Transportation

I would like to warn any potential Paris travellers about the Gard du Nord train station. This is the main Paris train hub connecting London/Paris/Brussels etc.. Eurostar and all others use this train station.
I'm from the US and spent 10 days in UK and 3 in Paris. The Gard du Nord station is very "seedy", from the minute I got off the Eurostar train I put my billfold in my front pocket and tightly secured ALL my luggage. There were lots of Arab/African men, teen to middleage just standing around. No bags, not travelling, not picking anyone up, just standing around watching and looking around. After 3 days in Paris I returned to this station to wait for my train back to London. I was 2 hrs early.

I'm so excited. We just got tickets to France for October. I've been all over the web at cheap ticket sites and was ready to give up and wait for Fall sales. Then I clicked on France.com's airline ticket button way on the far right side of the screen. We always get our hotels here so I don't know why I never looked for airline tickets. Live and learn!

At any rate, we had a delightful choice of tickets at far below the other "budget" sites. This is so exciting. We're going to France for a month and we're saving over $200 (over the cheapest other site) on tickets. That's a lot of souvenirs!!

I guess I better calm down and go grocery shopping. Just wanted to tell you that if you've never tried the airline ticket section, try it. You'll like it!

Hello! I have had the fortune of finding free parking on the weekend on rue Fabert right by the Esplanade des Invalides. I was wondering if you know of any other places where one can park for free on the weekends. or even weekdays?!

Thanks!

What's the best way to get from DeGaulle Airport to Orly? I have a 9-hour layover on my way to Seville, so time is not a problem.
Also, any suggestions what I do in those extra 5 or 6 hours I'll have? (I'm heading back to Paris later in the week for 5 days so I won't miss Paris!)

I've just been on www.Ferrysale.com & found some really cheap last minute ferry crossings to France! Definitely worth a look!

Hi there, I'm a Driving Instructer from California, and in order to make my classes a little more interesting I do this little game with my students. I was wondering if SOMEONE could tell me what cars that the French people make. I know about Peuget and Renault, but what others are there?
Thank you for your help...
