I suppose with a trip to Paris it deserves a lovely to do list before I head off. Don’t want to forget anything since I hardly get to holiday much. If you can think of more things to add or places you’d recommend feel free to comment, especially those native people 🙂 (though it’s a bit late :()
Anyhow, here’s a list of things I need to bring/pack/buy:
- Tickets
- Passport
- Wallet
- Phone (emergancies and pre/post paris)
- Euro adaptors (got 2 woo)
- Euros
- Tripod and remote/ext (want to take some scenary shots with me and Alice in them)
- dslr with all memory cards (raw baby)
- Clothes
- Toothbrush etc
- ipod
- ipod charger adaptor (phone and ipod uses usb!)
Here are places to go and things to do, feel free to suggest anything, Alice won’t read this hehe:
- Eiffel fucking tower
- Take stereotypical photo of it and perhaps lash kev’s photo of it
- Go cafe’ing inside Eiffel
- Buy a small eiffel tower for Alice
- The lourve
- That arc thingy
- Buy a beret! Need to look like a native french person :p
- Make fists with feet on carpet, die hard style (not plane trip but meh, it’s a tradition)
- Try a snail nigiri
- Some candlelit action, either small restaurant or picnic
- french bread, nom nom
- check out opera house del phantom
Update
Well, I actually did everything I put on the list so that’s pretty epic 🙂
4 Comments to Paris to do list
How about visiting the wee café they filmed Amelie in? I always meant to go there when I’ve been in Paris but never had the time.
Go see the graves of Oscar Wilde, Chopin and Jim Morrison. It may sound like a grim place to go but it’s great in there!
This place is quite interesting, an artist’s squat at 59 rue de rivoli. You can go in and walk around and see the art of the people who basically.. live and paint there. It’s quite cool inside and you go up and up and up the stairs.
That’s all I can think of at the moment. Hope the weather is good for you! Safe trip 🙂
Excellent ideas! Shame the amelie internal bits were shot in a german studio 🙁
Still, seems like a nice place to relax and have a drink 🙂
Aye, I will see if Alice is up for holding a teaspoon before eating creme brûlée
