Last but not least...looking for new hardware? The rue montgallet is where you want to go!
http://www.rue-montgallet.com + http://www.ratp.info/touristes/index.php?langue=en
Any hardware that you can't find here simply doesn't exist. I'm preferring the "Galaxy Computer" on the left side of the street (when you walk out of the metro station)
Going out in Versailles
There are many possibilities but only 4 really good ones.
Pool Hall - aka Montbauron
http://billard-montbauron.com/
"THE" bar - you'll meet people from the office whenever you show up. The prices are located in between the Kilt and the Piroque, quite affordable for everyone and you have many Billiard tables aswell. The 2l pincher of beer (Fischer for example) costs around 14 Euros while a billiard table is about 8 Euros per hour (no matter how many players). The people there speak a bit of English and one of them is speaking German aswell - not very good but she learnt it from us, so her vocabulary is mostly about boobs and harassment. :P
Le Kilt
http://maps.google.de/maps?f=d&saddr=48 ... F8&z=%2017
A rather strange kind of bar, the owner is his best customer. It's possible that he'll charge a little more or less than you should actually
pay - don't try to argue, just accept it. He'll give you so many beers for free if you stay some hours that it really doesn't matter if you pay 2 Euros more or less.
Another VERY good thing is, that the owner has amazing English skills - and he's selling cigarettes, quite unusual and may be a lifesaver if you forgot to pick up some cigs at the "Tabac" during the day. There are poker tournaments from time to time aswell - both organized by theowner and people from work.
O'Paris
http://www.puboparis.com/
To be honest - been there once and it was quite cool. They describe it was "Irish pub" and it's exactly like that. The prices are quite ok, a
little more expensive than the Montbauron. It's possible to sit under the trees and that's probably THE plus point - none of the other Bars
has that.
Pirogue
http://www.lapirogueversailles.com/
Some kind of cocktail bar, quite expensive and VERY, VERY good (Totem > all!). Be prepared to spend at least 7 Euros per drink - and they mix whatever you want, as long as you pay for it. :)
Ok...as we're talking about expensive things - let's move on to Paris! :)
The sights of Paris!
First stop - the quiet and nice zone...
Montmartre
http://www.googobits.com/articles/1844- ... artre.html
Where the movie “Amelie” was shot because of how typically French the neighborhood is… Check the link above, it’s pretty detailed about the artsy feeling of the place.
Info on Monuments
Basilique du Sacré Coeur
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacr%C3%A9_Coeur
At the culminant point of Montmartre, from here you’ll get one of the best views of Paris.
After the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, it was proposed to construct a church to the Sacred Heart on the butte Montmartre. Although originally the fund raising was by public subscription, in 1873, the National Assembly declared its construction to be a state undertaking. Of the 78 entries in the competition for its design, the one chosen was by the architect named Abadie. He was already well known for his restoration of the St-Front Cathedral in Périgueux.
The plans for the new basilica called for an edifice of Romano-Byzantine style, and the first stone was laid in 1875. Abadie himself died in 1884 with only the foundation having been completed.
Completed in 1914, it was not consecrated until 1919 after World War I had ended. The final cost was 40 million francs. Since 1885, there has been perpetual adoration and worship within.
The interior of the church contains one of the worlds largest mosaics, and depicts Christ with outstretched arms. The nearby bell tower contains the ``Savoyarde''. Cast in Annecy in 1895, it is one of the worlds heaviest at 19 tons.
Dinner at La Mere Catherine
This beautiful restaurant has continued to attract tourists through centuries. It first began in the year 1793. People fond of ancient music are also lured to this place. To add to this the old, ancient ambience and the aroma of traditional French cuisine whets ones appetite. It is this kind of experience that has drawn people over and over again to feast on the authentic French cuisine served here.
Trocadero
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trocad%C3%A9ro
The Trocadéro, site of the Palais de Chaillot, is an area of Paris, in the 16th arrondissement, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. The hill of the Trocadéro is the hill of Chaillot, a former village.
Origin of the name
In the Battle of Trocadero, the fortified position on the Bay of Cádiz in the south of Spain, was captured on August 31, 1823, by French forces led by the Duc d'Angoulême, son of the future king Charles X. The goal was to intervene against the liberal Spanish who were rebelling against the autocracy of Ferdinand VII. Trocadero restored the autocratic Spanish Bourbon Ferdinand to the throne of Spain, in an action that defined the Restauration. The name trocadero comes from the term referring to an emporium or place of trade.
