THERE ARE PLENTY OF WAYS TO GET AROUND HERE.
NOT JUST IN PARIS ANYMORE...MOST CITIES OF MODERATE SIZE HAVE RENT-A-BIKE STATIONS THROUGHOUT THEIR CITIES. FOR A FEW EUROS, JUST SWIPE YOUR CARD AND GO. AND IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM LIKE A FLAT TIRE, HELP IS JUST A CELL PHONE CALL AWAY...5 MINITE RESPONSE TIME...TRIPLE "A", EAT YOUR HEART OUT.
THE TRAINS ARE INCREDIBLE...AN UNBELIEVEABLE NETWORK OF TRAINS HOLDS THE COUNTRY TOGETHER. AND THEY RUN "ON-TIME"...SERIOUSLY. PROBLEM IS THAT TRAINS ARE GREAT IN GOING FROM CITY TO CITY, BUT IN ORDER TO VISIT THE COUNTRYSIDE YOU NEED A CAR...NOT TO MENTION THE TIME SPENT IN TRAIN STATIONS WAITING OR, STRESSING ABOUT MAKING A TRANSFER ETC. STILL FOR AN AMERICAN FROM THE WEST COAST WHERE TRAINS ARE FOUND MOSTLY IN MUSEUMS AND COFFEETABLE BOOKS, IT CAN BE AN ADVENTURE.
