PARIS TRIP (May 2008)..


When I look back, I can remember my Paris to be the perfect vacation I ever had. Frankly I never expected me to travel and see places in europe anytime soon in my life, but here I am. So this was a 5 night 4 day trip to Paris.


Night of 1st May 2008 --> Morning of 6th May 2008.


Travel:

Eurostar is what we choose to travel from London to Paris and back. It was cool and fast though sitting inside the train you dont realise the speed (180mph). From St Pancras International in London to Gare Du Nord station in Paris and back.


In the city Paris we choose to travel in public transport. So it was the Metro. For a 5 day visitie pass, we travelled in Metro, RER and buses for mere 30 euros.


On the last day, as decided, we travelled the city parts on bicycle. Yes the same Velib. I didn't realise that this could probably be the cheapest way to travel in the city. And of course on the bicycle you can have a great view of the city. :)


Stay:

The first night was spent in a hostel named "CALINCOURT". Luckily we got a seperate room. The next 3 nights were in "Hotel IBIS" again a nice hotel. The last night was again spent in a hostel by the name of "Absolute". This was all to economise the trip.


Visited:

As usual visted the most famour places in Paris. Top of the Eiffel Tower, river Seine cruise, the Louvre, the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur on the Montmartre hill, Arc de Triomphe, The Notre Dame de Paris , the Castle on the outskirts.


Here are few lovely memories ....................
