Paris Day 1

Paris Day 1
130210
This is the first time
  • I travelled on a F&E trip to Paris (though it is my 3rd time to Paris)
  • I took a public transport at the CDG airport to central Paris
  • I experienced snow in Paris (it is -4 degree!)
  • I had to drag a 20kg luggage along the streets in Opera till my arm became numb due to the weight of the luggage and the cold wind (Phew...luckily we managed to find the hotel in less than half an hour)

Timetable of the Roissy bus which we took from CDG airport to central paris.
It is kinda convenient to take the Roissy bus if you stay near to Opera. It cost only 9.10 euro per person (1 way)


We took some pictures while waiting for the Roissy bus to arrive






Though we reached the hotel at about 12 noon, we decided to just roam around the Opera area (which is within the vicinity of our hotel) for the day as all of us are kinda tired. If we had known that we had to shorten our trip, we would brave through all tireness and sight-seeing till we drop!

Taken outside our hotel - Hotel Louvre Marsollier Opera. The hotel manager offered to take the picture for us.

My head looked so small with the ear cover. =(

The nearest metro station is Quatre Septembre.
The metro stations are actually pretty close to each other. We just need to walk for about 5 minutes and we will reach the next metro station which is Opera

Taken at the billboard beside Quatre Septembre

The Hotel Manager told us that St Valentine's Day is very special day in Paris and true enough, the Galeries Lafayette was packed with people who seemed to be buying some last min pressies for their love ones.
