“Great way to see the city”

“We were really lucky with the weather in January when we took this trip. We took the boat offer as well. The bus was pretty empty as we went outside of the school holidays so we didn’t have a problem with seats upstairs and the commentary was good. If you are getting off at the Eiffel Tower to have a look its actually nice to get off at the Trocadero stop as the view of the tower is really good and it’s only a 5/10 walk to the Tower from there.”

 Here is a plan! 

"Les Cars Rouges" wish you a pleasant visit to Paris!

We chose “Les cars rouges” over the competitor l'Open tour due to only being there for the weekend and knowing it stopped near all the main places we wanted to visit. The other buses have more stops over 4 different routes - but the main tour route covers similar ground to” Les Cars Rouges”. The price was 26€ each paid on the bus for the two day ticket. Listening to the guide through the headphones gave just enough information for me to take in and try to remember.
We never had to wait more than 5-10 minutes for a bus to arrive, there were many going about that we saw. At the weekend it runs until about 8 pm so you just need to be aware of your time if you want to get back to your original stop by then!
Overall, just as we expected and required - a great way to see all the main sites and get your bearings. The only site it does not go near to is Sacre Coeur of Montmartre (would require changing buses on the competitor). We used the metro to get here.

Following the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 and the siege of Paris by the the Prussian army, the city rose in February 1871 against the government of Aldolphe Thiers, newly elected to sign a peace treaty with the Prussia. Faced with Paris insurrection, the government of Adolphe Thiers left the Capital and took refuge in Versailles. The Parisians held their elections on 26^th March to appoint members of the Council of the Commune. Among those elected were such illustrious figures such as the writer Jules Vallès and the painter Gustave Courbet...This Commune experience was however brief. Versailles troops took back the city on May 28^th 1871 followed by a ruthless crackdown which is known as the "bloody week".

For the 140th anniversary of the Paris Commune, an exhibition in the lobby of the “Hôtel de Ville” will be held. A play will also be staged on the square in front of the Town Hall. This should help both Parisians and tourists to have a better understanding of a piece of history which contributed to the rebellious image of Paris  . The exhibition is free and runs from 18^th March to 28^th May 2011.
