Paris!

No WAY. This is the best procrastination EVER. I've just temporarily scripted days, depending on when things are open and proximity of places. Obviously add what you want to do. I've also added the websites if you click on the "notes" section for each place. Also under the "notes" section for the first item listed every day is my general rationale for why I chose those particular activities.

Bring your walking shoes!

Notes
I know we get in Sunday afternoon, and this might seem like a lot to do the first day, but really, the main thing is the walking tour which will hit everything I have listed for the day - plus, this is the neighbourhood we'll be staying in, and it's good to be oriented.

Au Gamin de Paris

The best restaurant ever. (Marais)
Restaurant
Sun Mar 26 7:00pm - Sun Mar 26 9:00pm
Notes
I ate here once a week when I lived in Paris, and I always ordered the same thing: salade au confit de canard, a carafe of the house red, and either a slice of the amazing chocolate cake or a strawberry tart, if the latter was in season. After awhile, they joked that they weren't going to give me a menu anymore. This is what exemplifies neighbourhood bistro to me - not fancy, but good food reasonably priced. I miss this place. We might have to eat here twice.

Notes
Hopefully, we'll be rested for this day, as it's sort of a long one, at least distance wise. We'll start all the way at the Eiffel Tower, at the west side of the city, and then head eastbound, metroing it over to the Louvre. Afterwards, walking around the two islands located in the Seine, which are coincidentally near our apartment, so we can then go shopping in the Marais which has SUCH cute stores and eat sorbet Berthillon.

Closed Mondays

Tickets are 7.5 euros w/o special exhibition, 9 with special exhibition

This day we'll spend primarily on the left bank, which admittedly I am not as familiar with (save for all the shopping) because none of my friends except for Nicky lived here. And Nicky preferred the Marais (um, the gay part of town...), which was close to where I lived, so really, we never spent time here. But I know where all my favourite stores are.

This day will be like day 2, but going in the reverse direction, starting at the Marais (where the Beaubourg is) and going west until we end up at the Arc de Triomphe (which is north of, and roughly across the river from, the Eiffel Tower).
