Title: Re: Winners 22 - 28 April 2013 Post by: bubbalor on Tuesday 23 April 2013, 05:36:29 pm Thank you everyone :) for such a positive and warm congratulatory response. To those that have asked, no I've never been anywhere in Europe, so this is an amazing adventure. Will have to save some money though tot come up with accommodation and spending money, but that's ok, i'm just so thrilled that this expensive opportunity has been greatly reduced in cost by free airfares. :) Who knows, I may just be blessed enough to have a few cash wins before I go and that will help. All the best to everyone else who is hanging in there, or on the couch :) xxx

Here are a couple of Paris hotels l can thoroughly recommend... http://www.hotel-paris-orient.com/ ... A little further out amongst the everyday Parisiennes but absolutely charming plus a subway and market nearby. http://www.excelsior-opera.com/english/chambres.html ... Right in the middle of the action with the major shops and cafes all around. Enjoy!

Book "Where Have All The Pixies Gone?" for my grand-daughter http://madmummassweetrandoms.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/where-have-all-pixies-gone-review.html?m=1 (http://madmummassweetrandoms.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/where-have-all-pixies-gone-review.html?m=1) And a DVD "Mega Truckers" for myself: http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/dvd/dvd-genres/tv/megatruckers-season-1/680455 (http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/dvd/dvd-genres/tv/megatruckers-season-1/680455) Title: Re: Winners 22 - 28 April 2013 Post by: crazysigner on Friday 26 April 2013, 11:29:21 pm Bubbalor, I've been researching cheap accommodation in Paris (only wishful thinking unfortunately) and if you're going to stay at least a week there you might want to look into apartment rentals. We checked out family hostels first (there are 4 of us) but found several apartments that were much cheaper and looked great on http://www.waytostay.com/ And with an apartment your food costs are a lot less as you have a kitchen.

We checked out family hostels first (there are 4 of us) but found several apartments that were much cheaper and looked great on http://www.waytostay.com/ And with an apartment your food costs are a lot less as you have a kitchen. I've stayed three times in Paris in the last three years using http://www.myapartmentparis.com and been very happy each time. Just be aware that you must pick up your keys yourself from their office in the 10th district after 5:00pm so it's handy to be relatively close to there or figure out how you are going to get to your apartment. I like the 10th as it is not touristy at all but still has great markets and local shops for food etc. It is a little more of a recent immigrant area so can be a little bit of a culture shock for some (my 13 year old son had certainly never seen a street which was just African hair and beauty salons). Google maps street view can give you an idea what is around the location you are looking at. Each time we stayed we used the Velib bikes to get around Paris almost exclusively. It's a great way to discover Paris - but maybe not for everyone. I had downloaded off line maps to my iPhone so knew roughly where we were going and where the nearest Velib stop was (you have to change over every 1/2 hour if you don't want to pay extra). We did do the Fat Tire Bike Tours of Paris and I can recommend the day time ride as a great way to get a feel of what is around in a safe environment. The night time ride is also fun but is a little more daunting. If you are thinking of extending your stay to do a bit of rail travel in Europe I would suggest using http://www.seat61.com to plan your trip and figure out how to buy tickets. Do not purchase from Australian resellers unless you are super cautious - they charge an arm and a leg for what you can easily buy yourself online. PM me if you want more details.

Just be aware that you must pick up your keys yourself from their office in the 10th district after 5:00pm so it's handy to be relatively close to there or figure out how you are going to get to your apartment. Here's my suggestion for an apartment - http://www.ahparis.com/index.php?lang=en (http://www.ahparis.com/index.php?lang=en) I've used them before and they meet you at the apartment with keys. "My" flat is no longer listed but was in the 1st arrondissement (district) - close to Chatelet - a major station that connects with the airport, shops and the river. I haven't tried the bikes, happy to use the Metro, but I did see a Sunday morning guided bike tour once - that would be a quiet, safe time to pedal. (And check the bird market across from Notre Dame on Sunday mornings!) And if you can negotiate with the promoters, I'd highly recommend flying in to Paris and out of London (or vice versa) and catching the Eurostar to see a bit of London while you're that close. Book train tickets online as soon as they open 90 days in advance for the cheapest prices. AT LEAST take a ride somewhere on one of the magnificent TGV trains. Maybe a night in Avignon. And yes, Ross is totally right about buying train tickets directly online and http://www.seat61.com (http://www.seat61.com) is unbeatable. |
