for itinerary and budget.

The city of love and romance ~ Paris.

ok, there is one place that you cannot miss if you going Paris which is Effiel Tower!
If you plan to go up to Effiel Tower, please PLEASE buy your ticket online :http://www.tour-eiffel.fr/ . Book your time and be there earlier. If not you will have to queue for few hours. We went there to see sunset, so after sunset , we went for the Seine River cruise. Remember to take some nice photos of Effiel Tower at night. You can also have a romantic picnic at night at the fields near Effiel Tower.





Cathedral Notre Dame


Arc de Triomphe

Louvre Museum


We get the 2 days Paris Museum Pass for Louvre Museum,Musee d'Orsay,Cathedral Notre Dame ,Arc de Triomphe @ 35 euro last time. But I just checked the website: http://en.parismuseumpass.com/rub-the-pass-price-36.htm.  Now it costs 39 euro.You have to calculate the costs vs benefits before you buy this pass, ie plan how many museum you plan to visit. With this museum pass, you can go to the museum using the fast lane.

We went to the Paris Disneyland. The Paris Disneyland is much smaller compared to the HK. So if you have been the HK Disney or any other Disneyland, you can skip this.

One of the French Restaurant we went twice during our 6 days Paris trip is this Bouillion Chartier Restaurant:

The food taste great and the price is reasonable, ard 20 euro/pax with wine.




For shopping, we went to  Champs-Elysées for the branded bags! If you want to buy Longchamp, go to the upper floor in Champs-Elysées mall, you will get more variety there and you can avoid the long queue as compared in the Ground floor.
