Transport from Pepignan Airport to Argeles (La Sirene)

Hi, we are 2 families of 9 people travelling from Pepignan Airport to Argeles, camping La Sirene at the end of August. We believe it is about 20km. I was wondering should we get a taxis or hire cars, how much do you think it would cost either way.

Also if you have any other advice on places to visit etc whilst there I would be grateful.

Many thanks

Hi, we have just come back from argeles and it was the best holiday we have ever had and are going back next year!!

We hired a car from perpignan airport so did not need taxi, car was a ford cmax and cost us ������������������450.00 for 16days, but you do need it as there is so much to do in the area and a car is ideal although not essential. It takes about 40 mins top get from airport to la sirene, try to go to climbing park near the site, reception will give details, also go karting and bowling on same complex as climbing park. Everyone will tell you to do little yellow train into pyranees, but if you have kids, dont, pretty but boring... nicest place to visit is coillure, 10 mins down coast and stunning, aslo only calm sea for swimming in the area. pool on site is lovely but COLD%26amp;gt;%26amp;gt;%26amp;gt;food on site restuarant good and cheap... have a great time.

I%26#39;ve been to La Sirene 6x now. It%26#39;s good. A cheap way to travel around is this:

Take shuttle bus from airport to train station Perpignan. From there, take train which takes 20 min to Argeles. From there, take taxi to campsite, drive is 10 min. max.

At the campsite you can hire bikes for around 40-60 euro/week, depending on model. Shop at Lid%26#39;l in center of Argeles Village and you save loads!

Oh yes, the pool warms up by 2nd week July, once the sun warms up.

|||

Whats the weather like in Argeles dur Mer at end of May/early June? Will the pools be freezing?

I doubt they will be freezing.

Temperatures have been abnormally high since December : 24.7°C 4 weeks ago.

The weather is usually nice and warm in May/June but weather patterns seem to be a-changing !

How to see the best of Paris on a budget

Hello Everyone, my wife and I are looking to travel to France in May for 8-10 days and possibly a day trip to another local country on the euro rail . We would like to make our dollar travel as far as possible. Can people please recommend if we should book our trip through a specific tour company or simply do it on our own? We are looking for the best deals possible to see as much of France as possible. We want to visit versials, mt st. micheal, and go on a champeign tour. Can people please recommend tour company%26#39;s and give me a idea what a fair price is for most of this stuff. Any advise would be greatly appriciated

Hiya

Me and my partner travelled to Paris last November... We were on a tight budget with Christmas coming up but had an absolutely wonderful time all the same.

We booked our hotel through lastminute.com and our flights seperately with BMI.

When we were there we went on a few tours. One by open top bus which cost us 20 euros each - which to be honest i wouldnt really recommend, We had already travelled around Paris ourselves using the very easy Metro and had seen pretty much all they show on the bus tours, plus the commentary on the bus isnt that great anyway.

We also went on a river cruise down the Seine which was brilliant, excellt value for money (cost just 10 euros each) much better commentary and more romantic atmosphere plus you get a more chance for pictures etc as the boat moves alot slower than the bus.

Id also recommend, if going to the Eiffel Tower you do it as late as possible, It closes at 10/10.30 (i think if i remember rightly) me and my partner went about 9 and was able to just walk straight on, plus at night, again, much more romantic, the Tower is all lit up and you can look out over the beautiful bright lights of the city from the top..

Another peice of advise would be, dont use taxis, we found that some of the drivers, as you%26#39;re unsure of where you were going, would take you the longest possible route while your just sat there watching the meter clock up and up. The metro is easy to use - if you follow what seems to be the rule in Paris which is *NO WAITING, JUST PUSH YOUR WAY ON* and is also very very cheap.

Hope this helps and you and your wife have as lovely time as we did on our visi there...

hi, we also recently travelled to paris on a pretty tight budget and found it wasn%26#39;t as bad as what some people say price-wise if you%26#39;re smart.

Our hotel had a special offer which included four nights accommodation including breakfast, a museum pass and a paris visite pass with five day zone 1-3 metro and bus pass. Considering the museum pass was about 50euros and the only other attraction we paid for that wasn%26#39;t included in this was the eiffel tower and grande arche we thought that was great value. Things like louvre, arc de triumph, notre dame, musee rodin, concergerie, versailles (just had to pay for audio guide), pompidou centre...The metro pass got us around the city by train and bus really easily. Only paid to get to versailles as it%26#39;s outside the zones included, again not much.

