PARIS
-Best metro that you
can travel. It has many subways also RER that connected each other under the
ground. But if you bring heavy luggage,
make sure you have someone to help you because not all station has elevator or
escalator.
- Make sure you
taste the maccaronne, the famous cake from Paris. It is quite expensive, 1,95
euro each, but it is worth to try.
-Ask for free road,
metro RER and bus maps. It is easy to travel all around Paris with that. You may
buy the 24 hour ticket for 9 euro.

The tips to go
to Louvre without booking is you enter the Louvre via the Metro. There, you’ll
find Museum exit, and the line is not as crowded as the other line. And funny
thing about Louvre is that if you spent 30 second of your time to see all the
paintings and exhibition, you need 4 months to complete that all. Wew, now many
reason to go back to Paris right?

Moulin Rouge, a high class night club in Paris. If you want to feel the excitement of moulin lady, you have to spent for about 95-200 euros. Even my tour guide never went there. hahhaa. *he said it was too expensive. In mont marte, we went to Amelie Poulain's restaurant (FYI, Amelie was a popular movie in France), and also these places:
It was a beautiful church, with great scenery of paris :
-Versailles
Beautiful garden with beautiful chateu (france for castle). The interesting part is that you need to walk for about 3-4 hours to finish all the gardens (800 hectares !). The gardens have 4 fountains based on seasons :spring, summer, fall, and winter. They all have different stories behind each fountains and chambers. During my trip, there was musical fountain show, where all the fountain, at the same time will be on, and classical music was played. It was as if the fountain dance along the music played. C'est tres bon!
