Welcome to the second of a two-part series of notes written during a weekend trip to Paris. In this edition, I wait patiently for the peleton, visit my favourite Parisian park, meet more Aussies and nearly get struck by lightning.
If you haven’t read part one, don’t you think it’s a more logical starting point? Idiot!
I’ve just spent the weekend in a blistering hot and beautiful Paris. The is part one of a two-part series of notes I wrote during the trip. In this edition, I climb two levels of the Eiffel Tower, get cast into darkness on the metro, get serenaded by George Michael, go cycling and meet lots [...]

If you’re looking for a good value, modern and convenietly placed hotel in the centre of Paris (and why wouldn’t you), look no further than the Novotel Paris Gare Montparnasse. This review of Novotel Paris Gare Montparnasse was posted to TripAdvisor ages ago, but I thought I should add it here too for your convenience.

If you’ve been brave enough (and bored enough) to have read the last three parts of my Paris trip write-up, crack open a bottle of Vittel and smear some smelly cheese on a cracker, because you’ve almost made it. This is the forth and final part of my Paris trip write-up, where I visit the [...]
In the previous part of this series of write-ups on my trip to Paris, I visited Tour Montparnasse to find out how difficult seeing famous monuments such as Tour Eiffel can be through early morning haze, and went on to the marvellous Notre-Dame. In this, the third part, I get blasted by a vent at [...]
In this second write-up on my trip to France’s wonderful capital city, I’m going to cover a few more of the major attractions that I visited in my short time there. If you’ve yet to read part one, you probably should. It sets the scene.
Visiting Tour Eiffel was the very first thing I did when [...]
Here’s another clip from my recent short trip to Paris.

Here’s a video from my recent trip to Paris. There’s a few more sitting on my mac waiting to be edited so expect those shortly. This one was taken from on top of Arc de Triomphe.
As you’ll see, it’s predominently of the traffic chaos below. It’s an interesting fact that if a crash were to [...]