We also avoided the bistro%26#39;s a cafes adjacent to major tourist sites and chose to eat in italian cafes and pizzerias, asian (mostly japanese) and indian restaurants whihc are much cheaper than most of the bistro restaurants we saw.

hope this helps

sorry, also forgot our special offer also included a one hour boat cruise with commentary which we went on at sunset which was great!

I always travel on a tight budget. In general, IMO, I find it best to book things separately. I am sure there are very good deals to be found booking a package deal with a tour company, but I don%26#39;t like to compromise anything. I like to go when I like to go and do what I like to do.

Try signing up for travel alerts, keep checking airfare on-line. Try to be flexible with your dates..sometimes that will pay off with the airfare. Also, if you do find a good deal on a package, you can certainly post the details here on TA and many will help let you know what they think. Sometimes the hotels in the package is not so great or very far from the center of the city, which in turn could drive up your transportation cost and general enjoyment of Paris. Try looking up the hotel included in any package here on TA and see what others have to say about it.

There are many budget hotels, restaurants and general tips on this forum about saving money. You can do a search and pick up alot of useful info that way as well.

Good luck and have a great trip!

|||

Number one tip,, read these boards, read , read , read, I had been to Paris 4 or 5 times before , and I still learn great tips on this board .. how to cut line up time, get good deals, and I found and booked two hotels directly, after checking them out on the review board here.

Paris can be done relatively cheaply. At least it IS a lot cheaper then Hawaii, which I think after London is a very expensive place to visit.

Versiallles. Take the train from the Invalids station, costs about 5 euros, and takes 45 minutes. Much better then paying 30-50 euros and up for a bus tour there!

Paris is full of cheap places to eat, notthe fancy restarants, but cafes and bistros and street carts.

Aovid tourist area cafes, if it has a view your soda will cost 10 bucks!

|||

Lots of good ideas in the previous posts. Along with those mentioned already we%26#39;ve found the biggest money (and time!) saver for us has been to picnic for lunch. From hot entrees to cold sandwiches, sausage, fruit, dairy etc. there%26#39;s so much available for carryout and you%26#39;re not at the mercy of someone else%26#39;s schedule. Our travel kit includes a corkscrew and a small collapsible cooler and, along with a trip to the nearest marche our first day usually involves picking up a small Opinel knife, some plastic flatware and paper napkins. Also, drink that morning coffee at the bar or counter rather than sitting at a table and you%26#39;ll save a lot.

|||

The best previous advise it to read the forum constantly and ask questions until the day your leave. There are so many tips here for saving money. If you have to get high up to see Paris from above, go up the Arc de Triomphe instead of the Eiffel Tower. It%26#39;s lots less expensive and there%26#39;s rarely a line to waste precious time standing in. On days when there is inclement weather and you can%26#39;t picnic, have your big meal at lunch when the same meal at the same restaurant for dinner is twice as much. Get good walking shoes and DEFINITELY break them in well before your trip (this may not save money, well, okay, you won%26#39;t be spending money on band-aids...but it will likely save your feet and make your trip more enjoyable). And don%26#39;t forget to eat an eclair a day while you%26#39;re there. I%26#39;m convinced they ward off illness...:) Have fun!

|||

I still believe the single best way to save money right from the start, particularly since you%26#39;ll be there longer than a week, is to rent an apartment. Your lodging will very possibly be cheaper than a hotel, and even if it%26#39;s the same price, you%26#39;ll save money by shopping at a local market for breakfast, picnic items, a few dinners, etc.

Pick a neighborhood and then start searching on vrbo.com or many other sites mentioned and/or recommended on here. Search TA for apartment rentals. There are many reputable companies and individuals out there who will rent for 8-10 days. Museum passes, transportation passes, all easily obtainable in Paris once you arrive, may also save you money. Perhaps the most important thing one can do to save money, provided you have the time, is to avoid any third party provider. Whether it%26#39;s a tour, an Internet company, etc., if they%26#39;re selling you something, they%26#39;re going to price it so they make money, and I have yet to find anything in Paris that I can%26#39;t buy or book on my own.

