Bonjour

 

Me n Mrs Jules are heading to the French capital this weekend (her treat to me for my 40th).

 

I’ve not been since I was a kid; so what’s touristy but good to do / see in a weekend? Also, what’s the best way into the city from the airport? I believe it’s a way out. We’re staying near the Arc De Triomphe...

 

Friday night we’ve got some swanky restaurant so that’s taken care of. Gotta wear a jacket n all that

 

Eiffel Tower?

 

Notre Dame?

 

Would the Louvre be wasted on a heathen like me?

 

Best to book stuff up front?

 

Ashamedly I know next to fuck all about the place

 

Ta

 

PS. I won’t be watching any of that cycling shite

Big thanks for the recommendations - especially BD

 

Staying at Hotel Nolinski. It says it's right by the Pyramides underground station - near the Louvre, Arc de Triomphe etc?!

 

We land Friday morning and leave 5pm Sunday 

 

We're heading to Le Cinq on Friday night so looking for less formal surroundings the rest of the time

 

Mrs Jules is pregnant so all the wine is for me and we will probably have to limit the walking a little!

 

That walk sounds ace.

 

Should we pre-book the tower?

DEfinitely pre-book the tower - but dont bother with booking sites book direct with Eiffel

Jules, can you combine wearing your swanky outfit with your visit to the Eiffel Tower, then recreate this for us:

 

Stay away from Gare du Nord after dark.

Moody as fuck, you will get robbed or worse.
