How about a boat trip on the Seine. You will see all the main sights in comfort :) Also some of the commentary can be interesting :) That then leaves time for Shopping - what most girls really like to do lol

Catie - thanks, yes i did think of that - don't know if they run all year or not, but worth investigating :O)

CatieI Report 1 Jan 2010 22:30

Yes, I think they do run all year. I wondered what it would be like to be honest, but found the commentary really good - a lot was really amusing. Hope you have a lovely time :)

I'd have to sneak in a visit to the British Embassy where my ggggrandparents married in 1832. Other than that It would have to be all the regular tourist sites

Dear McAnne's Gahan-Crazy

Hello

It would have to be Disney World to satisfy the youngsters.

I would like to see some of the paintings though, in the galleries.

I suppose I could take Mickey Mouse in with me!

Best wishes

My granddaughter of 14 is into dance - so for us the Can Can would be a must.

Ooh la la.

If said 14 year old is interested in art then the Musee D'Orsey is great. Then if it is a she I expect some of the big fashion stores, Mon Martre, Sacre Coeur, Notre Dame, A trip on the Seine, the Bateaux run like a bus service. The left bank with all the book stalls etc.

2 days umm,and a 14yr old boy.
Disneyland,as long as you are willing to go on the rides also.
Eiffel Tower,but do go to the very top,its worth it.
Versailles is wonderful,but maybe not for a 14 yr old?
Take a walk to Notre Dame,being out there with the people is cheap and interesting,the artist in the streets are very talented.And their pastries.yum.
Have fun!
