Paris is romantic, stylish but also simple, modern and at the same time historic. At night, with the lights from landmarks shimmering off the Seine, it glitters like a typical chandelier, as alluring as a dazzling French Julie femme. With massive museums, famous landmarks, cafes on every corner, fun bars and one of the world’s most beautiful rivers at night, Paris is a prime tourist destination.

Paris has two airports such as Orly and the disappointing Charles de Gaulle. We say disappointing because deGaulle was possibly the greatest leader in French history yet the airport that bears his name is old, narrow and short on facilities. Many travelers have missed flights attempting to get from one gate or incurable to another, as this requires exiting the airport and re-entering through security.

Fortunately, escape to the city is easier to navigate, via the Metro (8 Euros, about 40 minutes to the central de Halle station; it is called the RER which means the suburban express), or Air France Bus (13, check for drop-off locations) or taxi (about 40 Euros). You can even rent a car from the local cheap car rental if you know the direction. From Orly, the Air France bus takes about 25 minutes; there is no Metro but a RER bus journey is about 45 minutes.

There are a large number of agencies offering you rental options in Paris. However, once you got there one or twice, you can ask for the phone numbers of the owners, so you could talk with them directly when you plan another trip in Paris in the near future.

However, sometimes the owners are difficult people with lots of pretences. This is why it is better to sign a contract first. This way, you will have to make sure that the price doesn’t change, the owner of the villa has to keep his part of the agreement, but you will also need to pay the money in time.