The event was considered worthy of commemoration in Paris: the name place du Trocadéro was given in 1877 (though the name had been associated with the area since 1823) to a square formerly known as the place du Roi de Rome (i.e., Place of the King of Rome), the renaming being an example of discarding a reference to a defeated regime. Today that square is officially named place du Trocadéro et du 11 Novembre, though it is usually simply called the place du Trocadéro.
The stylish connotations of the Place du Trocadéro, inspired first the Trocadero Restaurant in London, and then multitudes of nightclubs and cinemas named "Trocadero (disambiguation)".
The hill of Chaillot was first arranged for the 1867 World's Fair.
For the 1878 World's Fair, the (old) Palais du Trocadéro was built here (where meetings of international organizations could be held during the fair). The palace's form was that of a large concert hall with two wings and two towers; its style was a mixture of exotic and historical references, generally called "Moorish" but with some Byzantine elements. The architect was Gabriel Davioud. The concert hall contained a large organ built by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, the first large organ to be installed in a concert hall in France. It was removed to a hall in Lyon and subsequently destroyed by fire. The building proved unpopular, though the cost expended in its construction delayed its replacement for nearly fifty years.
Below the building, in the space left by former underground quarries, a large aquarium was built to contain fishes of French rivers. It was renovated in 1937 but closed again for renovation in 1985. The space between the palais and the Seine is set with gardens, designed by Jean-Charles Alphand, and an array of fountains.
The new Palais de Chaillot
For the Exposition Internationale of 1937, the old Palais du Trocadéro was demolished and replaced by the Palais de Chaillot which now tops the hill. It was designed in classicizing "moderne" style by architects Louis-Hippolyte Boileau, Jacques Carlu and Léon Azema. Like the old palais, the palais de Chaillot features two wings shaped to form a wide arc: indeed, these wings were built on the foundations of those of the former building. However, unlike the old palais, the wings are independent buildings and there is no central element to connect them: instead, a wide esplanade leaves an open view from the place du Trocadéro to the Eiffel Tower and beyond.
The buildings are decorated with quotations by Paul Valéry, and they now house a number of museums:
• the Musée national de la Marine (naval museum) and the Musée de l'Homme (ethnology) in the southern (Passy) wing,
• the Musée national des Monuments français in the eastern (Paris) wing, from which one also enters the Théâtre national de Chaillot, a theater below the esplanade.
It was on the front terrace of the palace that Adolf Hitler was pictured during his short tour of the vanquished city in 1940, with the Eiffel Tower in the background. This became an iconic image of the Second World War.
It is in the Palais de Chaillot that the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10, 1948. This event is now commemorated by a stone, and the esplanade is known as the esplanade des droits de l'homme ("esplanade of human rights").
Tour Eiffel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tour_Eiffel
It opens at 9 :00am and we’ll try to make it to visit, but the queue can get ridiculously long like the Disney most popular attraction. It would not be worth wasting a couple of hours just to get on the Eiffel tour; we will at least enjoy a little walk.
The most famous monument in the world (317 metres, 10,100 tonnes), the Eiffel Tower was built for the International Exhibition of Paris of 1889 commemorating the centenary of the French Revolution. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII of England, opened the tower. Of the 700 proposals submitted in a design competition, Gustave Eiffel's was unanimously chosen.
However it was not accepted by all at first, and a petition of 300 names - including those of Maupassant, Emile Zola, Charles Garnier (architect of the Opéra Garnier), and Dumas the Younger - protested its construction.
At 300 metres (320.75m including antenna), and 7000 tons, it was the world's tallest building until 1930. Other statistics include:
- 2.5 million rivets.
- 300 steel workers, and 2 years (1887-1889) to construct it.
- Sway of at most 12 cm in high winds.
- Height varies up to 15 cm depending on temperature.
- 15,000 iron pieces (excluding rivets).
- 40 tons of paint.
- 1652 steps to the top.
However, if its birth was difficult, it is now completely accepted and must be listed as one of the symbols of Paris itself.
Les Invalides
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invalides
Les Invalides in Paris, France consists of a complex of buildings in the 7th arrondissement containing museums and monuments, all relating to the military history of France, as well as a hospital and a retirement home for war veterans, the building's original purpose. It is also the burial site for some of France's war heroes.
Musée d’Orsay
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musee_D%27Orsay
A superb example of a successful reconversion, the musée d'Orsay was redeveloped in the old Gare d'Orsay, built by Victor Laloux and
inaugurated in 1900 for the Universal Exhibition. After having received the first electric trains, the station was closed in 1939, the victim of progress. It was registered as a listed building in 1978. The museum was opened in December 1986 and was dedicated to all artistic production from 1848 to 1914. Paintings, pastels, sculptures, furniture and objets d'art, photography and documentary objects reflect the richness and diversity of this era.
