Tips for people coming to Paris.

  • We recommend you stay somewhere in The Marais. It's a lovely area, with lots of great places to eat and a train line which gets you to all the major sights. The only problem with The Marais area is that it is hard to get to on public transport with luggage. To get there from the main Paris train terminal, there are lots of steps to walk up and down and you have to take a couple of different train lines!! We stayed at the Jeanne D'Arc, which seems to be where every Aussie we know has stayed and highly recommended to us. It is a good hotel - clean, good facilities, good location, etc, but it is pricey. You are paying for location really.
  • It took us ages to find an internet cafe - so here's the address of the one we finally found - 31 Boulevard Sebastopol LES HALLES (and it's a chain with many other locations http://www.milkinternethall.com/ I dunno why it took us so long to find one then!!)
  • Amelie Cafe - Les Deux Moulins (15 Rue Lepic, 18th arrondissement)
  • All Paris museums are free on the first Sunday of the month
