Airport Shuttle

Distance from city: 14km (9 miles)
Terminal South is for most airlines
including Air Malta, easyJet, El Al, Swiss
and Turkish Airlines.
Terminal West is primarily for Air France
flights plus Iberia and TAP Air Portugal.

And I have not yet mentioned the superb selection of Parisienne
restaurants and cafes, the haute couture or a stroll beside the
Seine. There are the many monuments, art galleries, palaces,
gardens and museums to enjoy. But don’t worry because you can
always come back another day and they will still be there waiting
for you.

Paris is one of the world’s most romantic and intriguing cities. The
Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel) is the focal point for many visitors. On a
clear day the views over the city and beyond are exquisite. Built in
1889 by Gustav Eiffel, it was way ahead of its time. Take the lift to
the third stage and gaze over Paris at your leisure. You can even
see the enormous springs which it is mounted on if you go
downstairs.

With the help of a guide book it is easy to soak in the atmosphere
of Paris on foot. The famous Champs Elysee leads to the Arc de
Triomphe where, apart from the obvious, you can be amazed at
the hectic, non-stop traffic that encircles it. For exclusive shopping
the Place Vendome is the place to visit; then relax with a coffee or
aperitif in one of the many pavement cafes.

To get the most out of your holiday budget, the Paris Pass allows
you into all the most popular attractions at a discounted rated.
You also avoid the queues by presenting your pass at the ticket
desk. It is a wonderful feeling to be treated as a VIP in Paris!

Outside Paris, the Chateau de Versailles is arguably the most
opulent structure in France. Originally built as a hunting lodge,
later enlarged it fell into disrepair after the French Revolution and
was eventually restored in 1952. Situated to the south west of
Paris, you will need a whole day to visit but take note, it is closed
on Mondays.

For the kids (or the kid inside you), Disneyland has developed into
a great holiday in itself. Here you can meet all the favourite
characters in a never ending sea of colour, sound and lights.

Nightlife in Paris is as elegant as the city herself. Perhaps you
would like to book a show after dining in one of the many
gourmet restaurants for which France is so famous. Indulge in
some great wines and finish your meal with a great cognac. You
will be utterly spoilt for choice. Bon Apetit!

The French and Parisians in particular, love to be spoken to in
their own language, so making an effort in that direction will
endear you to them. Try learning a few phrases for ordering your
drinks or your hotel room. They may laugh a little at your
pronunciation but at least you tried and its fun too.

The weather in Paris is generally good from spring until the
autumn and surprisingly for some, August can be a great time to
visit. It is warm or even hot at times but it is also the time when
many Parisians take their holidays. Consequently it is not quite as
crowded.

Getting to Paris is simple via the Charles de Gaulle or Orly airports
and you can even combine a visit to London using the Eurorail
fast train if your time permits.

Parisienne Holiday
By Edward Kirwan

One night in Paris is simply not enough. With so much to
experience by day and by night you simply must allow yourself
more time. If you close your eyes and name the first five things
that spring to mind you will see what I mean.
The Eiffel Tower, The Champs Elysee, Notre Dame, the Louvre,
Montmartre, La Moulin Rouge and not forgetting Disney Land
are some names that spring to mind.
Do you imagine for one moment you could fit these into a day or a
week-end stay in Paris.

Paris is for lovers. Lovers of culture, lovers of art, lovers of
fashion, of architecture, of history, of beauty and the list goes on.
Put Paris on your list of places to visit and you will become a lover
too..
