Paris Trip

[+The HERB5]

Following LeTour for a week and then staying in Paris for Bastille Day.

 

Just in-case I fancied doing a cache

 

Any suggestions ?

Sorry, not a cache. But--if you can get to the Eiffel Tower the night of 13 July (the day before Bastille Day), you can get an incredible sight. Since it stays light so late in France at this time of year, all of the areas around Paris that have local fireworks do them at the same time, right after sunset. If you can get op to the first or second level of the Eiffel Tower, you will see simultaneous fireworks displays all around--360 degrees! My wife and I saw this display in 2000, and we will never forget it!

Where are you flying from? I'm sure there'll be some near your departure airport

I was in Paris for the day as a birthday treat last month, and found five in a walk from Notre Dame to Pont D'Alma, we then carried on to the Eiffel Tower. As it wasn't specifically a caching trip, we incorporated these into our planned walk.

I can also recommend "Heart of Paris" - GCQTP6. We did this nice multi round the Notre Dame on our recent weekend in Paris.

[+G Force]

A couple of easy multi's if you have the time in addition to ones already mentioned

 

Paris in Springtime (GCAD88) where the Doors lead singer was laid to rest but not part of the cache

Tea 4 Tour (Eiffel) (GCZB7M) some nice views of the tower

 

unfortunately

 

GEOPOLY - Chance by biboux (GC10T9F) the series has been archived although cachers are still finding it

 

There seems to be a boom in Paris with caches with about a dozen new ones since I was last there in March 07.

[+The HERB5]

Thanx for all your comments.

[+milvus-milvus]

Bump...

 

Any additions to this list? Especially from Nebias if he has now returned?

We're off to Paris next weekend...

 

Thanks,

Baz.

"Heart of Paris" - GCQTP6 and Tea 4 Tour (Eiffel) (GCZB7M) are two must do Paris caches.

 

I'd never been to the Jardin du Luxembourg so the two Latin Quartier caches GC134KP and GC135EY were great for me.

 

Would liked to of done Le parc Monceau GC13ETC but when I got there I noticed I hadn't got the pictures.

 

Get you thinking cap on for these two

The mysterious lettre - la lettre mistérieuse GC13KC4, solved but couldn't find.

The Da Vinci Code GC13QC3, couldn't solve part 2.

After trying these two I would suggest any cache by zarbatavis.

 

Bon voyage.

I recommend the small "Petite Ceinture" series by u_man. You've never been anywhere like this in Paris - an abandoned ring-railway which circles the whole city. You may have to go a few hundred metres from the cache to find an entrance through the fence, but it's worth it.

Jardin des Plantes is very nice too, and if you do it, make sure you go to the turkish cafe near the main entrance (not the entrance nesarest the Seine) the sweets are fantastic!
