On The Road: Late Arrivals into Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris

Paris, here we are!

Lesson learned: If you get into Charles de Gaulle airport after 11pm...be ready to take a taxi into city centre! The last train left at 10:55, and the buses stop around then too. It took us lots of walking around the airport to figure this out, especially getting different information from different people. Apparently there's a night bus, but the guy at information didn't seem to think it was that safe? Good to know for next time!

City Guide: Paris, France

From the first time I arrived in Paris years ago, it has remained as my favorite city in Europe. There's just something about it. I finally returned in December 2011 after years of not visiting and while the weather wasn't great (cold, windy and rainy), the city was just as lovely and I got quite nostalgic seeing my old hot spots.

• Places to go
• Shakespeare & Company Bookstore (37 rue de la Bûcherie, 75005 Paris)- I love these little bookstores. We crossed over the bridge over the Seine from the Notre Dame Cathedral and stumbled onto to this gem of a bookstore.
• Good eats
• CREPES! I love these things - especially the savory ones! My ingredients of choice are ham (jambon), cheese (fromage), mushrooms (champignons) and egg (oeuf). I could eat these everyday!
• Getting around
• The metro, while not the nicest, is quite extensive and basically can take you everywhere!

This will be updated with more!
