Just got back, nice and hot.

People very arrogant, had similarities to London which i hate.

Did the usual.

Arch d'tromph
Eiffle Tower
The Louvre, had a Di Vinci exhibit too.

Not sure if theres a law but, either the french havent seen muscle before or i wasnt suppose to walk around with no t-shirt

Stayed there for a few days last year..... thought the locals were less arrogant than most other French people I've met. And you can forgive a lot with food like that.

One tip if you want to take a car, or any other vehicle for that matter, to anywhere in France nd get it back home without any 'body alterations' -

get yourself an Irish number plate

Due to the skurmishes in Iraq we are definately not popular over in France at the moment, nor are we popular over beef, lamb and anything else the French think they can do better than us

A mate of mine went to France last week, came home with a whole new paintscheme...Blue and battery acid

i have seen many vehices with acid burns, deep scratches and other such 'nice' additions done from their stay in France

other vehicles with irish plates are left alone, so spend a few bob and protect your pride and joy from those french with an artistic flair in battery acid

Driving in paris is a nightmare - it was just like pick a gap and go! although i dont see why people worry about the arc de triumph roundabout, its just like a big cobbled field. with cars on.

We didnt drive into paris looked murder.

The Metro system was pretty good.
Only had one near miss, some colour lad seemed to be shouting some thing or other.

He got the finger salute then waled off
