The wife's luggage sounds excessive, esp since you are not going to be "dressing" for fancy dinners anywhere. At that time of year, you will most likely be wearing jackets at the very least and you certainly don't need a "new" outfit each day. Of course, she may just be leaving suitcase space for spending that birthday gift!

"If you show your RATP pass at the Batobus, you qualify for a discount that brings down the cost of a one-, two-, or five-day pass cost to €7, €8, or 10€, respectively."
Robespierre, by RATP pass, do you mean the Carte Orange? We plan to get the Carte Orange, and it would be great if that got us a Batobus discount, too.

Hi rolisa,
just having my two pen'th, [cf another thread] if you fancy a bigger meal than usual, you can usually eat better for less at luchtime, rather than dinner. The tip to shop at markets for your picnic stuff is a good one, and if you can't do without the fizzy drinks, buy a large bottle at the supermarche, and decant it into smaller ones. Ditto mineral water if you don't like what comes out of the tap [quite safe].
Finally[ literally] by the time you have to go home, you may feel more comfortable getting the RER back to CDG, though only if you manage to cut down opn those suitcases!

I second the idea of using the Batobus pass. Even without the discount, it's very a reasonable way to get around. About 11 EUR per person for a two-day unlimited hop-on-hop-off pass, I think. It stops at the 8 major tourist destinations along the river. And it's so pleasant to see Paris from the Seine. Be sure to take at least one trip on it after dark, to see all the gorgeous lights of Paris.

Hello, I am sorry francophile03 if I am not responding fast enough but I have other things to do besides watching fodor's for replies to my questions.
As for Lisa and her "Excessive" style of packing I agree with palette about that and if you want to talk to her about it be my guest! this is not my first vacation with her and she is set in she ways! Lisa ALWAYS dresses "FANCY"
even if we go to Applebee's so it would be a lost cause to try to change her now. I am also sorry about my "MIND BOGGLING REQUESTS"? I guess I don't know how to ask the right question?
Merci, Rick

Bonjour de nouveau.
Kwren, ask me what?
Michel_Paris, Lisa and I are trying to learn as much French as possible before we go.
Quelqu'un ici louait-il jamais un scooter pendant qu'à Paris ? Je me demandais s'il le vaudrait ?

Je vous en prie...is a fancy way of saying 'you're welcome', in the sense of you having thanked someone.
Your question is understandable, so I think you're qualified!
I might re-phrase the first part...
Est'ce que quelqu'un ici a deja louer un scooter pendant une visite a Paris?
People here have done Fat Bike tours, rollerblade and Segway tours, have not seen any mentions of scooters. I'd be interested in knowing. I've driven a car in Paris and it was fun, but a bit intense (having to pull over regularly to get oriented, driving Place de La Concorde with merging traffic, no traffic lanes) but a scooter...that could be interesting.
