The 7th arrondissment on the left bank is a hip sort of student area and a great area to say. Since paris is a real city anywhere you stay will be walking distance from loads of restaurants and bars. Just walking around and looking at the famous buildings would take more than a weekend. One restaurant I would very highly recommend is called L'Atelier de Roubuchon(in the 7th). Joel roubochon was a famous chef who had one of those stiff 200 euro a meal places but he retired and re-opened a series of these informal places, which feature a counter (excellent if you are alone) and food as good as any 3 star at reasonable prices(my wife and I had lunch with wine for about 60 euro) and an informal atmosphere. Only down side is no reservations so you have to wait for a spot at the counter. -----Original Message----- From: Vermont Skiing Discussion and Snow Reports [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of T O S Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 2:51 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: OT: Paris suggestions wanted I am flying to France next week. I will be working in Tours, just south east of Paris. I will have a free weekend and was thinking of spending it in Paris. I like to stay in hotels where I can walk to restaurants and pubs. I have never been there and looking for suggestions: - what part of Paris do I want to stay in. - is there is a good place to rollerblade? - any must sees? - any parts of Paris I should avoid? I hate standing in line for anything. Thanks in advance. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SkiVt-L is brought to you by the University of Vermont.
