    I didn't have time to do the big wheel but just this general area is so beautiful and big. You can walk around and just enjoy life. Our restaurant was nearby so we got to see it in the day and all lit up at night. Visited on May 6, 2018.

    Beautiful! We came out of the metro nearby and stopped here before heading to through the Jardin des Tuileries to a nearby musee. If you are in the area I'd definitely add this stop in. Yes, it is in the middle of the road, but that's what crosswalks are for. I'm gearing up for the beautiful fountains in Rome and these were the perfect intro. Obviously not a stop you'd spend anymore than maybe 5-10 minutes at, take them in and keep moving.

    Hieroglyphics!

    Place de la Concorde is the largest square in Paris. It is a huge area. I only came to here to check out the Luxor Obelisk. I am sucker for Egyptian stuff. Cannot believe this was actually built in Egypt and gifted to France. Just amazing details and to see actual hieroglyphics up close is so cool. Did not care much for the plaza but the obelisk worth the stop by.

    Unfortunately the ferris wheel (Roue de Paris) is no longer there but it is worth seeing the obelisk. My son and I lucked out because it was a cloudy/sunny spring day in Paris which made it perfect for pics. The best part is the obelisk looks different at different times of the day (we were in Paris 14 days and drove through the Place de la Concorde many times) as well as in sunshine and clouds. The black/golden gilded gate which leads to the Place de la Concorde is incredible and you can get great long distance shots of the Eiffel Tower. It was tough to get alone shots of the fountain and you had to time it just right to get the water flowing. A must see in Paris!!

    I'm not sure if this is supposed to be Paris' central square, though considering that it happens to be a major intersection, with it being at one end of the Avenue de Champs d'Elysee, it does get quite a lot of cars travelling around it. It is quite large though, with once side having some amusements which the entrance to the Tullaries happen to be. There are a couple of large fountains in the middle, though when we were here there just happened to be lots and lots of cars navagating the route around it, and also spending an inordinate amount of time waiting for the lights to change. Well, you can spend some of that time looking at the fountains if you want.

    Every citiy needs a ferris wheel in the city center.

    This could one of the most busiest place in Paris. Why I said it. When my partner and I were there. We drove with the car here. Wow, this is really hard to find a place near this place. Full of cars, there are couple parking around. But quite easy to miss. It took us about almost 20 mins to find a place to park. And it was still quite a long way to the place. But when I got there, I did see the point why my partner want to show me this place so much. It is really beautiful. It surrounded by a lot cool and historical buildings. Jarden des T just close by. And great sport see Arc de Triomphe from a short distance. The fountain itself is definitely a plus point here. It also get some new modern artwork just stand in the middle. The farries wheel also located it here. All together just magical. It around got different event going on here, especially in the winter time. The street from here to the Arc de Triomphe will turn into a beautiful Christmas market. The atmosphere is super. Great place to hang out with friends and drink some mulled wine and enjoy the time.

    You are in Paris..... Just go and check it out. The fountain is beautiful, the Luxor Obelisk is over 1, 00 years old and it's worth the time to walk and admire these amazing structures....

    I was unimpressed with both the fountain and the obelisk (there are much better ones in Rome). Traffic is a nightmare and the fountain and obelisk are in the centre of a huge traffic circle. Despite numerous traffic signals, Parissiene drivers don't feel compelled to obey the lights...So be careful crossing the streets. Not a peaceful place at all....too noisy, too busy, too much traffic, too many people. Visit in the evening when traffic is less and the fountain and obelisk are lit. The significance of this square is that here, both Marie-Antoinette and King Loius XVI were guillotined, during the height of the French Revolution. The fountain is beautiful.....too bad it's in the middle of a traffic circle.

    Located underneath the Marché Saint-Germain, you will find Piscine Saint-Germain after walking down…read moresome Stairs on the south side of the Market. In the Entrance Hall you are greeted by an old certificate stating that this was the best swimming pool in all of Paris - in 1997. So while during all the time since then, Prince William had the chance to go from small boy, grow into a man, lose a lot of his hair, become a helicopter pilot, marry and father two children - I recon Piscine Saint-Germain hasn't changed that much in 18 years. Or to spell this out for those not getting it: Signs, plaques etc that say "we were great once" are always a worry - be it at a restaurant, hotel or a swimming-pool. 18 year old Glory is worth nothing today, what counts now is now. Someone should take these signs down and but one up that says "we wanna be the best pool in Paris again - in 2020". But this review is starting to sound more negative than I actually mean it. Piscine Saint-Germain is a decent small basement pool (one 25 Meter Basin). It was clean when I was there, the people working there were very friendly and despite being a pool without any natural light - it isn´t one bit dark or depressing in there. So they are getting the basics right. Negatives: While the Building and basin is in decent shape generally, the toilets are not up to standard and the shower area definitely has seen better days. There are not many individual changing cabins. I am not a big fan of the decor (nor the dolphin-paintings in the changing cabins), but it could be worse. Another thing that has struck me as odd was the disclaimer of liability in case of theft. Piscine Saint-Germain doesn´t have lockers, but a wardrobe check where you deposit your clothes with an employee. Now, how can my belongings be stolen while behind a counter, guarded by a member of the staff? I am not making accusations (again, the staff at Piscine Saint-Germain were very nice) - but if my belongings would be stolen while in personal care like that and those running the pool think that they are not responsible in such a case - I think I would prefer to just have a simple locker with a key.

