Paris Vacation Plans Other Than the Football Game

For those going to the game in Paris in October -
I am interested in hearing what else everyone is going to do in and outside of Paris other than the football game.
Day trips, other places on the itinerary, favorite restaurants. Any Saints related activities?
Our plan is to fly to Paris the weekend before the game, rent a car at the airport and drive to the Loire Valley which is about two hours to the south. While basing in Amboise, we will explore the countryside, visiting the castles and wineries and soaking in the scenery. We will drive to Paris the Friday before the game and stay in the St. Germain des Pres neighborhood.
Might as well make a good vacation out of it.

I would suggest avoiding moose-limbs as much as possible.

Food Tour
I’d suggest a food tour. It’s a good way to see the city and experience a real French experience. I did the one in the link and it was great!
The Louvre is amazing, but don’t skimp on the Musée d’Orsay.

You better watch yourself down there. France is one of the worst offenders of importing 3rd world scum in Europe. Paris is barely recognizable, especially that area around the tower.

It’s a full day trip, but get to Normandy and visit Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery.

I went to Paris last summer. I highly recommend taking the train to Versailles. Do the tour. It’s a great day.

Make sure your woman follows the government suggested anti sexual assault dress code on public transit if you’re using it

Bump to update.
I am here now.
We arrived in Paris on Sunday, got a rental car at CDG and drove to the Loire Valley. We are staying in Amboise and will go back to Paris on Friday.
Our plane out of MSY had a bunch of people on it who were going to the game. I happened to see several groups that I knew. A lot of Tiger fans were watching the Mississippi State game on television.
Many of them were doing the same thing I am doing: going elsewhere in Europe before going to Paris before next weekend.
Everyone was in a festive mood.
The Saints game is a good excuse for a European vacation.

Visit the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Montmartre. Breath taking views of Paris

Very unfortunate what is going on there right now but funnily enough the view from the Basilica is shown in that AI video

Will be there tomorrow. Doing Mont St Michel and Riems for a few days before heading into the city.

The French countryside is beautiful.. Small towns and villages are usually worth a visit…

We’ve been in Beaune since checking out the Burgundy region. We were Paris Saturday night near the Place Madeline. It was wild. Back on Friday. Hope the game happens!
