Things to do in Paris

[Mr Nice Guy]

GF has just booked a 2 night stay in Paris for us and her best mate (and her bf)...

I'm struggling to keep up the "oh cool" face.

WTF is there to do there?

Her mate is seriously keen to go to Disneyland, and so is her boyfriend - I'm failing to differentiate if he is a better face liar than me or if he is actually serious!

I'd guess that if she is much more attractive than him, then he's not.

Things to do and see. Well, there's the Eiffel Tower.....and...er..... umm........

Did I mention the Eiffel Tower...?

Are you serious?

If you go to Paris, then fuck off to Disneyland then you deserve to be shot.

There is tons to see - Eiffel Tower (which you can go up if you like), Notra Dame Cathedral, the Louvre if you like pictures and that, Arc de Triomph (sp?) and the associated chaos that is the roundabout there. Take a leisurly walk down the Champs-Elysses, enjoying the architechure and knobbly trees.

Take your bint window shopping at the high class places.

Have two hour lunches at a cafe.

Have three hour dinners and bouve beaucoup du vin.

There, that is at least a day and a half and I have done zero research.

FFS, it's one of the most culturally rich places on Earth, and your gf's mate wants to go to Disneyland (which is a canny way out AFAIK)? What a numpty.

But...

Watch out for all the dog shit on the pavements.


Fookin Disneyland!

[Mr Nice Guy]

I've never been to France - know fuck all about it, but that will be rectified with some googling... but yes, I'd rather see the city than Mickie Moose.

Phew.

There is really tons and tons there.

I reckon I could easily kill a weekend just wandering about and taking it all in, chilling in some parks, wandering down next to the river, having a bit of a ride on the Metro.

Just, you know, nobbing about, chatting with the missus.

Wait.

I see the problem.

Go to Disneyland so you only have to listen to her scream!

Well there's gargoyle spotting at Notre Dame for a start ...

Under no circumstances should you allow her to drag you into a perfume shop. You will asphyxiate before you manage to get out.

Paris is beautiful. It really puts London to shame. The views from the top of the Arc de Triomphe are magical. If you climb the stairway at the Notre-Dame cathedral you'll be knackered but it'll be worth it 'cause you'll get to see Quasi's bell!
Don't go near the Pigalle area, especially at night time. It's really dodgy around there. Visiting the Moulin Rouge is also much safer done during daylight hours.
Evenings are best spent up around the Sacre-Coeur cathedral. The cafes and restaurants surrounding the artists square are superb. Contrary to expectations they aren't overly expensive. Cafe Eugene is a favourite of mine. Just remember to ask for your meat well done (bien cuit) otherwise it will arrive at your table looking like roadkill!
Provided that you don't get pressured into going to Eurodisney you should have a real good time.

PS. If you get the chance, nip down to the Point d'Alma and you'll get to see where the Peoples' Princess was 'murdered'!

Take a peg for you nose, I've heard Paris smells prety bad and having been through the city once (albeit about 25 years ago) i have to agree..

And whats this Arc de Triomphe all about, when did the French ever have any Military victories...

Apart from that Paris is a lovely city (from what i remember)
Only one slight snag..

Been to Paris a couple of times for work. No time to really do much site seeing apart from late at night so just spent a few hours having a walk around. I really quite liked the place!
I can't understand why anyone would go to Disneyland unless they have children, there are far better things to spend your time doing and seeing especially in European cities!

[Nufkamp]

I know it's horribly touristy, but do take a trip along the Seine. A night trip if you can as it's stunning. As previously suggested, an evening in Montmartre is up at the top of my list when I visit Paris. Although expensive, a meal and show at the Moulin Rouge is also a worthy experience. A slow meander up the Champs Elysee is a must too. If you get a chance, visit the catacombs. You'll not have seen anything like that before. More museums than you can shake a stick at, and Napoleon's tomb is a sight to behold. I'd suggest there's far more to see and do in Paris than in any other European city, certainly that I've visited, with the possible exception of Rome.

It's an ace place, especially at night and in the summer. Such an atmosphere.

frenchies just piss on the street if they need too. No joke!

If I was going, I would just say and shout La Fromage! pretty much most of the time.

IT WOULD ENTERTAIN ME.

[Robby]

Hookers in the Pigalle.

There are probably other things to do in Paris too, if you're a pussy.

[nick606]

Disneyland fucking ace i would go there

[Visitor Q]

[Nufkamp]

If you want a good laugh, check out the hookers in the Bois De Boulogne (sp), they pop out from behind the trees in various states of undress
