back from paris

we had a woderfull 10 days in paris. weather was fine, overcast but good for walking around. It is amazing to see that in 10 years of going to paris, almost all major monuments and bridges finally cleaned and repaired. It was really the first time i saw most without scaffolding on them

we did some things we have not previously done like the catacombs - baccarac museum - chartres - sewers

we got the museum pass for 3 days and just %26quot;walked in%26quot; to musems the ohter days as my partner is a student so very good discounts at musuems.

went to the Branly and while i like the architecture the inside was far to dark to see where i was going.

thank you all for your help and advise

Glad you had a great visit!

It sure does make a difference without scaffolding!

Hi lpwnyc, I%26#39;m glad you enjoyed your trip to Paris. There are endless opportunities to see and do things. And it seems like this recent trip you got to experience quite alot that you missed on past trips. Now it%26#39;s time to plan another visit!

|||

Wow - 10 days in Paris! Lucky you! I%26#39;m glad you had a wonderful time.

|||

Welcome back ! I also have the Baccarat museum on my list - could you tell a little more about your experience there ??

And, I think that a lot of people would agree with you about the dark Branly if they weren%26#39;t afraid the Museum Police would get all over them. It%26#39;s such a shame that, with all the beautiful pieces there, you either can%26#39;t view it properly or you can%26#39;t read the plate.

How did you like Chartres? I am thinking of doing a day-trip there on my next visit (I leave 2 weeks from today!). How much time did you spend there? Do anything besides visit the cathedral?

%26lt;%26lt;And, I think that a lot of people would agree with you about the dark Branly if they weren%26#39;t afraid the Museum Police would get all over them%26gt;%26gt; HappyGoin, you%26#39;ll be even happier to know that both Irish and myself panned the place in this very forum. The place stinks.

Nice to know I%26#39;m in good company, Phread :)

%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;the first time i saw most without scaffolding on them%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;

You mean to say that steel scaffolding and bright blue and orange plastic aren%26#39;t original, medieval architectural detail and decoration ??? or the most recent CHRISTO art installations ???

How did you get a 3 day musee%26#39;pass -thought they were 2,4,6 now. Tell us about Baccarat
