Any Advice on London/Paris?

[gibbsak]

I won a trip to a weekend retreat in Surrey with my company. It is the 16th and 17th of November, and my wife and I plan to take the whole next week of Thanksgiving off to visit parts England and probably France. Any good ideas or suggestions?

i know everything there is to know about Paris... lived there.

What do you want to know?

[gibbsak]

What is worth seeing over a three day period? Have a limited amount of time to spend.

[cmhatter]

the major landmarks of course:

1. Eiffel Tower

2. Louvre

3. Arc De Triomphe

4. Notre Dame

5. Musee D'Orsay

6. Les Invalides

7. Shopping on Champs Elysees

8. Jardin des Tuilleries

9. Jardin du Luxembourg

10. Sacre Couer

11. Pont du Alexandre

What are your priorities? Seeing the major tourist stuff, eating, local lifestyle?

I really recommend a half day trip to Versaille to see the palace and the gardens... Really unbelievable... Tell me a bit more about what you are looking to do and i can help you.

not sure what we are looking for yet, or how many days we'll have in Paris. Trip will start in Surrey for a seminar then we'll have a week to see London and Paris. I imagine well be hitting mostly tourist attractions.

Probably the best way to hit London would be a multi-day pass for one of the Hop On/Hop Off tours but you'll need to do a little checking into which is best.