Notre Dame
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre_Dame_de_Paris
Proceeded by a Gallo-Roman temple to Jupiter, a Christian basilica, and a Romanesque church, construction of Notre-Dame de Paris began in 1163 during the reign of Louis VII. Pope Alexander III laid the foundation stone. The idea to replace the Romanesque church occupying the site - the Cathedral of St. Etienne (founded by Childebert in 528) - was that of Bishop Maurice de Sully (who died in 1196). (Some accounts claim that there were two churches existing on the site, one to the Virgin Mary, the other to St. Stephen.) Construction was completed roughly 200 years later in about 1345.
The choir was completed in 1182; the nave in 1208, and the west front and towers circa 1225-1250. A series of chapels were added to the nave during the period 1235-50, and during 1296-1330 to the apse (Pierre de Chelles and Jean Ravy). The transept crossings were build in 1250-67 by Jean de Chelles and Pierre de Montreuil (also the architect of the Sainte-Chapelle). It was essentially completed according to the original plans.
The reigns of Louis XIV (end of the 17th century) and Louis XV saw significant alterations including the destruction of tombs, and stained glass. At the end of the 18th century, during the Revolution, many of the treasures of the cathedral were either destroyed or plundered. Only the great bells avoided being melted down, and the Cathedral was dedicated first to the cult of Reason, and to the cult of the Supreme being.
The church interior was used as a warehouse for the storage of forage and food.
After falling into disrepair, a restoration program overseen by Lassus (died 1857) and Viollet-le-Duc, was carried out in 1845. This program lasted 23 years, and included the construction of the spire (see image) and the sacristy.
During the Commune of 1871, the Cathedral was nearly burned by the Communards - and some accounts suggest that indeed a huge mound of chairs was set on fire in its interior. Whatever happened, the Notre Dame survived the Commune essentially unscathed.
Now in 1991, a 10 year program of general maintenance and restoration has begun, and sections of the structure are likely to be shrouded in scaffolds for the foreseeable future.
During its history, Notre Dame has been the site of numerous official and other ceremonial occasions. These include:
- 1239; The Crown of Thorns placed in the Cathedral by St. Louis during the construction of Sainte-Chapelle.
- 1302; Philip the Fair opens the first States General here.
- 1430; Henri VI of England is crowned here.
- Mary Stuart becomes Queen of France after her marriage to François II, and is crowned here.
- 1572; Marguerite of Valoi is married to the Huguenot Henri of Navarre here.
- 2 December 1804; After the anointing by Pius VII, Napoléon seizes the crown from the pontiff and crowns first himself, then Josephine.
- 26 August 1944; The Te Deum Mass celebrates the liberation of Paris. (According to some accounts the Mass was interrupted by snipping from both the internal and external galleries.)
- 12 November 1970; The Requiem Mass of General de Gaulle is held here.
- 31 May 1980; After the Magnificat of this day, Pope John Paul II celebrates Mass on the parvis in front of the Cathedral.
The Hôtel de Ville (French for "City Hall") in Paris, France, is the building housing the City of Paris's administration. Standing on the
place de l'Hôtel de Ville (formerly the place de Grève) in the city's IVe arrondissement, it has been the location of the municipality of Paris since 1357. It serves multiple functions, housing the local administration, the Mayor of Paris (since 1977), and also being a venue for large receptions.
La Conciergerie
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conciergerie
The Conciergerie (French: La Conciergerie) is a former prison in Paris, located on the west of the Île de la Cité, near the Cathedral of Notre-Dame. It is part of the larger complex known as the Palais de Justice, which is still used for judicial purposes. Hundreds of prisoners during the French Revolution were executed on the guillotines at La Conciergerie.
Le Louvre
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Louvre
Musée du Louvre
The Louvre Museum (French: Musée du Louvre) in Paris, France, is the most visited and one of the oldest, largest, and most famous art galleries and museums in the world. The Louvre has a long history of artistic and historic conservation, inaugurated in the Capetian dynasty until today. The building was previously a royal palace and is famous for holding several of the world's most beautiful works of art, such as Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, The Virgin and Child with St. Anne, Madonna of the Rocks, and Alexandros of Antioch's Venus de Milo. Located in the centre of the city of Paris, between the Rive Droite of the Seine and the rue de Rivoli in the Ier arrondissement, it is accessed by the Palais Royal — Musée du Louvre Metro station. The equestrian statue of Louis XIV constitutes the starting point axe historique, but the palace is not aligned on this axis.
With a record 8.3 million visitors received in 2006,[1] the Louvre is by far the most visited culture and art museum in the world. It is also the most visited monument in Paris.
