+Gowenhouse Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Visiting France next week. Does anyone know of any decent caches in Paris particularly near the landmarks Eiffel Tower etc. They will have to be quick ones as we only have a day in the city and I expect the wife will want to shop!!! Quote
+G Force Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Heart of Paris GCQTP6 although a multi and can be time comsuming is in the centre of the city and a good cache to start your search with. You'll see there are mostly virtuals nearby with a webcam another multi and a micro. Who is She? GC6612 gives a good view of the the tower but not close. Silver 14 (Paris) GCK1WV closest tradtional from centre Liberty's Flame GC63DB interesting site for another reason If you make it to the top of Sacre Coeur Basilique you'll get good views of the city with 1 virtual and 2 traditional caches. Enjoy your day. Quote
+Firth of Forth Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Brilliant!! Saves me from asking exactly the same question for a visit in July. That is if my daughter will let me do any caching of course....will have to sneak away..... Quote
+The Mars Bars Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Heart of Paris is well worth knowing about, I have used it to drop coins and TB's off since finding it late last year. Les Etats-Unis is also a good central Traditional cache. Have a good trip. Dave Quote
+kewfriend Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Les Etats-Unis is also a good central Traditional cache. grrrrrrrrrr .... one of my endless DNFs Quote
+John Stead Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 As my virtual "Who is She?" has been mentioned I have to say that Paris has vandals too (surprise, surprise!!) and the plate giving the information I asked for has been nicked so instead the answer wanted is what the young lady has in her hand, apart from a load of seagull sh** Have a good trip!

+tteggod trackers Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 have a look at my profile i walked the three i did although i think the nano has now been archived.i'm there from the bank holiday monday so let me know if you find any good ones!!! Quote
+Gowenhouse Posted May 17, 2006 Author Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) Thanks for all your help. Is there any near the Eiffel Tower? Edited May 17, 2006 by Gowenhouse Quote
+G Force Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 Depends on what you define as near but there are none in the immediate vicinity. Quote
+sTeamTraen Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 Last time I checked there were 15 caches active inside the périphérique; I'm going to try for as many of them as possible on Friday 26th May (prior to the Paris-area event on the Saturday). Quote
+tteggod trackers Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 nearest to eifel tower is GC63DB but this is a virtual. Quote
+The Village People (Sussex) Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 (edited) We found a micro in the Montparnasse cemetary - the one where all the artisists/poets/philosophers are entombed- I think it was called SilverII, but I'll check and get back to you. It took us about an hour because we were looking at the famous statues and monuments, but it could be a lot quicker. We then had a coffee which cost 4.5 euros each! Although not dead central it was only a few metro stops on from the Centre de George Pompedieu. Just checked - Silver 14 (Paris) GCK1WV Edited May 20, 2006 by The Village People (Sussex) Quote
SandyGarrity Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 Seeing the Metric or Imperal posting above this one, at the time of writing, leads me to ask if you will have the GPS set to km or miles when in France? Quote
