Which is the best way to get from Paris to London?
My husband and me are travelling to Paris in November and we want to go to London for 3 or 4 days. We can’t decide on train-ferry-train, air or eurostar. We’re on a budget but we’re thinking time matters too. Please help us.
Working in Paris?
When in Paris, I asked myself, "Could I live here?" I met a few people who said certain cafes in the city hire native-English speakers and Americans, without work permits.
As someone without a university degree, or any legitimate means of getting a job or work permit, the only feasible way to "live" in Paris is to work "off the books".
Is this possible and does anyone have any advice?

Lance Armstrong Currently Fourth in Tour de France
The Tour de France is in the midst of its second longest stage and enters
the French countryside from Belgium with five-time champion Lance Armstrong
in fourth place.
The
riders are traveling from Waterloo to Wasquehal in northeastern France.
This stage covers 210 kilometers over mostly flat ground. When the stage
began, Thor Husvold of Norway was wearing the leader’s yellow jersey eight
seconds ahead of former overall leader Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland.
to all the nice people from France
especially the helpful infomation from salb and donerail. You all are a very interesting group.
I found a wonderful penpal (just a penpal) from france and my French has improved greatly. I plan to visit paris in September and very much looking forward to my visit in your country.
But, a frenchman responded to my best girlfriend’s ad on a USA single’s wedsite in January 2004 until now with promises of visiting, marriage, etc. Ask for monies for a flight to visit her in the USA and never arrived. Finally, she allowed me to view some of the e-mails, photos, phone number, etc. that he used for correspondence.

France and Germany oppose death penalty for Saddam
Interesting arcticle….I doubt that the Iraqi people are going to listen to Europe about this one:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=518&e=6&u=/ap/20040701/ap_on_re_eu/europe_saddam_death_penalty
PARIS – Baghdad’s decision to re-establish the death penalty ahead of the war crimes trial of Saddam Hussein evoked a mixed reaction in Europe, recalling the split across the continent over the war that toppled the Iraqi leader.
Germany and France, two of the most vocal anti-war opponents, strongly stated their opposition without exception to the death penalty and called on Iraqi authorities to ensure Saddam a fair trial.
Formule 1 Hotels in Paris
My husband and I are considering staying in the Formule 1 hotels in the suburbs of Paris when we visit there to help cut costs. I was wondering if anyone knows which ones are in good locations, with easy access to public transportation into the city. It would be great if you could let me know!
Thanks,

room accommodation
hello, i need an advise on where i could get a room (not a hotel) for a two week vacation tour for me and my wife, preferably near Versailles. I want to know also the price for the accommodation.
P.S. Any family residence who can extend a room accommodation will be much appreciated. We will pay for the room stay.
Many thanks.