Place de la Concorde; Obélisque de Luxor
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_de_la_Concorde
The Place de la Concorde, which is the largest place in Paris, is situated along the Seine and separates the Tuilerie Gardens from the beginning of the Champs Elysées. It is in the 8th arrondissement, or district, of the city.
Jacques Ange Gabriel, Louis XV's architect, began construction in 1754 and completed it in 1763. It was thus called the Place Louis XV. The place was constructed to hold an equestrian statue of Louis XV that the city of Paris commissioned in 1748 from Bouchardon to offer to the king. The place formed an octagon bordered by large moats that no longer exist. In contrast to older places that were closed, la Place de la Concorde, largely open, served as an intersection as well as a decoration. The equestrian statue marks the intersection of two principal axis: the East-West axis from the perspective of the Tuilerie Gardens and the Champs Elysées, the North-South axis from the perspective of la rue Royale and the bridge created in alignment. With respect to urban accomplishments, it is the greatest achievement of the Enlightenment in the capital.
It became the Place de la Révolution and held in its center the guillotine that executed in particular Louis XVI, Marie-Antoinette, Danton, Robespierre, and 2800 others between 1793 and 1795. It is said that the smell of blood was so strong that a herd of cattle refused to cross the place. After the Revolution it suffered a series of transformations et several changes of name: place de la Concorde, place Louis XV again, place Louis XVI, place de la Chartre, and once again place de la Concorde to symbolize the end of a troubled era and the hope of a better future.
The place today maintains the general appearance that it had in the eighteenth century. The statue of Louis XV, removed during the Revolution, was replaced by the Obelisk of Luxor given by the viceroy of Egypt, Mohamed Ali, to Louis Phillipe. The obelisk, 22.83 meters high and weighing 230 tons, which marked the entrance to the Amon temple at Luxor, was installed in 1836. Hittorf completed the decoration of the place between 1833 and 1846. The obelisk is at the center of an oval whose two centers are fountains constructed at the same period. At each corner of the octagon is found a statue that represents one of the large French cities: Lille, Strasbourg, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Nantes, Brest and Rouen. The Horses of Marly, monumental statues representing a group of horses, that are found at the beginning of the Champs Elysées are now at the Louvre Museum and have been replaced by copies. The place is bordered to the north by l'Hôtel Crillon and l'Hôtel of the Navy Minister that frames the rue Royale, to the east by the Jeu de Paume and L'Orangerie of the Tuileries, to the west by the beginning of the Champs Elysés and to the south by the bridge of the Concorde built by Perronnet between 1787 and 1790. This bridge which leads to the Palais Bourbon was enlarged between 1930 and 1932.
Grand Palais
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Palais
The Grand Palais ("Grand Palace") is a large glass exhibition hall that was built for the Paris Exhibition of 1900. It is located in the VIIIe arrondissement of Paris, France.
Built at the same time as the Petit Palais and the Pont Alexandre III, the exterior of this massive palace combines an imposing Classical sont façade with a riot of Art Nouveau ironwork.
The building was closed for 12 years for extensive restoration work after one of the glass ceiling panels fell in 1993. It reopened on Saturday 24 September 2005.
A little known fact is that the Grand Palais has a major police station in the basement which helps protect the exhibits on show, and particularly the picture exhibition "Salons" as the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux Arts, Salon d'Automne and Salon "Comparaisons".

Champs-Elysees

Arc de Triomphe
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_de_triomphe
One of the landmarks of Napoleon's imperial capital, the Arc de Triomphe offers an admirable perspective of Paris and the twelve avenues converging in a star shape.
Commissioned in 1806 by Napoleon, shortly after his victory at Austerlitz, it was not finished until 1836. There are four huge relief sculptures at the bases of the four pillars. These commemorate The Triumph of 1810 (Cortot); Resistance , and Peace (both by Etex); and The Departure of the Volunteers, more commonly known by the name La Marseillaise (Rude).
La Marseillaise by François Rude; One of four reliefs on the pillars of the Arch. The day the Battle of Verdun started in 1916, the sword
carried by the figure representing the Republic broke off. The relief was immediately hidden to conceal the accident and avoid any undesired associations or interpretations as a bad omen.
Engraved around the top of the Arch are the names of major victories won during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic periods. The names of less important victories, as well as those of 558 generals, are to found on the inside walls. Generals whose names are underlined died in action.
Beneath the Arch is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and eternal flame commemorating the dead of the two world wars.