Use public (mass) transportation, not private. Read menus posted outside restaurants and choose those within your budget. And when you use TA, be as specific as you can be, as the responses on here will be much more useful to you if you get pointed and clear answers. For instance, when looking for a restaurant, ask for recommendations that are in your budget. Don%26#39;t ask for %26quot;moderately priced%26quot; restaurants, as we all have different opinions on what that means. But if you ask for recommendations for restaurants less than €20 per person, the responses you get will be more fruitful.

In most cases, planning your itinerary loosely in advance will help you save money. If you%26#39;re there for 8 days, and buy a museum pass for 6, plan your itinerary to do things on the 2 days you don%26#39;t have a pass to include those things you don%26#39;t need the pass for, like visiting the Eiffel Tower, or seeing an exhibit that%26#39;s not included. Investigate all your transportation pass options and purchase the type that makes the most sense for your needs. Passes come in different durations, different zones, or distances, etc. Buying the one that suits your plans best will definitely save you money.

|||

For what it%26#39;s worth, I, and a lot of others on the forum, agree with ArrowCapet about the apartment. Aside from the fact that you have more of a %26quot;home%26quot; while in Paris, it is often (but not always) less expensive than a hotel. Unless I was staying in a city for less than 5 days or a week, I would always opt for an apartment. Having said that, you need to be sure you won%26#39;t miss the services of a concierge. Good luck.

|||

thanks alot everyone, i really appriciate it

Hostels in Paris

Hi, I was recommended by a friend that my wife and I should stay in one of Paris%26#39;s many hostels. He said they were cheap, clean and nice. Can people please give me some opinions on some specific hostels that offer the most value and are the nicest.

Any advise would be greatly appriciated

|||

Most hostels seem not very central.

Relatively more centrally located ones do exist but do not appear on most hostel searches for some reason.

Here%26#39;s one that I stayed at regularly before 2001. It may be worth checking to see if it%26#39;s still in operation.

Maison des Clubs UNESCO. 43 rue de la Glacière, 75013. tel: 33.01.43.36.00.63

check out reviews at hostelworld.com

eurocheapo.

Have heard that the MIJE in the Marais are good. Don%26#39;t know from personal experience.

Corsica Honeymoon

Hi

I am planning to go to Corsica for my Honeymoon in late August. Currently, we are arriving in Bastia Airport and plan to drive across to Piana and spend 6 nights in Les Roches Rouges and investigate this area which looks spectacular. After this we plan to spend our last 5 nights in Algajola and sail out from Ille Rousse to Nice. I am looking for advice on the following:

1) The drive from Bastia to Piana, while it looks short on the map, I hear the roads are quite bad and I am wondering how long this journey would take us.

2) Any must see things in the Piana area?

3) Any recommendations on where to stay in Algajola in terms of hotel or even self catering.

4) Would Calvi or Ille Rousse in terms of a days shopping and how late does the tram connecting these towns run in the evening.

5) Are there any other recommended day trips to nice beaches or towns near algajola?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

Brian

|||

Brian, sounds like a good schedule to me. First of all, congratulations on your forthcoming wedding.

Here are some thoughts on your queries:

1. If I were you, I%26#39;d drive down through the middle rather than via the coast. The roadworks near Porto will almost certainly be finished by August, but it%26#39;s still a very twisty, edgy drive, especially southbound, and it%26#39;s not for the faint-hearted. So take the road via Ponte Leccia, Corte, Vizzavona and Ajaccio - then go back up the coast to Cargese and on to Piana.

2. Yes - the Calanches de Piana is the most famous local beauty spot , but you will be told about that when you arrive. If you are into history, the Greek church at Cargese is also worth a visit, and there%26#39;s a lovely river walk between Ota and Evisa, near Porto.

3. I%26#39;m no authority on hotel accommodation. However, I%26#39;m sure you will find somewhere if other posts on this site are anything to go by - but move soon! August gets busy round here!

4. Calvi and Ile Rousse are both nice small, boutiquey shopping places with some quite decent clothes shops - though some are a little pricey. You can find out about the tram times on www.corsicbus.org.

5. Take your pick! Algajola beach is very nice itself, but there are several little jewels along the tram line - Ste Restitude, Arinella, Giorgio... I could go on, (and others probably will).

