The Eiffel Tower : La "Grande Dame" parisienne fut construite pour l'Exposition
Universelle de 1889, commémorative du centenaire de la Révolution.
La Tour est haute de quelque 350 mètres ! Entrée (ascenseur jusqu'au
2nd étage ) : 9 EUR pour les grands, 5,30 EUR pour les enfants de
moins de 12 ans. Heures d'ouverture : 1er jan-13 juin : 9h30-23h00
tous les jours. (pour les sportifs, l'accès escaliers est ouvert
de 9h30 à 18h00) ; 14 juin - 31 août : 9h00 à minuit tous les jours.
Notre Dame Cathedral : Les travaux de construction ont débuté
en l'an 1163, et se sont achevés 200 ans plus tard, autour de 1345.
La cathédrale peut accueillir plus de 6000 fidèles. L'entrée est bien
entendu gratuite, mais si vous voulez monter dans les tours, il faudra
débourser environ 6 euros. Les architectes n'avaient pas prévu d'ascenseur,
désolé, donc les cardiaques devraient s'abstenir de prendre le chemin
des cieux... Heures d'ouverture : 8h00-18h45 tous les jours. Visites
guidées : 9h30-18h45 tous les jours. Messes : 8h00, 9h00, midi, 18h45.
Les Champs-Elysées et l'Arc de Triomphe : Seule la section
des Champs Elysées allant de la Place de la Concorde au Grand Palais
lui méritent le titre de "plus belle avenue du monde". Le reste de
l'avenue est bordé de boutiques et de restaurants souvent trop chers.
Essayez les rues de côté. N'oubliez pas de visiter l'Arc de Triomphe,
au sommet de l'avenue, bâti au milieu du XVIIIème siècle pour commémorer
les victoires napoléoniennes. Coût d'entrée : environ 6 euros, gratuit
pour les enfants de moins de 12 ans. Heures d'ouverture : 9h30-23h00
tous les jours d'avril à octobre, et 10h00-23h00 tous les jours de
novembre à mars.
Montmartre
et la Basilique du Sacré Coeur : De style romano-byzantin, la
basilique couronne la colline de Montmartre. Débutée en 1875, sa construction
s'est achevée en 1914. L'entrée est gratuite, mais l'accès à la crypte
et au dôme est payants (environ 5 euros). Pour vous épargner un peu
de fatigue, vous pouvez prendre le funiculaire, drôle de petit tramway
à un wagon. A partir de la station de métro Anvers, commencez à remonter
la butte jusqu'à la rue Tardieu. La station du funiculaire se trouve
là. Jusqu'au XIXème siècle, Montmartre n'était qu'un village, situé
hors de l'enceinte des fortifications parisiennes. Le film Amélie
Poulain vous donne un aperçu de l'endroit, qu'il faut absolument visiter,
ne serait-ce que parce qu'il ne comporte pas moins de 7 musées !
Les
Invalides : L'hospice des Invalides commença d'être construit
en 1671 par ordre de Louis XIV, qui voulait y abriter les soldats
indigents et gravement blessés de ses multiples guerres. L'ouvrage
fut rapidement terminé, mais il lui fut adjoint ensuite une église.
Les travaux prirent en tout une trentaine d'années. Vous pourrez visiter
l'église, plusieurs musées et le tombeau de Napoléon 1er, dont le
corps fut rapatrié de Ste Hélène en 1830. L'entrée est de 6 euros,
mais gratuite pour les enfants de moins de 12 ans. Heures d'ouverture
: d'octobre au 31 mars, de 10h00-16h45, d'avril au 30 septembre de
10h00 à 17h45.
Saint
Germain des Pres / Quartier Latin : Du quart latin historique,
de la rue Germain et de la banque gauche, aux champions fascinants
Elysée et au Tour Eiffel sur la banque droite, du Louvre au
Musée Rodin, de l'église locale la plus modeste à
Notre Dame, tout est situé sur la marche ou la distance facile
de métro. Et en dépit de ce que vous avez pu avoir entendu
parler de la « attitude » que vous pourriez trouver à
Paris, repos assuré que pratiquement chaque hôtel a un
concierge amical pour vous aider à obtenir où vous voulez
aller - que ce soit Montparnasse et Sacre Coeur, fard à joues
de Moulin ou le café fou de cheval, ou pour un tour sur la
seine par l'intermédiaire du bateau Mouche.
Bienvenue à Paris
! Cette page a été tout spécialement préparée pour vous, qui venez
peut-être à Paris pour la première fois. Nous avons voulu vous donner
quelques conseils sympathiques pour bien préparer votre arrivée,
et quelques idées de balades intéressantes à faire durant votre
séjour dans la Ville de Lumière. Bonne lecture !
Bien préparer votre sortie
Une fois reposé
du stress du voyage et bien installé dans votre confortable chambre,
vous voici prêt à partir à l'aventure dans les rues de la capitale
! Mais avant de mettre le pied dehors, veillez à vous habiller
confortablement pour l'occasion.
