i studied abroad in paris, so i didn't get to spend a whole lot of time exploring the rest of france :(. plus, this was about 6 years ago (time flies!) but here is what i can remember off the top of my head:
ReplyDelete-if you like museums, the picasso museum in paris is worth going to
-montmartre is one of my favorite places in paris. go at sunset and bring some bread and cheese to eat at the top the stairs. beautiful!
-in my experience (in paris), crepe stands are far superior (and cheaper) than the food you'll get at the cafe's. honestly, unless you plan to eat at really nice restaurants, your best bet is to eat at the walk up stands (like the crepe stands) or get food at markets/bakeries for picnics (there are tons of beautiful parks to eat at)
-i personally enjoyed the south of france way more than the north. there seems to be more sunshine and the people just seem to be more laid back and helpful.
-a helpful french phrase for ordering is "je voudrais..." (juh voo-dray with a rolled r).. meaning "i would like....". as in "bonjour! je voudrais un croissant s'il vous plait". i tried to use a lot of french but in paris at least, the locals knew i was american right off the bat and switched right to english. some people appreciated the effort though.... especially outside of paris, where english isn't as common!
-the metro in paris is probably the best public transportation i've ever used. VERY reliable, though it is closed from 1am-5am. a lot of people stay out at the bars/clubs until the metro re-opens in the morning.
-anyways i'm rambling on.... but i remember on my way to school each day, there was a mc donalds with a walk-through, and you could order beer. be on the look-out :)
hope at least some of that is helpful... safe travels!

Loving your blog! I just moved back to LA (grew up here) from Hawaii (the big island)....so I can relate to some of your adventures :). I can't wait to hear how things work out for you, Kylie! It is tough to get started in LA but hang in there. And Megan, have you been to France before? The basque region is amazing! And of course, Lisa, I'm totally jealous. I miss riding my scooter down the coast line and eating all the yummy foods offered at the farmers market in Hawaii!! I miss it! Best wishes to you all!
