<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 122652, member: 23"]We have been taking high school basketball teams to Europe for over 30 years and I can give you a hint about teenagers - they don't always appreciate what an adult does. When we were in Paris last May we only had two days. It's not nearly enough to see everything, but you can touch on the major items. Montmartre, Notre Dame, La Tour Eiffel, Pont Neuf. We managed to see quite a lot. If the weather permits, the boat ride down the Seine is a great way to see a lot and save walking. Beware of the scam artists around every site. The latest one are men who come up with multicolor strings and start to weave a bracelet around your wrist. It ends up costing about $7. Maybe your granddaughter would like it, but once you succumb to one, they don't leave you alone. If you don't make eye contact, they'll go away. We didn't go into the Louvre because it takes about an hour wait and then it's so huge, it's impossible unless you have a lot of time. Just visiting the plaza is an experience. You MUST go to the Eiffel Tower at dusk. I don't know if you've heard about the light show. It's amazing and worth the trip. Make sure you get into the front row of the plateau on the upper viewing level and don't let anyone push you out of the way. Then go down and ride the carousel underneath.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