Here every Armistice Day (11 November) the President of the Republic lays a wreath. On 14 July - the French National Day (refered to as Bastille Day everywhere except in France) - a military parade down the Champs Elysées begins here. For important occasions of state, and national holidays, a huge French tricolor is unfurled and hung from the vaulted ceiling inside of the Arch.

Many bars and restaurants here, particularly Spanish “Tapas” very lively neighborhood.
The Colonne de Juillet dominates la Place de la Bastille. It marks the site of the prison known as the Bastille which was stormed by the Mob in 1789 at the start of the French Revolution. In the subway station beneath the square, stones from the Bastille's foundation can still be seen. This square is also home to the Opéra Bastille completed in 1990.
Chateau de Versailles
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chateau_de_Versailles
http://chateauversailles.fnacspectacles ... &seance=15
The best-known of France’s chateaux, the Château de Versailles, is also one of the most prestigious monuments of world heritage. Louis XIII’s former hunting lodge was transformed and...extended at his son’s request, to house the seat of the royal court and the French government.
Evocatively-named sites such as the Royal Apartments, the Hall of Mirrors and the Chapel are renowned for the magnificence of their decoration, which has been beautifully restored.
In the 18th century, yet more apartments were added, and the Petit Trianon and the Hameau de la Reine joined the Grand Trianon created in 1687 by Jules Hardouin-Mansart.
The French-style gardens are home to over 400 marble and bronze statues and splendid fountains. The park, designed by Le Nôtre, open on to the Grande Perspective, lined with statues, flowering borders and groves. A sight for sore eyes!
Not to be missed: magical Grandes Eaux Musicales, when the fountains are set in action to music, on until 30 September this year.
Saint-Germain-des-Prés
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Germain-des-Pres
Really beautiful church, take a look at it if you have some spare time.
Pantheon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panth%C3%A9on%2C_Paris
Masterpiece by Soufflot (1713-1780). A former church, the Panthéon, since the French Revolution, is the necropolis of great French men. 61 "great men" lie there namely Voltaire, Rousseau, Hugo, Zola, Jaurès, Moulin. Visit of the nave, the upper levels and the crypt.
Louis XV vowed in 1744 that if he recoverd from an illness he would replace the ruined church of St-Genèvieve Abbey with an edifice to the glory of the patron saint of Paris: St-Genèvieve. The Marquis of Marigny was entrusted with the fulfillment of the vow after the king regained his health. The protégé of Marigny - Soufflot - was charged with the plans.
Thus began the construction of the Panthéon. Situated on the Montagne St-Genèvieve, it had a commanding view of the city. The overall design was that of a Greek cross with a massive portico of corinthian columns. Its ambitious lines called for a vast buidling 110 metres long by 84 metres wide, and 83 metres high. No less vast was its crypt.
The foundations were laid in 1758, but due to financial difficulties, it was only completed after Soufflot's death (1780) by his student,
Rondelet, in 1789. No sooner completed, than the Revolutionaly government changed its mission from that of a church to that of a mausoleum for the remains of great Frenchmen.
Twice since then it has reverted to being a church, only to become again a temple to the great men of France. Among those buried in its necropolis are Voltaire, Rousseau, Mirabeau, Marat, Victor Hugo, Emile Zola, and Soufflot its architect.
The remains of Jean Moulin - hero of the French Resistence during the Second World War - were moved here by Charles de Gaulle.

The Madeleine Church
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89glis ... _Madeleine
Started in 1764 during the reign of Louis XV, and designed by Constant d'Ivry using plans based on the St-Louis-des-Invalide Church, it was razed by a second architect to who favored a design modeled after the Panthéon. However this second design was not well accepted either, and all work ceased between 1790 and 1806.
Napoléon then decided that a Temple of Glory to his Grande Armée should be built, and Pierre-Alexandre Vignon was commissioned to draw up the plans. After razing the remaining efforts from 1790, building started on what was to be a Greek temple. The commemorative role of the edifice was lost when the Arc de Triomphe was completed in 1808, and again the focus of the structure became ambiguous.
In 1814, Louis XVIII confirmed that the Madeleine should be a church, but in 1837 it was nearly selected to be the first railway station of Paris. Finally in 1842 it was consecrated as a church.

JazzSinging at the SUNSIDE
The youngest in the family of Jazz clubs, the Sunside already has everything to keep enthusiasts happy. Having moved into the first floor of the Sunset, where the restaurant used to be, the Sunside is in effect taking over the acoustic jazz selections of the Sunset.
The Sunset, in turn is taking advantage of the occasion to have a saving facelift, expanding its musical horizons to electric jazz (fusion, groove, electro) and world music. Two ambiances in the one place with a common love: jazz in all its forms.
