Locals!

 

Cracking pics strongy. Ive never been to Paris but looks an interesting place. Looks like you fit lots into your short break. Hope you had a great time. 02

 

We did 02, but still recovering from the prices!! £3/£4 for tea and £4/£5 for half a cup of coffee, as for the meals.......

 

Love the 'locals'! lol

I'd go broke on the coffee prices.......or....have to have my own little travel back up kit with me! Great pics.....thanks for sharing!

 

We "did" Paris a couple of times and found it very reasonable.

The secret is to go around the corner, or down a side street and to only go into a place that's packed with locals. If it's packed with locals, then the prices will be OK. If there's an English menu displayed outside, stay away.

 

I missed this!!

Your pictures are incredible!!!!

 

Thanks Penny, it was a short break, three nights, but well worth it.:gnthb:

Paris is only 3 hours away from London by Eurostar (high speed train) but it takes 3 hours to get from here to london. (Low speed train:D).

 

Just found this Strongy, lovely pics. I particulary like the frozen lake ... but that could be anywhere .... :hehe:

Nice to see you and Mrs S again obviously enjoying your break albeit bundled up ... thanks for sharing. xx

 

lovely pics strongy, ive never been to paris seen it many times on tv and pics, very nice lovely one of the eiffel tower and fancy them tourists in the way hahahaha.

 

It looks lovely- the tourists look ok too!
Paris is on our list to do for sure, Shiney is a good help for some "inside knowledge" :hehe:

 

Heck!!...missed this strongy
Why didn't you give us a call?....I went to France last year but big brother who drove by passed Paris...and me and Mrs Pal would have loved to see the sights!
Smashing pic's mate:gnthb:....lucky dog

 

To be honest Pal it wasn't our first choice for a break, we were going to go to Amsterdam but thought it was too expensive so chose Paris instead. It probably cost more in the end.:dh:
It's an easy city to get around, walking or Metro. Worth a visit even if like us you aren't interested in Museums or Galleries.
