Go straight to FdN and forget thé tourist sight seeing bull (Eiffel tower will survive your absence. ..but if you do go, you might not (the place is swarming with. ..pick pocketing Roms. Also Police and Army patrols and the occasional terrorist. Then there is the occasional gang fight ,amongst the blacks and arabs from the slums
And all this, just to get a pituresque view with a thrill ..jeeze
Get your arse straight to Fort de Nogent and avoid talking to strangers (that's a joke, btw none the less a serious one
Paris is a dangerous place and you are not on your turf,c'est pas ton jardin
Tourist, you risk
FdN is a charming, cozy résidence
The food is adéquate and always served on time
The sheets are clean
It also has the cleanist, shineist, bling bling toilettes in the whole capital, maybe even the whole of France .Must be due to the benified holy water used to flush the blues away
Leave your driver licence at home
Your id card/pass port and birth certificat is enougth
Good luck and dont forget to write us a post, oh so dear, once you are settled
