I had been to Paris 9 times: why not round numbers? Said than done! Book in July 2005 trip for the month of January 2006: no less than 6 months in advance can I book a flight from Bergamo with Ryanair to Beauvais 60 euri a / r. I discover later that if I booked in November, I spent 36 euri, but never mind ...
Departure at 06:30 in the morning requires me to leave home at 3 am but it is a sacrifice that I do willingly.
Before 8 am landed in Beauvais, and from there we await the 'bus to Porte Maillot. Tickets already purchased on the Internet: the queues at the ticket office to leave to others.
1 hours and 45 voyages and 10 are in central Paris. Practically since I left home when I arrived, it took 7 hours.
I had been 2 times in Paris with Easyjet and I must admit that despite the higher prices on average, is in any case far more comfortable than Ryanair Linate - Orly at 13 is a whole other thing in relation to 'Orio - Beauvais 06:30 just made. It 'true that with the Easy less time you stay in Paris because then he starts at 11 am (against 22.30 of Ryan) but is much less stressful. In addition, we calculate the 26 euri for travel by bus to / r. However on arrival we drag in a cafe drinking a coffee lousy with the sole purpose of being able to change the 'water to the chickpeas. Forgot: we will stay 2 nights, from Saturday to Monday and obviously we have the only hand luggage. I hate to travel with checked baggage at check in because then you lose a mess of all time 'arrival. Especially when you make a elbow to take his place on the 'bus.
Who has never been to Paris know that the city has the best public transport in the world: do not make the fucking rent a car.
We did the Paris Visite, a kind of subscription that allows unlimited travel on all or nearly all public transport.
First stop by metro to the Trocadero, the place most trivial of Paris to see the Eiffel Tower. Tourists everywhere. Usual picture of ritual and walk to the Champs de Mars where we take a bus to the Tour Montparnasse, a bargain black high 200 yards from where you see a cool scene like the one you see from the Eiffel Tower. The difference is that here is a time to queue, go up immediately (if you followed my advice and have bought the Paris Visite, you also discount).
Meanwhile has become the 'lunch hour and head to the Forum des Halles, where to eat Flunch (a self-service restaurant where you eat things with little more or less normal).
In the afternoon we take possession of our room at the Timhotel Italie (paid sixty eurini night b / b on Octopustravel) and then we do the usual walk along the avenue of the Champs Elysées. Usually mundane photo to 'bow and then we throw in' Atelier Renault, which more than a dealership seems an amusement park. We'll see the usual Grand and Petit Palais and then the usual photos of the Seine and the usual photos to Les Invalides with all guns out. Warning: I am writing from what seems like a pain in the ass but it is not so! Paris is always fantastic and is one of the few places where I live.
Meanwhile, it is dark and we head to Pigalle, the usual local neighborhood with the usual porn, where we take the usual Montmartre funicular to go to the usual (but not before he had a bianchino dearest, SGAS disgusting and crowded into a kind of inn and dim and distant at the foot of the hill of Montmartre). There will be something like 1000 tourists per square meter, all with their beautiful new digital bought for the trip to Paris. Even Parisians' s shadow. Italians recognize them immediately: first because they (do) a large casino, and second because they are pictures with mobile.

Usual tour around the Sacre Coeur in the midst of real and fake pictures of artists and usual ritual and then back down the hill and go to dinner at Leon de Bruxelles (it's a chain of brasseries) where we take the usual pot of mussels and the usual ton of fries. Children's menu for children with surprise. Really good, I'll give him a bit 'of stars on my Michelin guide staff. And the toilets are clean, quite unusual in Paris.
Fatigue begins to be felt but not give up. After dinner usual walk around the Pyramids of the Louvre (you have seen and / or read THE DA VINCI CODE??) And then enough in bed!
The morning alarm clock at 6 am and breakfast at the hotel. Then away with metro and RER to Marne La Vale for the usual visit to Disneyland. I will not dwell on explanations of the various attractions that are within and outside the park because they have been widely described in other stories, but I tell you one thing: if you have never been there go there! For me it was the fifth time but I never get tired. Ticket prices are absurd, and if it seems expensive Gardaland here gasped, but well worth it. The evening dinner at Disney Village, just opposite the park, the Rainforest Cafe. Ultracaro restaurant (a bottle of water costs 6 euri, the rest in proportion) but really incredible tropical forest-like environment with fake storm, fake animals that move, aquarium, etc..
Let us take the RER back to the hotel now disintegrated. In such missions should never underestimate the rest (even more important than 'power). Should stop to rest 10-15 minutes every hour, but since you do not hardly ever get to rotting evening. We arrive at a theme park 30 minutes before the 'opening hours and then run away a bit' before 'closing time to avoid the mess.
L 'arrival in advance is still important to take advantage of the most popular attraction when there is less people. If you are the smart ones buy them tickets in the stations of the RATP and not to 'entrance of the park: the cost is the same but do not make the row.
The mattima later we wade around around the city. We must wait for the 18 return battered bus to Beauvais.
We go to the cottage, strange district canal Saint Martin (merits a visit) and finally we go into bars are not frequented by tourists, dirty, smoky, frequented by misunderstandings and lousy coffee but the prices are half of the bars inchiappetta-tourists) .
From here with a very long bus ride (preferably at the meter if you have time) we reached the usual cathedral of Notre Dame. Usual and customary photo t-shirts (made in China) bought in the usual shops traps-for-tourists. From what we have done 30, we 31 and go to the Tour Eiffel (crazy!) But only up to the 2nd floor as the 'last one is closed for maintenance.
Lunch at fast food and then goes to Defense, the ultramodern neighborhood on the outskirts of Paris. Who does not know go there, it's amazing!
Let us take the RER to the center and do the 'last walk until the' bus.
Once in Beauvais, we do our usual row from the check in and big sheep's start promptly at 22:30.
We arrive in Bergamo a bit 'before midnight e. .. good night everyone!
