I am planning to arrive in Paris by the Train from London via the English Channel. I wanted to know whether it is advisable to stay at the Sheraton Airport Hotel in Paris if I want to go sight-seeing to Eiffel Tower and Louvre Museum and the Bridge in Paris. Also, how long would it take to cover the whole of Paris (sight-seeing)? Is there any particular tour of Paris that I should be aware of? Please advise.
I agree: BAD BAD BAD idea. Coming by train you will be lucky to arrive directly in downtown Paris so why stay at a hotel far out in the suburbs if you are coming to visit Paris?
You could walk between the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre (3 km = under 2 miles) or take the métro or bus. Check the http://www.ratp.fr website to download maps and other info. How long it takes to cover the whole of Paris depends on your idea of sightseeing. 2 days is a bare minimum to get a glimpse of the main attractions. But you could stay weeks and not have time to enjoy everything either.
No need to take tours unless maybe those bicycle tours, they are kinda fun and you learn a lot. A less sporty way of seeing the main attraction is the boat tours on the Seine. If you are traveling alone and haven’t prepared your trip much hiring a tour guide for yourself can be a good idea for half a day or so, otherwise forget it. Your hotels will have brochures or you can get a list or tour guides from the tourist office (www.parisinfo.com). Don’t go on any of the big tours, they are ridiculous and a complete waste of time.
I have plan to arrive in Paris by a Train from London around an English Channel. I longed to know either it is receptive to advice to stay at a Sheraton Airport Hotel in Paris if I wish to go sight-seeing to Eiffel Tower as well as Louvre Museum as well as a Bridge in Paris. Also, how prolonged would it take to cover a total of Paris (sight-seeing)?
Is there any sold debate of Paris which I should be wakeful of? Please advise.
I’m coming to Paris for the first time this summer and I don’t speak a word of French. I’ll be staying at the Séjours & Affaires Reims Clairmarais in Reims. I’m wondering how far is the Eiffel Tower, the Bastille, and Sacré-Coeur from this hotel?
Also, I’m coming by train via Gare Du Nord Station.
