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? not quite…)… and I do not qualify (as I understand it) for youth rail passes, etc. I am a teacher, and have an international ID card which says so, but am not sure what good that will do me. I would love to visit more of France but with limited resources, don’t want to ‘waste’ a trip not having information in advance. I’ve seen Normandy and Brittany several times and am ready to take in more of this beautiful country! Any help you all can give would be greatly appreciated!
Merci beaucoup en avance!