Have a great time!

Hello Brian - good choice for a honeymoon and the crowds will be thinning out by late August.

The shortest route from Bastia to Piana is not one I would recommend to the first day of a first timer - it might put you off for good! Part of the road is the Scala di Santa Regina and is one of the most frightening roads in Corsica. Then the road climbs to the highest pass on the island, the Col de Verghio, before falling to the coast at Porto. Very picturesque, but you may like to leave it until you are fully accustomed to Corsican roads. I don%26#39;t think the length of time taken is particularly important. A reasonable alternative, much longer but much easier roads, is to go via Ajaccio and Cargese. You could spend a day and night in Ajaccio.

Piana itself is not directly on the coast. The obvious %26quot;must see%26quot; which you actually can%26#39;t miss is %26quot;Les Calanches%26quot;, fantastic rock formation penetrated by the Piana-Porto road. Very busy with tourists during the day, but lots of walks, short and long, in the area.

Do have a coffee and pizza in the village square in Piana and watch the world (or rather lots of tourists) go by.

The nearest beach is the Plage d%26#39;Arone along the D824 from Piana, but you might like to visit Cargese, bigger than Piana and lots of beaches to choose from. The other way are the Spelunca Gorges and the Foret d%26#39;Aitone and also the very tricky road to Calvi - lots about this in the Forum.

You have to appreciate that Algajola is a VERY small place. There are a couple of beach side hotels and a few other places to stay, but of course the tramway is a big plus here. Train times on www.corsicabus.org. Lots of beaches along the route of the tramway and further along from L%26#39;ile Rousse by car are Lozari and Ostriconi beaches.

Calvi and L%26#39;ile Rousse are also small towns and I would not imagine you could actually spend a day shopping in either place. Both are very pleasant to stroll round and explore.

The Haute Balagne is a must for a day out from the places on the coast and again this has been described on this forum before.

|||

Sorry, I meant www.corsicabus.org, NOT corsicbus.org. Aardvark, please tell my wife you can%26#39;t spend a day shopping in Calvi and Ile Rousse!!! How many things do you try on?! DTR

|||

Come on, Derek! Do you really spend any part of your Corsica holiday watching your wife shop for clothes?? Leave her to it and go to the beach with a couple of bottles of cooled Corsican beer, like any normal hubby!! Bad for your credit card bill, but otherwise excellent!%26quot;

|||

I think we%26#39;re setting these soon-to-be-weds a bad example! However, I must say shopping%26#39;s not really my thing and prefer the beer %26amp; beach suggestion. (;-)

|||

I%26#39;ve only stayed once in any of the hotels in Algajola but I%26#39;ve met several people who have stayed in others. They are all really in the 2-3 star range (and some are more in the 1 star).

The only remotely honeymoon contenders I would say are:

the beau rivage - right on the beach and featured in a few package brochures, no pool, fairly basicmainly fish restaurant with limited choice. 2 stars http://en.hotel-beau-rivage.com/en/

the ondine - 5 minutes from the beach, right in the village, still overlooking the sea, with a pool, and a well-regarded restaurant. Maybe 2-3 stars.

http://www.hotel-londine.com/

the pascal paoli (which is actually in the commune of aregno) modern but low rise and quite tasteful, back from the beach, across the main road, still no distance from the beach. many more facilities - pool, tennis courts, night club (could be a drawback). 3 stars.

http://www.hotel-pascal-paoli.fr/

It depends how much luxury you want but you won%26#39;t find top of the range in Algajola. But these are all well situated and I%26#39;m sure quite comfortable. At that time of the year you might have to take half-board so the quality of the restaurant would be important.

I have stayed in the Hotel St Joseph, which has no restaurant or public rooms to speak of, clean, friendly and basic; and friends have stayed in l%26#39;Esquinade, ditto. Both 1-2 stars and not really suitable for a prolonged stay, but reasonably priced. And if you stayed there you wouldn%26#39;t be tied down for dinner - there are half a dozen restaurants to choose from in the village.

