American, 23, in Paris — seeks good conversation

If you’re a native English speaker looking for good conversation in Paris, I’d love to write or have coffee.

If you’re a French English-speaking person and you can 1) tolerate my English and 2) tolerate speaking it around me, I’d love to meet you, too. I barely know any French, but I am eager to learn and currently taking classes to learn this fine language. And around me, you’re instantly an expert on everything. That can’t be so bad. Write: billym004@aol.com (those are zeros, not ‘o’s. And forgive me for the Aol part).

Billy,

Formerly of America (also known as ‘Etat Unis’, but for us, it’s basically the ENTIRE Western Hemisphere. Mexico and Canada have failed to come to terms with the fact that they are our 51st and 52nd states. Sorry, Europe, you’re next!).

Honeymooning in France

Hello. I’m getting married on August 1st, then heading to France (Paris for starters) for my honeymoon. Does anyone have any advice for someone who would prefer not to drive, and would therefore take the train to get from place to place withing France. Wed like to check out Reims, Bordeaux, Beaune, Dijon, Lyon, Avignon, and perhaps more. The plan is to basically book a hotel for the first few nights in Paris then play it by ear.

Does anyone have any advice for us? Any areas of particular interest for honeymooners? Does anyone know of a good but inexpensive hotel in Paris that is romantic?

I appreciate any advice anyone may be willing to offer.

A month in France…what to do?? Paris suggestions?

Hello all… first let me say that I am new to the boards (curtsey)… so forgive any faux-pas please!

I am traveling to Paris next week for a study abroad program. I will be taking two classes which will occupy my time Mon-Weds during the day. This leaves evenings in Paris, and weekends free to visit, travel, etc. I am looking for suggestions for bars/clubs to visit in Paris, along with other sights I should not miss. Also, I’d like to see more of France on the weekends… herein lies the problem… I am now 26 (ancient?

Message from SalB

Hi. You folks are on your own for a few days. We’re going to Sacramento to visit our daughter.

I know this is crazy since we live in California. I’ve been to Paris and London but I’ve never been to Sacramento. I’ve even been to Pierre, SD and Bismarck, ND but I’ve never been to Sacramento . . . my very own state capitol.

Now, you are on your own so no name calling while I’m away.
