Airport Shuttle
Paris Orly Airport: ORY
Distance from city: 14km (9 miles)
Terminal South is for most airlines including Air
Malta, easyJet, El Al, Swiss and Turkish Airlines.
Terminal West is primarily for Air France flights plus
Iberia and TAP Air Portugal.
And I have not yet mentioned the superb selection
of Parisienne restaurants and cafes, the haute
couture or a stroll beside the Seine. There are the
many monuments, art galleries, palaces, gardens
and museums to enjoy.  But don’t worry because
you can always come back another day and they will
still be there waiting for you.

Paris is one of the world’s most romantic and
intriguing cities. The Eiffel Tower
(Tour Eiffel) is the
focal point for many visitors. On a clear day the
views over the city and beyond are exquisite. Built
in 1889 by Gustav Eiffel, it was way ahead of its
time. Take the lift to the third stage and gaze over
Paris at your leisure. You can even see the
enormous springs which it is mounted on if you go
downstairs.  

With the help of a guide book it is easy to soak in
the atmosphere of Paris on foot. The famous
Champs Elysee leads to the Arc de Triomphe where,
apart from the obvious, you can be amazed at the
hectic, non-stop traffic that encircles it. For exclusive
shopping the Place Vendome is the place to visit;
then relax with a coffee or aperitif in one of the
many pavement cafes.

To get the most out of your holiday budget,
the
Paris Pass allows you into all the most popular
attractions at a discounted rated. You also avoid the
queues by presenting your pass at the ticket desk.
It is a wonderful feeling to be treated as a VIP in
Paris!

Outside Paris, the Chateau de
Versailles is
arguably the most opulent structure in France.
Originally built as a hunting lodge, later enlarged it
fell into disrepair after the French Revolution and
was eventually restored in 1952. Situated to the
south west of Paris, you will need a whole day to
visit but take note, it is closed on Mondays.

For the kids (or the kid inside you), Disneyland has
developed into a great holiday in itself. Here you
can meet all the favourite characters in a never
ending sea of colour, sound and lights.

Nightlife in Paris is as elegant as the city herself.
Perhaps you would like to book a show after dining
in one of the many gourmet restaurants for which
France is so famous. Indulge in some great wines
and finish your meal with a great cognac. You will be
utterly spoilt for choice. Bon Apetit!

The French and Parisians in particular, love to be
spoken to in their own language, so making an
effort in that direction will endear you to them. Try
learning a few phrases for ordering your drinks or
your hotel room. They may laugh a little at your
pronunciation but at least you tried and its fun too.

The weather in Paris is generally good from spring
until the autumn and surprisingly for some, August
can be a great time to visit. It is warm or even hot
at times but it is also the time when many Parisians
take their holidays. Consequently it is not quite as
crowded.

Getting to Paris is simple via the Charles de Gaulle
or Orly airports and you can even combine a visit to
London using the Eurorail fast train if your time
permits.

PARISIENNE HOLIDAY
One night in Paris is simply not enough. With so
much to experience by day and by night you simply
must allow yourself more time. If you close your
eyes and name the first five things that spring to
mind you will see what I mean.
The Eiffel Tower, The Champs Elysee, Notre Dame,
the Louvre,
Montmartre, La Moulin Rouge and not
forgetting
 Disney Land are some names that spring
to mind.
Do you imagine for one moment you could fit these
into a day or a week-end stay in Paris.
