A long weekend in Paris

March 4, 2009 // Posted in Travels  


Il silenzio di questi giorni e’ dovuto al fatto che i Sacchibelli si sono concessi un lungo weekend, da venerdi’ a lunedi’ a Parigi, la ville lumiere…
Che dire, Parigi ci ha accolto con la sua eleganza, la magnificenza dei suoi monumenti, la sua classe e ci ha anche regalato 4 giorni senza pioggia (due addirittura col sole).
Certo in quattro giorni non si puo’ vedere tutto, cosi’ abbiamo dovuto rinunciare al Louvre, a Versailles, alla Defense. Ma quello che siamo riusciti a vedere ci ha davvero entusiasmato. Dall’inevitabile Tour Eiffel al Trocadero, dall’Hotel des Invalides a Montmartre, dai bellissimi parchi al Museo D’Orsay. E poi camminare tra i vicoli del Marais o immergersi nelle incantevoli Place Dauphine o Place des Vosges.
Insomma, un weekend stupendo e tutto sommato low cost, considerando che abbiamo volato RyanAir (da Orio al Serio a Paris Beauvais), che abbiamo alloggiato all’Hotel de la Loire, un alberghetto a Montparnasse senza troppe pretese ma pulito ed economico (e facilmente raggiungibile col Metro’), e che anche per il cibo ci siamo deliziati con i mitici prodotti di boulangerie e patisserie…..



The reason why we didn’t update our blog last weekend was because we spent a very nice long weekend in Paris, the “ville lumiere”.
Everything was amazing: Paris is a very elegant city, full of history, nice churches and wonderful buildings. Moreover we were very lucky because we never had rainy days and on Saturday and Monday we had a wonderful sun.
In few days you can’t visit everything, so we decide to skip the Louvre, for example, and Versaille. A good reason to come back soon. However we have seen a lot of nice things. The “obvious” tour Eiffel and the Trocadero; then we went to the “Hotel des Invalides” and we walked trough up to Montmartre; we also visited the exciting “Musee d’Orsay”. And then we spent time walking through the Marais, or through the beautiful squares, like “Place des Vosges” and “Place Dauphine”, inside the “Ile de la cite'”.
We can’t mention all the places we visited, but this long weekend was great. And cheap too. In fact we flew with Ryanair from “Orio al Serio” to Paris Beauvais, we reserved a cheap (and good enough) room at Hotel de la Loire in Montparnasse and, at least for lunch, we enjoyed the marvelous bread and “gateaux” of French boulangerie and patisserie.
