Hello everyone

I am planning to take my grandchildren to Paris - singly - starting with the 12 year old. I thought we would stay for three nights, in the centre somewhere and I would love to hear about other people's experience and to have some advice about things to do, places to stay, places to go etc. We'd probably fly as it would be from Newcastle.

might not be so enthralling for a 22 year old to be dragged around Paris by his/her granny. maybe.

JaneAnne You could take your 12 year old GC to the Parc de Villette which is a fun science and technology centre.. and get there by taking a canal boat journey from BelleVille.. I also think the Pompidou Centre is fun to visit for the external escalators and the many street performers there.

Galeries Lafayette would also be on my list.
Pretty amazing.
The Orsay is fabulous and does (or used to do) guided tours. I think I'd do one of those.

I remembered the time I went to Paris. I met a hunky American man named "Daryl" he was looking for his brother Richard. He took me on motorcycle rides, crossbow shooting and an anti shower rally. Unfortunately my grandchild got eaten by a wild animal indigenous to France known as a "walker"

All around a great,hot steamy time.grin
