anybody like to visit Paris?



If you're looking for destinations in Europe, Paris should be near the top of the list. Like any trip, be sure to plan ahead. I was told that September is the busiest month for tourism in Paris, so book your hotel room well in advance.

Upon arrival, there are a couple of important sites which you wouldn't want to miss.

First, the Eiffel Tower. Hated when it was built as an ugly monstrosity, it's now one of the most famous landmarks in the world. There are four lines to get onto the tower, so look for the shortest one. Don't be afraid to haggle over souvenirs underneath it, and make sure to go to the top of the tower at least once.

Second, thanks to Victor Hugo (and Disney's) famous Hunchback, don't miss Notre Dame Cathedral, where Napoleon took the crown out of the Pope's hands and crowned himself. If you don't mind a bit of a wait and a climb up 386 stairs, the view from the bell tower is worth it.

When it comes to accomodation in Paris, it is wise of you to search and compare in the web while deciding where you would like to be based. You can check out Paris accomodation at Cheaperthanhotels dot com since the site is known for its fabulous deals all year round, with other specials from time to time. Usually, you may like to find accommodations near the places of interest if you can afford. Otherwise, you may like to stay at suburb areas and consider traveling around with a rental car.
