as for day trips out of paris. well that' s a personal choice. for 10 days in the city id recommend one trip, perhaps to versailles, but you will find that there is plenty to do in paris and you will have no trouble filling up ten days worth! !
no, the reason i chose ten days’ wonder for the claude chabrol blogathon is because it’s fun. fun to watch. fun to write about .
if i' m planning a trip of about ten days, i plan it to coincide with the monday - sunday navigo decouverte transit pass (but not if lower airfares more than offset the cost of filling it other days) .

ten days is a nice length visit. we left a lot to see next time, but we did everything that we
needed
to on this trip at a relaxed pace .
we spent ten days in paris in may - june, and did most of the things that are on your list. i wrote a long trip report which, if you' d like, you can find by clicking on my name and looking at my forum posts .
i would prefer to spend less time in paris and more in some of the little towns. while in paris i would have liked a group tour of versailles .
my gf and i are going to paris in mid may. we are going for 10 days. i' ve never been so i am very excited !

ten days in paris is a comedy spy thriller with an excellent pedigree. to begin with, it stars rex harrison with support work from leo genn, john abbott, andre morell, and the beautiful kaaren verne, and it is directed by tim whelan (q planes, aka clouds over europe) .
ten days in paris is a dessert wine, not a fine vintage, but a pleasant brut, bubbly, witty, and ideal for a pleasant diversion. it doesn’t rank with hitchcock’s the lady vanishes or carol reed’s night train to munich, but it has its own charms and displays them with elan .
a tourist in paris turns out to be a doppelganger of a german spy operating in the french capital .
we stayed in a paris hotel room for two nights, traveled for 10 days, and then returned to paris for 10 days in an apartment. i definitely recommend an apartment for a stay of several days or more. apartments are larger than the tiny parisian hotel rooms, and the kitchen facilities will allow you to enjoy the wonderful food markets - - you can buy a roast chicken for dinner, or just have cheese and wine on hand for snacks .
his leading lady is the german born kaaren verne in her movie debut. she would flee the the us after this film, where she would later marry peter lorre? !! mr. lorre getting a lovely girl like that! more respect to him! verne was alright here and had the blond look studios were always after. she does help make this light spy drama an enjoyable one. ten days in paris (1940), aka missing ten days, might not take full advantage of it' s script, but it' s entertaining in it' s light - headed mood .
with 10 days in paris, then taking 2 or 3 day trips that only leaves you 6 - 7 days in paris. if you have never been there than you will have plenty to do. but only you know what your main interests are. you could arrive, stay a night then take the fast train to another area for 2 - 3 days, then return and finish all your time in paris. but you certainly could stay in paris and take day trips to reims, versailles, giverny, etc. whatever you decide please spend at least a full week in paris. i could stay there a month and be happy! our first time there was our 20th anniversary in mid may. we loved having picnics near the eiffel tower, taking naps in the tulleries after visiting the louvre, strolling around with no destination in mind. you will love paris in may !

the other idea on the table is to stay in paris but to do day trips to champagne, versailles (which we would probably do anyway) and just stay in paris the whole time .

you will have a great time. i personally do not think 10 days is too much in paris. i have been just twice, the first time for a week and then in oct / nov 2010 for 2 weeks. i still want to go back and spend more time. we plan to go in sept 2013 and spend at least 1 - 2 weeks in paris .

why ten days’ wonder? i certainly wouldn’t call it one of chabrol’s masterpieces. that’s a description i’d reserve for les bonnes femmes, le boucher, ã double tour, la rupture, the cry of the owl, story of women, la cérémonie, or any one of a half dozen others .
gumercindo, this will be my first trip to paris and we booked a hotel .
this was my first trip to europe and i got a wonderful variety of what france has to offer. we spent 2 days in paris before the tour began so had learned how to navigate our way around a bit. with the additional tours in paris we saw much of what we had on our original list. the tours outside of paris were great, with some history and some culture. overall, a trip to be remembered .
the attacks are suspected to have been masterminded by abdelhamid abaaoud, a belgian national killed in a police raid in saint - denis, northern paris, a few days later. another key figure - salah abdeslam - was arrested on 18 march after going on the run .

we’re staying in paris for 10 days (nine full days plus our arrival day) in late march – early april. does anyone think a day trip to brussels is worth it? i did a forum search on this topic but most of the posts were several years old. i don’t know if we would do this anyway, but if it’s not really worth it, we can strike it from our “maybe” list. even if we wanted to go, is our timing too tight (less than 50 days away) to purchase reasonably priced train tickets ?
the tour was excellent! this was my first visit to france, and this particular tour was chosen because it combined several days in paris with the opportunity to experience other parts of the country. i came away with a good good understanding of french culture .
we spent 11 days in paris based in the 6th just this past april. i kept a day - to - day journal which includes a trip to giverny and various museums, and many places to eat. if you have trouble sleeping you can read through it starting here ...

