Things to Wow Young Women in Paris

Please help! I%26#39;ve lived in Paris, love Paris and everything Parisien. I%26#39;m taking my step daughters for the 1st time and really want to wow them - they are typical 15 and 18 year olds in many ways - love fashion, clothes and style - but want to introduce them to more than that. Any ideas gratefully received.

Well, lunch at the Cafe de l%26#39;Homme over ooking the Eiffel Tower WOWed my 21 yr. old cousin last week. They have a website so that you can check out pricing and the menu.

There are free fashion shows at both Galleries Lafayette and Printemps. The Louvre has a design museum called the Union des Arts Decoratifs that is fun to visit.

Picnics on the Pont des Arts, Champs de Mars or the Esplanade des Invalides have great scenery with lots of other youth for the girls to admire and perhaps meet.

Thank You! I%26#39;m off to check out the website now

Maybe they%26#39;d like to have their hair styled or cut in Paris - great souvenir to take back home... (I don%26#39;t know of a specific place, but shouldn%26#39;t be hard to figure out)...

Send them on a Fat Tire Bike Tour ...

Take them to MUSEE D%26#39;ORSAY to see the Impressionist works...

Take them to MUSEE DE LA MODE DE LA VILLE DE PARIS to see fashion evolution and grand costumes from the 18th-20th centuries.

Rivariva --

One of the things that make Parisian women so chic is their haircuts. I get mine cut everytime I%26#39;m there because I never seem to have time to get it cut at home before I leave.

I choose my stylist by looking at stylists in salons, big ones like Printemps, and small neighbourhood ones, as well. When I see an operator with a really good cut that i like, I ask who did it, and get that person to cut mine.

Being able to go home with a good cut and having the answer to the obvious question be, %26quot;Thank you, I had it done in Paris%26quot;, is a great way to stretch the holiday into those first days at home.

Thanks! A great idea.

Sorry for not being very original, but the classics, such as the Eiffel Tower and the bateaux mouches, always score. Since the release of the movie, tourists have also been flocking to the Moulin Rouge; there isn%26#39;t much to see apart from the famous red wings, but it seems to content them... Do they have any particular interest apart from the ones you mention? Are they well traveled already?

|||

Sorry, when I wrote %26quot;they%26quot;, I meant the MR tourists, not your stepdaughters!

And speaking of movie, if they are into the dreaded Da you know what Code, there are plenty of DV tours to make, either home made or ready made.

Thanks Bob

My trip is coming together at last if I can just find a hotel for the cousins to stay in (who have now joined our group). All your ideas are very much appreciated.
