Wow, thanks so much mate! Very interested in the walk, that sounds wonderful. She's into photography and the SLR will be coming along with us so that sounds perfect. We were actually thinking of going up the tower in the evening/night we arrive on thursday, so maybe the line will be shorter? I thought the Louvre might take up more time, its a shame we didn't stay an extra day or two. No doubt when I'm driving this summer we'll make another visit for sure. Maybe that would be a better time to visit and enjoy le Louvre. The music advice is great too, we'll definitely pick up a copy of pariscope when we get there Our hotel is actually very near the tower (suprisingly, as we went for the cheapest hotel we could find on lastminute.com! even get a room with a view of the tower!) in the Hotel Eiffel Rive Gauche, which I read reviews about it being quite an interesting place today. Plenty of shouting and cursing at early hours, sounds fun and an experience! I believe its address is: Hotel Eiffel Rive Gauche 6 Rue du Gros Caillou 75007 Paris Which should be a street or two away from the tower, when I searched it on google earth Thanks again man, forwarding it on to my partner now! Great, just checked the address. Thats sounds romantic for your 1st year anniversary ... direct view on the tower I can not really say when the line will be shorter at the tower, but as you are nearby you can check quickly. Maybe direct on thursday when you arrive at the hotel or friday morning. Just found this link with the opening hours HERE. I have never visited the complete Louvre (shame on me), only entered a few times for temporary expositions in some side wings. Outside of Louvre you can freely walk around, see the "Pyramide"... Down you will find a quick sketch of the walk i described before. The blue dots a good places to have rest . The "Marais" is a bit above to the right of the "Paris" marker. "Rue Vielle du Temple" and the streets around. "Quartier Latin" is a bit down from "Saint-Michel". Your hotel is not on the map, but further to the left. Just for orientation, a complete map you will find with google maps .. If you have time on saturday "Montmartre" is a nice spot as well. Especially for an 1st year anniversary .. kind of artist area and a cliche place for lovers. It's a little mountain with "Sacre-Coeur" on the top and you have a nice view on Paris from there. Not so far is a street only with guitar shops (Rue Douai, near metro "Pigalle" ) .. just in case [attachment=14305:SaintPaul_Concorde.jpg] |

Andy,
Thanks ever so much, really appreciate you taking the time to write all this and even produce maps!! I can't wait to show my girlfriend what information you've provided here, she'll be coming over tomorrow, and I can tell shes excited to read it. I may be given some evil looks if I suggest guitar shops But I've noted it, just incase Montemartre sounds perfect. It's going to be a very cliche long weekend I think! Maybe when we come next time, in less romantic circumstances, we should meet for a drink? Thanks again mate, Adam Great, just checked the address.

Just to add one more suggestion to wrk's great advice...
If the weather is nice and you have time the walk down the Seine from Notre Dame Cathedral to the Tower is lovely and goes past the Musee D'Orsay. D'Orsay is a great art gallery and well worth a visit. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