paris is a major transportation hub, making additional travel before or after your tour quite easy .
abaaoud, 28, is described as the suspected ringleader in the paris attacks. he died in a long gun battle with police, who raided a flat in saint - denis on 18 november .
which brings me to another reason why i love this crazy film. i have always been fascinated by the role of myth and archetype in filmmaking. in ten days’ wonder, chabrol and his co - scenarist eugene archer (an american auteurist who had been a mentor to andrew sarris and peter bogdanovich) took a typical ellery queen detective novel and intentionally overlaid its story with as much mythic and archetypal resonance as possible .
this is a very active tour! most days are moderate to strenuously paced with 2–8 miles of walking, including hilly terrain and lots of stairs .

i enjoyed all sites visited on our tour. while the museums and architecture in paris was fantastic, we did find paris a bit frenetic (recognizing tourist season) and, overall, enjoyed the locations away from paris a bit more. beautiful countryside, chateaus, museums, and historical sites. loved them! re paris, i was prepared for and wired to immerse myself in the culture, yet felt the level of multi - ethnicity brought people who seemed unconcerned with respecting / understanding each other .

the tour of paris and france was a great look into the culture, the people and life in france. we got to experience big city life in paris, including the food, transportation (metra and buses), great museums and of course the eiffel tower. the tour through the countryside and small villages was a vary interesting and a sharp contrast to paris. normandy... very moving .
prince of verona banishes romeo from verona. unaware of the wedding capulet arranges for juliet to marry paris on thursday
great tour guide (julie) who was helpful whenever needed, and who provided very informative and useful narratives about history and current events. by design, tour was mostly about palaces and normandy beaches outside paris; the tour only skims paris. so if you want the focus to be paris, this is not the right tour .

ten days’ wonder is a film that deliberately reminds the viewer of the past screen performances of its stars: welles, with his putty nose, as a power - obsessed patriarch like the characters he played in citizen kane, mr. arkadin, and the immortal story; perkins as a tortured son like the characters he played in desire under the elms, fear strikes out, psycho, and the trial. chabrol wants his audience to see welles as the archetypal father, perkins as the archetypal son .

being a bit of a playboy, neither his father or the french police believe his story that the last ten days are a total blank, especially because there is a note in his pocket obviously from a woman signed d. as soon as he is out of the hospital he finds himself approached by andre (john abbot) who seems to know him and who orders him to return to madame d. she turns out to be the beautiful kaaren verne, and her chauffer / butler barnes .

i marked the tour as very good, but it really should be between an outstanding and a very good. this tour was a wonderful introduction to northern france, hitting all the high points. we arrived in paris essentially 3 days before the tour began and still didn' t see everything we wanted to see. paris was fantastic. the french people were all very friendly, not one negative experience. sometimes the tour felt a little rushed, probably a function of there being so much to see and do .

tour highlights: mont st michel in the evening after most people had left, the american cemetery at normandy, the remains of the mulberry at arromaches. seeing the bayeux tapestry which i studied in college 50 years ago was quite an experience. the lily pond at giverny put the monet paintings in perspective. all great. but the' wow' moment came during the 3 days we spent on our own in paris after the tour. i realized our easy use of the metro was due to michaelanne' s practical instructions .

since we are staying in an apartment, for consecutive days, staying the night in normandy won' t be an option. i am aware it would be a long day, but the guidebooks made it sound possible. hoping we can make it work, it is my husband' s biggest request: )

we then dove right in to the museums, cafes, and hussle - bustle of paris. there were many things worth remembering about this trip, but i tried to condense it into a list of highlights - places i loved, great food i tasted, the best things i did. hopefully the list can serve as a bit of inspiration if you find yourself in paris sometime soon .

excellent tour. our guide was excellent as were the local guides. the [ invalid ] ion of things to see was spot on for me despite my 76 years because i am still physically fit. however, for my wife, who is 64 and has a bad knee, some days were too much. this was also true for a number of others in our group. your description of the tour did warn of some strenuous days but you might consider the demographic that takes your tours .
how to capture a life? a problem of biographical projects, especially those involving subjects who left behind multiple books and interviews and hours of film footage, is that ten edits of the same story will yield ten different lives. this raises a further question with which every biographer must contend, even for lives much less complex and ecstatic and varied than susan sontag’s: how much space should be given over to the messy details of the private life—the love affairs, the children, the fraught relationships with family—how much to the public life, and beyond that, how much to the environment and the era by which that life was shaped ?
seeing the abbey at mont st. michel in the early morning was probably the

it would be too hard to choose only one but the top three were the d - day beaches, monet' s garden, and chateau de chenonceau. next in line would be paris .
which is why, i think, when the writers of friends referred to the demise of another tv show last week, it wasn' t a sitcom. one of the most enjoyable things about friends is the occasional ways that it comments upon itself as television. in the beginning, the frame of reference for the show was the sitcom universe. in the pilot alone, rachel watches the joanie and chachi wedding from happy days (
see, but joanie loved chachi! that' s the difference !
she says), and monica refers to joey and chandler as
lenny and squiggy .
ten years later, the point of comparison is a different one: bemoaning rachel' s imminent departure for paris, chandler says ,
it feels like when melrose place got cancelled .

if you haven' t already committed to flights, apartment, etc. , you could always head to normandy on arrival, spend a night or two there, return to paris and settle in your apartment .
but the reality is that the migrant crisis in paris has existed for some 18 months now. while numbers may have swelled a little this week, the situation is no worse than it has been for months .
there are dozens of appealing day trips, but you' d see mostly the destination town, and not much