There is lots of self catering, too much to recommend - try gites de france, abritel, etc, although august will be difficult. you need to book soon.

|||

Hi

I am really glad that I posted this message. Thanks to everyone for all the great advice about hotels, driving and the quality of corsican beer! I just ask for one last piece of advice, can you tell me what your opinion of Ille Rousse is. It seems to have faired badly in guide books who complain about the crowds in August and the poor quality of the beach. We are kind of limited in the second destination in our honeymoon as we are leaving from the ferryport in Ille Rouuse very early on our last morning and we really dont want to split our trip up into more than two destinations in terms of hotels. That is why I thought algajola seemed an attractive option. However, if I thought Ille Rousse was a good option, I would give it serious consideration also. All we are looking for is a nice hotel on or near the beach with good potential for day trips.

Cheers

Brian

|||

Ile Rousse is terrific - don%26#39;t believe what they say in the guidebooks. It has rather more of a French feel than some of the other towns in the area, but don%26#39;t let that put you off.

Yes, it will certainly be crowded in August (as will most other places in Corsica) but the beach is great - clean, safe, with very clear blue water. I can%26#39;t understand why anyone should complain about it.

The main road connecting Calvi, Ile Rousse, Algajola and Ponte Leccia is of very high standard and you will be able to whizz along there very swiftly on the morning you have to catch your ferry wherever you decide to spend the last week. Europcar and Hertz both have drop-off points near the port, and you%26#39;ll probably find you leave your car at one of these depots when you leave.

Traffic can build up through Ile Rousse around Monday to Saturday 11-12 am just before the shops shut for the lunchtime/afternoon siesta but that shouldn%26#39;t be a worry at 7 am.

|||

Personally I don%26#39;t care much for Ile Rousse, and tend to agree with the guide books, although there are nice beaches not very far away.

Calvi is nicer, and the beach much better. And as Derek says, not a problem getting along the coast to catch the ferry. And I%26#39;m very partisan about Algajola - love the smallness and unpretentiousness of it, and the beach is the best for swimming (gets deep quickly whereas in Calvi you have to walk for miles)

One place I%26#39;ve just thought in these parts, which might be good honeymoon territory, although a drive from any shops or towns - is Le Rocher - mainly a restaurant, but they have a few rooms. It%26#39;s on the end of a beautiful peninsula, with fabulous views and strolls to small coves nearby. It can get rather windy because of its exposed position but the breeze is quite welcome at that time of year.

http://www.lerocherdelumio.com/plage.htm

|||

Thanks again for the advice. You all have given me much to consider. By the sounds of it Calvi, Algajola and Ile Rousse all offer a lot of potential. If anyone else has other suggestions for romantic accommodation in Calvi, Ile Rouse, or Algajola I would be thrilled.

Thanks again.

Brian

Paris Disney without rides.

We have 25 gymnasts (17 years and younger) doing the day at Paris Disney - A group size of 1adult/5 children. Has anyone attempted Disney WITHOUT doing rides. (We have just been told the kids will only be allowed 1 ride) Anyone with recent experience at Paris Disney who might have some ideas for their itinerary????

|||

Sorry...no experience with DisneyLand Paris...but DLP tends to be something of a %26#39;sub-specialty%26#39;....and you might also make your inquiriy on one of the Disney-specif forums--

www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=77

|||

I suppose they could catch the parade and shows included with their passport. But... I don%26#39;t understand why they are only allowed one ride? The passport gets them onto everything all day. To be honest, other then parades and shows-- which there aren%26#39;t a TON of, the only thing left to do is eat. :)

|||

Only allowing them on 1 ride is a bit like cruelty. Here kids have a great day out watching everybody else enjoy themselves :(

You may want to re-think whether it is worth going under those circumstances.

|||

Honestly, why in goodness sake would you take a bunch of children to Disneyland and tell them %26quot;one ride%26quot; . That is just plain mean, and , frankly, kind of wierd.

The daypass is all rides included, so why would you put that ridiculus rule on,, are getting in free or something?? Well, I just would NOT take the kids there, and then say %26quot; one ride%26quot; .

I would love to hear the reason for this, I think there MUST be a miscommunication.

Thats like taking them to a buffet, and telling them they may only choose one item.

|||

Thanks for all your input. My sentiments are the same as yours. (If not stronger - as I have done Disneyland and Disneyworld) There is no mistake and the kids are not allowed to opt out of the day. Reasons given - there%26#39;s more to Disney than rides - Hello! maybe on days 3 %26amp; 4.

|||

But asussieviv, are they PAYING for a proper ticket? If they are paying for a full ticket then whoever has made this rule is being an absolute idiot and ripping off the kids and their parents( who no doubt are at least finally finacning this trip.

