We stayed a few blocks from the Eiffel Tower and almost died of heat every single night! Because it was so hot during the day, it stormed every single night, which was kind of nice because we opened up our window and caught a breeze. Be sure to bring a compact umbrella for everyone in your group - you don't want to lug around a huge golf umbrella, but you will definitely need to take one every where you go because the weather is iffy each day. We visited the American Embassy when we first arrived, and they suggested we buy a pass for the underground train - not a good idea, as the train didn't stop near anything we wanted to see! So.......invest in some really good walking shoes and plan on doing the city by foot. It's the best way to really get close to the Parisians anyway. Remember --- it's PARIS, so if you are easily offended, you'll be frequently offended! We witnessed a couple making love on the grass in a park right up from the Louvre! It fascinated my young son, who thought they were wrestling! LOL Enjoy your stay -- and plan to spend several hours standing in line for the Louvre and Tower, but they are SO worth it! I wish you well!!! Be sure to request a hotel with air conditioning!!!!!

There is no tour guide, or anything else, included.

Better just taking the 3 line (green) to Opera and change for the 8 (purple) to Ecole Militaire. You will be at the other end of the Champs de Mars, making for a fantastic 1km walk and build-up to the actual tower (it's a park built in the tower's perpective, so you admire it all the time you're walking. the RER is complicated and sometimes you have to wait a while.

Just get a good guide book, like Michelin, and it will tell you the places to go and how to get there. Much of Paris can be done by walking; just plan your days doing area by area so that you're not running around aimlessly. Bear in mind that the Metro is easy once you know to look for the station that is at the end of the line. (In London, you look for "Eastbound", etc.) I've done Paris many times, but spent a little time planning. It's a wonderful city; have a lovely time.

However, if you're shopping for a Guide Book I HIGHLY recommend Rick Steves' guide books for both locations. Rick has specific guides just for the cities of London and Paris as well as books on all of England and France in case you are traveling outside the cities. You shouldn't need to buy all 4, if you are leaving the cities, the country books alone should give you plenty of info. I've always been a fan of Rick's books because he points you in inexpensive and fun directions that help you travel like a local but see all the touristy stuff. He also designs self walking tours of towns and museums. Saves you the money of paying for a tour and you've got all the info at your finger tips. The Rick Steves books really are the most thorough and interesting. They also seem to be the only line that takes traveling like a local and costs in mind constantly. You can get used Rick Steves books on eBay, amazon or half. He comes out with a new version each year so you can get used 2005 or 2006 books that will still be accurate but will be a lot cheaper. Check out his other travel tips and info for London and Paris at his web site www.ricksteves.com The Lets Go Guidebooks are also heavily recommended, but I find them a lot more boring and I've had bad experiences with hotels and restaurants they recommended. Hope this helps, enjoy your trip! Cheers. The above advice is good, it's an excellent idea to get all the free information you can find.