Tout d'abord,
chaussez-vous bien. Apprêtez-vous à marcher longuement, car
vous vous arrêtez très souvent pour découvrir un tas de détails
intéressants. Vous savez comment une journée de shopping en magasin
peut vous ruiner les jambes... S'arrêter, repartir, s'arrêter de
nouveau... Bref, si vos pieds ne sont pas bien chaussés, préparez-vous
à souffrir.
Visiter la Tour
Eiffel veut par exemple dire 30 minutes d'attente de queue pour
acheter le ticket, encore plusieurs minutes d'attente pour l'ascenseur,
une petite heure de piétinement dans les étages de la Tour, et encore
plusieurs minutes pour redescendre.... Donc munissez-vous d'une
bonne paire de chaussures, et tant pis pour la mode si vous devez
sacrifier la beauté pour le confort !
Le temps à
Paris peut être capricieux : une belle matinée ensoleillée peut
rapidement se transformer en un ciel chargé accompagné d'un petit
vent gentiment froid. Pour nos amis canadiens habitués au temps
de Montréal, le climat de Paris semblera bien doux. Mais pour nos
visiteurs du sud de la France, il est bon de savoir qu'en dehors
de la période mai-septembre, Paris n'est pas chaud. Alors n'hésitez
pas à emporter une petite laine et un bon coupe-vent dans vos bagages.
Et en tout cas,
n'oubliez surtout pas votre parapluie, qui sera parfois votre
meilleur ami dans les rues, tout spécialement si vous voulez prendre
des photos de la ville... car pluie et appareils photo ne font pas
bon ménage.
Les bons tuyaux du petit parisien
Vous voici tout
prêt à sortir, bien équipé pour la circonstance. Quelques bons tuyaux
pour vous :
Evitez le taxi durant la journée, et tout
particulièrement le matin jusqu'à 11h00 et en fin d'après-midi,
de 4 à 8. Les rues sont bouchées, et prendre le taxi durant ces
heures, c'est être assuré de regarder le compteur tourner sans
pouvoir rien faire. Prenez le métro, c'est plus simple, moins
coûteux et très rapide. Voici un plan du métro parisien (cliquez sur
l'image).
Le prix des courses en taxi : le taximètre
(le compteur) affiche le prix de la course et l'une des trois
lettres suivantes : A, B ou C. Si vous êtes dans Paris intra-muros
ou sur le Boulevard Périphérique, le tarif A s'applique durant
la journée de 6h00 à 20h00, et le tarif B durant la nuit jusqu'à
6h00 du matin. Lorsque vous quittez Paris intra-muros, le chauffeur
passera en tarif B durant la journée, puis en tarif C à partir
de 20h00. SI vous êtes loin de Paris, le tarif C s'applique à
toute heure. Vous paierez un supplément pour tout bagage chargé
dans le coffre de la voiture, et si vous prenez le taxi à partir
d'un aéroport. N'essayez pas d'attraper un taxi dans la rue si
vous êtes à moins de 100 mètres d'une gare : les taxis ne
peuvent pas charger de passagers à proximité d'une gare, ils doivent
obligatoirement aller à la tête de station de la gare elle-même.
Donc éloignez-vous de la gare, ou allez à la station de taxi de
la gare.
Les Paris
commencent à se remplir vers 12h15 et restent remplis jusqu'à
13h30. Le soir, ils se remplissent à partir de 19h30 et ne désemplissent
généralement pas avant 22h00. Si vous ne voulez pas attendre pour
manger, dînez tôt, de 18h00 à 19h00. Attention : les restaurants
servent rarement entre 14h00 et 18h00.
Prendre un pot à la terrasse d'un café et
regarder les passants parisiens et étrangers : quelle occupation
plaisante ! Mais sachez que votre consommation vous sera généralement
facturée plus cher qu'à l'intérieur du café.
Les garçons de café parisiens sont impatients.
Ils ne sont pas impolis, juste pressés. Ne le prenez pas mal s'ils
vous tournent le dos lorsque vous prenez un peu trop de temps
à commander : ils veulent servir rapidement d'autres clients.
Ils reviendront de toute façon à votre table.
Dans les ParisParis
les serveurs ne reviennent pas nécessairement vers vous s'enquérir
de la qualité de votre repas lorsque vous avez été servi. Ne vous
sentez pas ignorés pour autant. Ils veulent juste éviter de vous
déranger dans votre dégustation.
Le pourboire : votre addition est "service
compris", c'est à dire que vous n'avez pas besoin de laisser un
pourboire. Si vous voulez faire plaisir au serveur, laissez-lui
1 euro au café, et quelques euros au restaurant. Mais vous n'y
êtes pas tenu. Pour nos amis canadiens, sachez que votre facturette
de carte de crédit (celle que vous signez) ne comportera pas de
ligne "Gratuity".
Vous voici
armés de ces quelques conseils, vous êtes fin prêts à conquérir
le bitume. Passons maintenant aux lieux à visiter absolument
!
"Les amants de
Paris couchent sur ma chanson.
A Paris, les amants s'aiment à leur façon.
Les refrains que je leur dis,
C'est plus beau que les beaux jours.
Ça fait des tas d'printemps et l'printemps fait l'amour..."
