Strangely I haven't yet but I shall at the end of this month. Any tips or suggestions of what to do apart from the usual touristy bullshit. And yeah I have already thought about throwing myself off the Eiffel Tower whilst clutching a baguette . I'm not talking about that kinda jazz.

i've been there at least 15 times.

you should visit Angoulême.

yes

wait, I meant no

Strangely I haven't yet
Yeah that's pretty fucking odd right there

I went to France once; it was closed. :erm:

take a knife. I will pay you 15 euro a head for each frenchman you kill, I want scapls as proof of the kill.

never been there, even though it's like 3 hours away by train. Never been in Paris, Berlin nor London. : /

Yeah that's pretty fucking odd right there
I was having a sarcastic joke to myself. Every second fuckwit here things it's odd I haven't flounced round every fucking chanel shop in paree.

you should visit Angoulême.
Why?

fuck the french. they shouldn't have ever stopped saying "freedom fries".

Yes. I've been to Paris, Cannes, Lyon and Strasbourg.

i've only been through it on the bus a couple of times. not the most beautiful country i must say

just kidding. it's probably brill

Yes. I've been to Paris, Cannes, Lyon and Strasbourg.
Any 'tips or tricks' dear? Btw... your name ..it was a band wasn't it? Or something to do with the wonderstuff or new model army or from that same time or..what? No..

It's a Primus album title.

Just one tip: Never go to Lyon.

i think she said go to lyon

oh!

OH!

It's a Primus album title.

Just one tip: Never go to Lyon.
Ah right. I used to date some asshole who was mad into NMA and the wonderstuff and the antipop was something he used to blather on about (non primus related).


And why not Lyon?

It's probably the most boring town in human existance, right after Pencance, Cornwall.
Boring people, boring buildings, boring nightlife, boring everything. Even my bedroom is more interesting than that piece of shit city.

i'm fairly certain my bedroom is more interesting than france

What - interesting to you or the Frenchmen?

yes.

Any tips or suggestions of what to do apart from the usual touristy bullshit.
What cities/areas are you going to visit? How long are you staying? What do you enjoy: nature, wine, water, walks, old castles, sports, big cities, shopping, ...? Do you really want to see the must sees or would you rather avoid to more crowded places?

You could search for the holy grail. This should easily fill the whole trip with lots of adventure.

i hear they know what they're doing with food and wine

1. If you speak some French, speak it and accept correction as encouragement. If you speak a little French, don't speak any and just deal.
2. Bear in mind that the Louvre is more of an amusement park ride these days than it is a museum. If you go, be prepared to keep moving at all costs.
3. Try the cheese. Are you Irish? You should be able to appreciate the cheese.
4. For wine, skip the bottle and go for the jug. Most small towns have one place where the locals go for wine. You're looking for vin ordinaire. It's in a vat. Introduce a jug to the vat and take home some fucking prize wine.
5. Do the café. Sit. Sip. Nibble. Don't bother looking at your watch. If possible, don't even wear a watch.

Best of luck.

6. And If you want to fit in, don't wash or shave.

wait, I meant no


:(

only in my dreams...

dont go to paris. it's loud and smells bad. france is very nice. paris isnt.

Bretagne was awesome. Beautiful scenery, lots of cultural stuff going on. Bordeaux area (limousine) was even better, but a bit too hot for comfort (100 fahrenheit+ for part of my holidays). North of Paris area is yawntastic.

(this is julie. too lazy to log chris out)

i studied in lyon for a month. it's not a very touristy town and its very quiet. there are some pretty parts but there isn't much you can't see elsewhere.

i wish i could have done paris with more time and more money. definitely do pompidou, monmartre, notre dame and musee d'orsay. walk alot. you stumble on amazing neighborhoods that way.

other villages i visited were tours and avignon. both were pretty amazing. you have to go to some castles or palaces while you are there. you won't be disappointed.

hey julie/chris.

Wassup with noyen's site? I wanna say hi to Billbob.

anyway, back on track - the fonz has been to Paris/Bordeaux/Blois (loire valley, next to Tours) Grenoble/Nice
