The day we went to Paris

Yesterday was spent on a whistle stop tour de Paris. The main reason for going was for the Christain Boltanski exhibition at the Grand Palais, which was well worth the trip. A bit of sight seeing also occurred as did the consumption of some fine French food. It was a long, cold day, but that seems to be the way Glyn and I like it when we when we go to Paris as this is the second mid-winter day trip we've done. Oh, to see Paris in the sunshine!

Do you speak French? If not how is it without french? I have some french, but it's limited. Been considering some conversation classes.

We've been thinking of visiting for a weekend and I'll be there at the end of my blackpool to paris bike ride.

I'll be asking for recommendations when we do decide to go!

Hardly speak any French and managed to muddle through. It's not a city I know very well, having only been on 2 day trips but some of our friends are v regular visitors so I'll ask them if you need hotel recommendations.

how much time were you actually there for? i kinda like the idea of a day trip that's got nothing to do with hills.

Got about 9 hours in the city. Was just about right.
