                <description><![CDATA[For your first day in Paris, take a classic walking tour with an English-speaking guide to take you to all the main sightseeing spots. It only costs about 20 euros per person for 3.5 hours but you get to see all of Paris on the first day and allows you to go back and re-visit any of the sights for the rest of your holiday or go elsewhere. Wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking and bring your camera!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Since this was our first visit to Paris, we weren't sure how to best spend our time.  We came across Aeon's site and ended up taking a tour.  We were, all in all, pleased with our tour and guide. She was knowledgeable and willing to answer any of our group's questions - even our most ridiculous ones.  And, trust me, we had a few since we were there during the Metro workers strike in 2007. She was willing to start our tour later due to us not being able to get to the meeting point in time.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Most Paris visitors obviously look for the essence of France as they wander the city, but I found something exceptional and different in the Monique Wells "Discover Afro-American History in Paris" tours. <br><br>The haunts of Josephine Baker and James Baldwin come to life, and you see the wonderful Chateau Rouge area - a brilliantly vibrant mix of colours and cultures, boutiques and restaurants. Paris' varied international and colonial history is brought to life.]]></description>

Lists most events including free ones, it's what the Parisians use. Ask for it in any bar in Bastille, region of rue de lappe.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[When you've finished at the Louvre, shopping for haut couture or antique jewellery, drop into the bar at the Hotel de Vendome and let the charming and knowledgeable staff make arrangements for the rest of your day,  whatever your budget -  and desires. <br><br>They know every nook and cranny of the city and will send you off feeling like you have had the five-star experience without any of the cost - it worked for me. <br><br>Failing that, hop on the metro to Pte de Clignancourt for the fabulous street market. Saturday to Monday 7am to 7.30pm.]]></description>
