ).

One of our favorite restaurants in Paris. See http://www.parisdigest.com/menus/restaurants-grande-cuisine.htm.

We have been again to Gérard Besson restaurant for lunch today. What a pleasant experience!

Paris is very actively participating to the National heritage days on September 21st and 22nd. An amazing amount of great and secret buildings will be open to the public. Well known places as the Elysées palace will have people waiting in line for hours. Many other interesting places will be easy to get in. Just walk around and seize opportunities. The weather should be OK for a great walk through Paris anyway.

Pope Benedict will arrive tomorrow in Paris for his first visit to France. Be very early Saturday morning on the Esplanade des Invalides if you want to attend the 9.30am mass 200 000 people are expected to attend.

From September 10th to December 14th, 17 pieces of kitsch art by Jeff Koons are displayed in beautiful 17th century palace of Versailles near Paris. This controversial exhibition is representative of a trend to revitalize French historical monuments. Certainly worth a visit.

We went the other day to the restaurant Au Petit Riche in Paris. As usual, the decor and service were great. But the food was below average. We have therefore decided to take this restaurant out of our recommendation list.

Many Parisians now love to stay in Paris in August. Of course, there is the down side: many restaurants and a number of shops are closed. But so many Parisians leave for vacation that the city is extremely quiet and pleasant, especially outside of the main touristic areas. Come to Paris in August. She will be yours and relaxed.

Hi! I´m about to go from Beauvais, my fligt comes there, to disneyland. Can someone please tell me how to reach disneyland?! Which busses or trains?

We went the other day for lunch to Apollo, a fancy and affordable restaurant right at Denfert Rochereau RER station. Denfert is a quite Parisian no tourist district two/three metro stops away from Notre-Dame and Luxembourg garden. We had a great lunch enjoying so much the lovely and quiet terrace, so appreciated with the hot weather these days in Paris.

Hi everyone, I thought you might like to know about my new website all about photographing paris called www.photographing-paris.com It's a labour of love that isn't 100% finished but is almost there. I'm so busy just now that I wasn't sure when I'd be able to completely finish it so I thought I'd just "go live" now. There are lots of photographs of Paris and tips on choosing a hotel and getting around. Please stop by for a look. Hope you enjoy it! Kind regards, Bruce Robbins

We went today to Pierre Gagnaire restaurant in Paris, near Champs-Elysées avenue. Michelin 3 stars. Number 3 on the list of San Pellegrino 2008 World's 50 Best Restaurants. You may feel a little bit stressed in anticipation of the experience. We were touched by the modesty and warm welcome of Pierre Gagnaire himself. The professionalism and friendliness of the staff made us very confortable. We could relax and enjoy the cuisine. Everything was so tasteful and inventive we were in heaven. Thank you, Pierre Gagnaire and staff. You are making life a little better for all of us. See http://www.parisdigest.com/menus/restaurants-grande-cuisine.htm

We went yesterday to a really great Paris restaurant at very reasonable prices, called La Touraine (see at http://www.parisdigest.com/menus/restaurants-affordable.htm). Imagine a no tourist, lovely and quiet Paris district, a country side restaurant with great dishes and wines from the Loire valley, the garden of France. The welcome is warm. We highly recommend it.

Since yesterday, Paris bars and restaurants are non smoking. It is now impossible to smoke in all public places, including metro and train stations. With that measure, Paris and France are following the successful example of many other European countries.The ban is respected and will help renovate the tradition of friendly Parisian "cafés".

Happy new year to all of you. We hope you will have the opportunity to visit Paris in 2008. We will do our best to make your Paris visit memorable.
