The Paris Travel Blog

Paris Blog day tripWe'll take a diversion from our regular Paris blogs.   One my favorite day trips is to take the easy 1 ½ hour train ride up to Brussels (known as Bruxelles in French).  Trains run frequently from Gare du Nord into Brussels Midi station.  The round trip fare is less than $100 if you book in advance.

Brussels is a terrific walking city.  It’s funky, it’s gothic, and you just cannot beat the mussels and beer.  You must have a Belgian waffle and bring home some chocolate with you.    In many ways it is much different than Paris.  English is widely spoken.   For Brussels tourist info, including a map, try this link: http://www.visitbelgium.com/  

Read the Paris blog and find out what to see on a day trip to Brussels.

paris foreign transaction feesMuch has been written on the web lately regarding the use of credit cards and ATM cards overseas.   I have investigated the situation rather thoroughly.  In this Paris blog I will give you some advice and warnings about using credit cards and ATM cards in Paris.

Latin Quarter ParisPeople often ask me what area they should stay in Paris.   In fact, just about any area isn’t bad.  Paris is serviced by an excellent transportation system.  It is a safe city, providing ordinary precautions are taken.   Good resources and services such as restaurants and stores are widely spread throughout the city.  

However, when I conducted a recent survey on www.travelingprofessor.com, respondents overwhelmingly responded that “location” should be the foremost reason for selecting a hotel.  In my opinion, the best place to stay in Paris for a traveler is the Latin Quarter.

speaking french in parisI get this question (or some variation of it) all of the time.   Some people are intimidated about going to Paris because they think the “language barrier” will be a problem.   They want to know how much French they will be required to learn before they travel to Paris and they also want to know if the French speak enough English to communicate with them.   In this blog, I will tell you exactly what you need to know in order to communicate with our French friends in Paris.

Italy Video Blog: The Palio di Siena
Twice each summer, Siena, Italy is the scene of Il Palio di Siena.   It is a 10-horse race (bareback) that would not be out of the ordinary if it did not take place in the compact Piazza del Campo, the square at the center of Siena.   Thousands of onlookers pack the Piazza and cheer as the 90-second wild race takes place.  Jockeys are often thrown from their horses and the action passes dangerously close to the specators.  It is reminiscint of the crazy scene one might see at the running of the bulls in Pamplona.
