April in Paris - wonderful!
Our last trip as a group was to Paris, a return trip for three of us and the first time for one. How can anyone not want to return to Paris, it's so great - open, walkable, not too big, fantastic architecture, lots to do, you could never get enough of Paris.
We booked our flights with www.opodo.co.uk flying with British Airways from Bristol. The prices with Opodo were cheaper than on BA's own site, they often are it's worth checking. Book as soon as you can and you will get the cheapest flights, the nearer the date the more the price goes up, or go to www.skyscanner.net which is a great site for showing you the cheap deals.
We stayed at a decent mid-price hotel near the Eiffel Tower called the Eiffel Park. We paid 99 Euros for a twin room and booked it with www.france-hotel-guide.com . We did all the usual tourist things, but it was great. Up the Eiffel Tower to the top, on the Seine in a Bateaux Mouche, sat in the parks and eat our crepes, etc. The Musee d'Orsay is a must, fantastic inside, go to the Cafe at the top and look through the clock window, then have a fantastic hot chocolate on the roof overlooking Paris with a lovely view of Sacre Coeur! See the photo above! You must also go to see the Eiffel Tower lit up at night, the lights dance up and down it every hour, magical!
