Narrowing down our list of stuff we want to do, while keeping enough buffer room in for spontaneity, is truly an art form.
Help us paint our picture.
Here’s our rough itinerary and short list:
- Depart MUC for CDG at 10:35 on Thursday, November 27 (we’ll train it down to the airport)
- Check into the Sully Saint-Germain (pictured at right) sometime the same day
- Marché des Enfants Rouges
- Museum Discount pass?
- Les Catacombes
- Les Dingues (scroll down to number 3 on that page)
- Centre Pompidou
- Old Marais Quarter walking tour
- and if we like that, maybe even a walking tour focused on the Resistance and Liberation the next day
- Musée National du Moyen Age/Thermes de Cluny (Musée de Cluny)
- Check out of the Sully Saint-Germain on Monday, December 1st
- Depart CDG for MUC at 18:20 on Monday, December 1st (train if possible back to Regensburg, otherwise maybe spur-of-the-moment AirportLiner
What have you done? What would you have done (differently)?
Teahan recommended the Pompidou, recently remodeled, if I remember his comment correctly. Take lots of pictures! Have a safe trip.

spectacular plan! i love that you’re doing the marais walking tour. the marais is the coolest place. may i also recommend:
macaroons from laduree. please eat a rasperry one for me. the colors are so beautiful. http://www.laduree.fr/public_en/produits/macarons_accueil.htm
hot chocolate at angelina. it’s a little on the fancy schmancy side, but their hot chocolate is so thick you can stand a straw in it. http://www.biteofthebest.com/angelinas-hot-chocolate/
i hope this comment isn’t too long. maybe i should have just emailed you. but we lived a block north of the place des vosges on a street called rue des minimes. our friends later told us the restaurant we lived above, le petit marche, was their favorite place http://www.blackbookmag.com/guides/details/le-petit-marche. we never went there though. we ate a lot of cheese in the park.
one of my favorite museums was the picasso museum, also in the marais. it’s a really cool collection.
oh, and while you’re in the marais, rue des rosiers has awesome falafel. i love that street! i love walking there when school gets out and you can see groups of adorable little boys in their yamukes.
i can’t wait to hear about your trip!
