Hi,

I am at the early stage of planning a trip to France. Mostly will just go to 2 cities and the surrounding area, Paris and Bordeaux.

Any of you been there and restaurant, site, transportation tips?

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I will also update this thread with my own research. Currently I have city map, tourist map and some restaurant business cards from my friends who went to Bordeaux in 2008. The city looks very walkable and lovely.

I am a total fans of arts. I went to 4 in Rome, 3 in Florence, 2 in Venice on my last trip and I wasn't tire of it. I am planning to spend at least 1 whole day at Louvre.

Rome has a similar pass but it includes 2 attractions and transit pass so that's a more flexiable deal.

I think the best part is to skip the line ups because there is a pass only entrence line.

Shouldn't we talk about paris in the other thread?[/quote]

The discussion is about getting the Paris Museum Pass.

The list of Museums and Monuments is very long.
e.g. Arc de Triomphe, Louvre, Notre-dome, Pantheon, Sainte-Chapelle ... And I still haven't done my homework on what to do in Paris yet.

Just got a small pocket book, Paris day by day from Costco for $7.99.
They also have one for London, LV, NYC, Venice, Rome...etc
I think it's a pretty good size to bring along and it also comes with a foldout map.