    Decent pool for swimming laps. 3 Euros. Have to give your shoes and belongings to an attendant…read morewho safeguards it while you swim. I would suggest not bringing your valuables. Times inconvenient and there is usually a line waiting for people to get in. Pool closes fifteen minutes before the stated time, why, I have no idea. Please do not wear shoes into the locker room. You WILL be chased down and reprimanded in French. Showers mandatory. Men must wear the Speedo kind of suit, women can wear a two piece. Swim caps mandatory. There is a vending machine that sells swim suits and other necessities if you forget something. The French have no swim etiquette so be prepared. It's more of a cultural endeavor than a workout. It's still worth it if you want to swim some laps but just know it's a thoroughly French experience.

I made a reservation to go bowling on a Saturday night at BFS two weeks in advance without any problem. This was both wonderful, and disconcerting at the same time. I had already called three bowling places around Paris who told me they were "complet" on Saturday night. So why was BFS so available for my group of 20? I took a walk by on Saturday afternoon to check out the place and saw it overrun by screaming kids and their underwhelmed parents (note: don't go bowling on a Saturday afternoon). The place is a little tricky to find being that it's located in an alley between two big apartment buildings, and the inside was a bit lackluster-- no music, depressing lighting, minimal decor. At this point, however, there was no looking back. Saturday night, nine out of the 20 of us showed up together, and the staff took care of us immediately. They told me that we'd have 3 lanes instead of 4 as originally planned, but that we'd all be next to each other, fair enough. They were running a little behind schedule which was no problem for us since we were still waiting for the other half of the group. Naturally, we headed over to the bar to warm up. Pints and cocktails here are around 6€, not too bad for Paris standards, but not the bowling alley prices I'd expected. Snacks include tartines, sandwichs au jambon et fromage, kind of airport French food. Although clearly overwhelmed with the amount of people turning up, the staff at BFS was helpful, and above all nice, as they ushered us through the process of dividing up the group in to lanes and getting us all shoes. Next thing, we were on the lanes, rolling strikes left and right, spilling beer and having a classic good ol' time bowling. I was a bit disappointed by the lack of atmosphere. There were no disco lights and the music coming from the speakers was actually a radio station. This is not the kind of place where you want to bowl sober with three of your best friends. This is the kind of place you want to come to when you are a group of twenty and you could care less about everything else around you. The prices are awesome, after two and a half hours of bowling (2 rounds) plus shoes, I paid only 14€. Plus beer, you're looking at a Saturday night under 40€, when was the last time that happened to you in Paris? Oh, did I mention this place is open until 4:30am? Eat, drink, bowl and be merry.

    On my second trip to Paris, I took my mother along. She has fairly simple dining needs and isn't…read morethe most adventurous. So after touring the Eiffel Tower and a bit famished, I noticed chien chaude was on offer by the nearby carrousel. So interested in checking out the French version on the hot dog, we decided to try it. We were not disappointed! So when I brought the GF to Paris, I knew I had to blow her mind. Could a French-style hot dog compete with the U.S.? Across the street from the NW section of the Eiffel Tower, right by the bridge, you'll notice the carrousel. And to the right of this, is a crepe stand. You can't leave Paris without trying a crepe and the ones here were pretty good, especially considering they are for eating on the go! They'll stuff your crepe with cheese, ham, and even a fried egg! Chien Chaude Fromage [7.50 Euros = $9.13] But first, let's get back to that hot dog. The GF was actually surprised by how good it was. The cheesy, crusty baguette was fresh and housed the hot dogs well (read: plural). The dogs also had nice snap and a salty savoriness. The mix of mayo and ketchup definitely makes sense - adding some acidity and creaminess to each bite. Maxi Complete Jambon [9.50 Euros = $11.57] Crepe, ham, cheese, egg, fries I probably should have stopped there, but considering we had arrived late on our first night in Paris and were scheduled for a boat ride by the Seine River, I went all out. I ordered the largest version of their crepe. It's filled with ham, cheese, egg, and topped with fries - talk about a carbo-gut-bomb. If you go this route, do get extra napkins because you'll find a decent pool of grease at the bottom of your crepe. I'd opt for some ketchup and mayo as well. Regardless, this was an enjoyable mess of gluttony, though not exactly the most delicate of endeavors. So if you're by the Eiffel Tower and need a quick snack, stop by the carrousel and order up a hot dog or a simple crepe. But if you're really starving, try the maxi complete jambon crepe. It requires two hands to hold and be sure to get those napkins!

    This is such a cute little carrousel near the Eiffel Tower. There are a lot of carousels in Paris…read more This one's really nice. It's popular but not too busy. You feel like you're surrounded by tourists.
