Anyone from Paris, France here???

[BenoA]

I'll be there on the 14th for 9 days. Going there with the wife! No kids! Yeah!

So how's the weather right now?

[Rsmacker]

Who cares? You will be inside for most of the time!

[BenoA]

C'mon... I'll walk outside a lil' bit...

Seriously, I want to plan our luggages and I'm wondering if it's warm or cold at that time of the year.

Try to avoid the thousands of beggers at the tourist sites. My wife and I went there as part of our trip through Europe last year and it was very depressing. Although it might be different now that Sarkoczy took over.

November is when the cold kicks in.... I'd say it's a about in 40-50F range in Paris this month

Make sure you make it to the Catacombes. The miile or so you're allowed into is well cool.... but the rest is amazing.

Is that near Biffin's Bridge? You get brown points for that too.

Taker her to a nice meal. Eat snails.

Want to hear something really funny.

My French sucks so when I was their last year and other people in France noticed I was American I got treated like crap. If they did not understand English they were like "Fuck off" I though what a bunch of A-holes. The anti-american sentiment is strong over there.

So I conducted a experiment and this is what I did...

I speak Croatian fluently so I started to pretend like I was a Easter Europe tourist and spoke English in a Heavy Borat accent with some Croatian words mixed in and the French were the nicest people. Even if they did not understand any English they put the effort into trying to understand me and not tell me to fuck off. They went out of their way to help me and make sure I got what I needed.

Look out for the gypsies. If someone comes up to you with a gold ring or something asking if its yours, run because your wallet will be gone in no time. They work as a team. Hide your money.

Dear God, you can't say things like that, I feel all faint after reading it. You would be sent on an Awareness Course if you were over here, and be put on a register or something. If your wallet goes missing after an encounter with earthy itinerant folk, harmlessly trying to practice their traditional way of life free from the constraints and prejudices of our modern world, it will be merely a coincidence. Yes, that's right, a coincidence.

(But leave your valuables under lock and key and if any of the pikey cunts come near you, especially packs of cute children, shoo them away with a boot up the arse)

Thanks for the replies guys, but it's kinda funny to see how this thread went overboard with only asking about the weather???

[Rsmacker]

Meh, whaddaya expect? It's Western Europe, late Autumn. The only things you can be sure about is that you need to leave your snowshoes and your safari suit at home. It'll be grey, miserable, and probably piss down with rain.

Anyway, you'll be thanking us for the tips once you encounter the scum on the ground. The days when Pierre Le Frog cycled round in a stripey jersey with strings of onions round his neck are long gone. Parissiennes are ignorant tossers IMHO, not like the average Frog (whom I quite like, when he's not setting fire to English lamb, or blockading ferry ports).

Go to Notre Dame and leap around slobbering "The bells, the bells, they made me deaf you know" - they will think it's hilarious, honest.

I won't pass on my Red Light District tips, because your Mrs might not enjoy it.....

I'd go to Bayonne or some place like that this time of the year