I don%26#39;t get this stealing from children!

|||

Besides , there is not that much to do in Disney except SHOP and eat otherwise, how is a planned %26quot;shopping%26quot; day in Disneyland a better deal, I mean everything there is very expensive.

Who is responsible for this idea. Are the parents aware of this stealing from the kids, and why go to Disney at all.

Weirdest thing I have ever heard of!

|||

%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;, why in goodness sake would you take a bunch of children to Disneyland%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;

Ya%26#39; probably could have stopped right there. Taking a group of 25 adolescents anywhere is one of those bright ideas that often %26#39;..sounds..%26#39; great in theory....but finds you with your head in your hands afterward, muttering incoherently, %26quot;..What was I thinking...what was I thinking...??..%26quot;.

|||

You might try www.dlrpmagic.com for more ideas. Good Luck!

|||

%26lt;%26lt;there%26#39;s more to Disney than rides%26gt;%26gt;

This is a very curious observation and one with which I could not more vehemently differ. None the less, perhaps the best site for information on Disney is the following:

www.micechat.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=20

These people are Disney park specialists. Pose your question here aussieviv and I should assume that they will be even more perplexed by it than we are.

march in paris

I was wondering if Paris in mid-March will be at all %26quot;leafy,%26quot; or if, like in most of the U.S., the vegetation will be mostly still brown....will any flowers be out yet? we%26#39;ll be there the 16th thru the 21st.

|||

If there are no flowers in March, go to the Champs Elysees. There is a little park at the corner of the Champs Elysees at the Place de la Concorde, right in front of the Hotel Crillon. There were lots of flowers this past Monday. We were so surprised to see them that we took pictures of them. I%26#39;m sure a local will some along and answer your question in more general terms.

|||

Paris is about the same latitude as Winnipeg.

I%26#39;ve seen Paris cold, dark, wet and leafless in mid-March. However, yes, a few key gardens always have flowers in them like under the Eiffel Tower.

|||

We had NO WINTER in Paris this year so all bets are off. Everything normally brown at this time of year is already blooming green as though it were late April. Cherry trees are shedding their petals at the end of February.

One thing you can count on, regardless of global warming is the astounding ability of the Mairie de Paris (city hall) to plant seasonal flowers in the parks year-round. It%26#39;s simply amazing. When the summer flowers start looking a little sad, you go for a walk in the park the next day and it%26#39;s been completely re-planted with autumn flowers, in full bloom, and so on... I%26#39;m not exaggerating. It%26#39;s hard to find a time of year when the Luxembourg Gardens aren%26#39;t beautiful. Same goes for all the rest of them. What a city.

|||

Awesome! It sounds beautiful!! Thanks

Hotel or B&B near Eiffel Tower

I%26#39;m trying to help my mom and brother out finding a hotel or b%26amp;b near the eiffel towe. they will be in paris from march 29-31 and are looking to spend ~$160USD a night. Can you please help me out with some recommendations. They don%26#39;t any typical ammenities (pool, etc).

Thanks!

|||

Haven%26#39;t stayed there but Hotel Eiffel Seine is getting good comments... Other reliable ones are Hotel Relais Bosquet and Hotel Splendid Eiffel...

Your price is about 122€...

|||

Hotel Bassano and Hotel Regenica Elysees are amazine. Check their own websites as sometimes you can get very competitive rates. If it is within your budget I would highly recommend these hotels. Great location, just off Champs Elysees and about 10 minute walk to Eiffel tower.

Also try Hotel du Champs de Mars and Hotel Valadon. Both have really good things written about them on TA and they are in good areas. Don%26#39;t know the rate.

I came back from staying at the Hotel Eiffel Seine on Monday, its veyr close to the Eiffel Tower, its a nice hotel, staff are really nice too.

I would stay heer again.

We got the Paris Hilton Eiffel Tower in March on Hotwire for $119 plus tax. I thought it was a bargain.

|||

We got a rate at the Hilton for $116 a night the second week of April through Hotwire.

|||

Hotel de Varenne and Hotel Muguet are two other possibilities. Both are very good hotels with great management.
