GNU Free Documentation License Anyone know what neighborhoods in Paris are the nicest to raise a family? Q. My husband and I are looking to relocate to Paris, or the outskirts of Paris, and I am unfamiliar of what neighborhoods are the best for raising a family, and a safe, hip enviroment. We have a 1 year old little girl and I want to provide her with the best neighborhood possible, so could someone familiar with the area tell me of some great places for families? Asked by lilypond - Mon Jul 13 16:09:17 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Paris is like all capitals. It has extremely expensive properties in the middle of the city and a variety of suburbs which range from desirable middle-class area where properties are expensive like Neuilly, to poor down-at-heel areas like Saint-Denis or Clichy-sous-bois where poor immigrants have conglomerated and where there were serious riots four years ago when the police was attacked with petrol bombs and cars were set on fire. Accommodation is very expensive. To rent you have to think of 1 200 Euros a month for something decent like a small studio apartment. To buy a small house in a quiet area like Menilmontant, with living, dining -kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom, a tiny attic, a cellar and a small back garden, the price is… [cont.] Answered by WISE OWL - Tue Jul 14 10:24:20 2009 How do I go from Paris to Cannes via train?

Asked by Rizuan - Tue Apr 29 07:19:31 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes, there are frequent trains. The TGVs take about 5 hours and 10 minutes direct. There are trains every hour. The website for French railways is very complicated and doesn't give results half the time. Supposedly you can buy your ticket online and pick it up at a French train station. Just buy it at the station when you get there, like a day in advance. One way 2nd class costs from $119 to $146 depending on train.

Q. We're planning a trip to Disneyland Paris later this year and will be flying into Charles De Gaulle Airport. How much would it cost to travel by RER train (2 adults and 1 child) and whereabouts in the airport would we need to catch the train from? Asked by Osprey - Fri Mar 12 03:55:13 2010 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. In the airport where to take the RER is indicated, and if you're not in the the terminal where the station is you can take the automated free shuttle CDG Val.. Then look at this map you'll just have to go from Aeroport Charles De Gaulle (B3 North of blue line) to Marne-la-Vallee Chessy (A4 East of red line) through Chatelet Les Halles. You're lucky the change is the easiest : once you're at Chatelet les Halles its on the same platform but on the other side (in front of you).. As for the price I just remember the fare from CDG to Chatelet its 8.10EUR/per adult (sorry no idea for kid) but you can check here i guess ==> Enjoy!!
