In February/March 1999 we flew to Paris, France for a week. Except for the flowers not yet in bloom, the weather and the pastry were wonderful.
We were able to see and do everything we wanted to. Since we were staying only in Paris we used the Metro to get around. Our hotel was next to the Louvre, so we visited it late one day just to see the main attractions. The rest of the time was spent on the Metro roaming the far corners of Paris.
Besides the obvious sites some of the other things we saw were the Pompidou Centre, Palais Du Luxembourg, Hotel Des Invalides, Tombeau De Napoleon, Opera Garnier, and the Tour Montparnasse. Did I mention pastry?
We took an excursion to Disneyland Paris. This was just a matter of catching a train to the outskirts of Paris that drops you off right at the front gate. It’s very similar to the Magic Kingdom with Fantasyland, Adventureland, Frontierland, Discoveryland, and Main Street USA. Even though the rides were in French, it was still Disney.
