Paris. Help!!!
 
I'm going in Paris next moth and I'd like to know how much are the tickets for the main places of interest, like Louvre, Disneyland, Eiffel Tower e.t.c. Thanks

It depends on what you want to see (and also when you visit).

What is "e.t.c."?

Do you have a good guidebook? Any decent one should tell you the costs, as well as opening hours, available discounts, and so forth, of the sights listed within.

Frommers is particularly detailed in this respect. Both in the books, and on frommers.com

The info is also available here on Fodors in the "Destinations" area under Paris. http://fodors.com/miniguides/mgresul...ur_section=sig

What's wrong with visiting Disneyland?

nytraveler Mar 16th, 2006 05:30 PM

Hardly one of the major sites of Paris! Not even in the top 100. If you have little kids and are forced to OK - but if you must waste time at Disney why not just do it in Orlando?

Robespierre Mar 16th, 2006 05:36 PM

'Cause flying to France is cheaper?

Zoe Mar 16th, 2006 05:38 PM

Hey, where you choose to go (like Disneyland) is entirely up to you - not everyone is from North America! Obviously lots of people do go there or it wouldn't be around for long.

I believe 'e.t.c.' is 'etc.'

I'll be in Paris this summer as well so appreciate the web sites.

Robespierre Mar 16th, 2006 08:18 PM

I am fully aware that e.t.c. is a unique way of abbreviating <i>et cetera</i> (have known for sixty years).

My question is: what other sights/sites do you need help/guidance/opinion/instruction/direction for?

100 euros last May for me covered one disneyland ticket(to both parks), a three day museum pass, ride to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and a ticket into the Versailles Gardens(not covered by museum pass)

Thanks for everyone that replied to this post. Robespierre, i read somewhere that in Versaille they put music and the fountines on, on specific time. When is that?

Anyway, I'm 22 years old student and I think Disneyland would be interesting to visit. btw nytraveler I'm from Europe

You should be aware that Disneyland Paris is not quite like Disneyland in the US. I suppose it depends what you are looking for - Fantasy v Thrills.

At the site in Paris there are only a couple of so-called white-knuckle rides, and even those are considered fairly tame (when compared to rides with names like Oblivion, Nemesis Inferno, Colossus, Detonator).

My kids, when offered the option of Disneyland Paris, voted against it because they weren't particularly interested in Mickey et al, and opted for the real thrill rides to be found at parks in the UK.

But if you are wanting fantasy rather than thrills then Disneyland Paris could be the place for you.
