if there are 1000000 things to see and do in paris, going to disneyland would be in my last options... but its just a matter of taste
I mean, you are in europe, the old europe, why going to an american invention (nice one of course) while you are here?
again its only my opinion

isn't eurodisney a lot smaller than it's counterparts in the us?
you should do what you can't do at home!
paris has a lot to offer

thats a good example
or how german or english people when they come to canary islands on vacation they go to the english or german clubs, were they eat english or german food, watch english or german tv... then, why didnt just they stay in german or england for holidays?
imo, when I visit another culture, the best I can do is to know that culture... to have a totally diferent experience.
anyway sometimes its nice to do things you would do at home... but just as an exception not like everyday doing things that oyu could do in your country

man, it's not everyday I can go to Disneyland... Florida and California are probably just as far away from where I live as Paris is... I've always liked Disney, so I figured this would be fun... and I'll still get to see the Eiffel Tower and some of the other main things to see in Paris... and it's only a weekend anyways... it's not like I'm going to learn the culture inside out ...

mabey people go to other countrys just for one thing, like the beaches or the landmarks, and want everything else to be like at home, having the best of both worlds....

and the thing is, this is only a weekend trip... I've been living in the netherlands for the last month and a half, and I have dived into the culture, and tried to experience different things... I figured a nice day in Disney would be fun... but of course I want to see as much of the city as I can... my roommate and his girlfriend are going to Paris in December, and they're spending two days in Disney... I only have one day, and the rest is for seeing the city!

I've been reading a book about the french culture that a man here at work lent me, and I must say it sounds cool... I'd love to really spend some serious time in Paris, and the country, and really experience the culture... but this is only a weekend, so you know...

from canada? and you're going to see eurodisney in paris? It's like me going to new york eat a donut and go home right away, (I'm from europe) spend your time on some serious culture dude! go see the centre pompidou, the louvre, the grave yard where JIM Morrison is still lying (pere la chaisse it's called i think), but don't go to eurodisney, i've been there and it really really sucks. Unless you want to have a signature of mickey or minnie off course

exactly. In no particular order off the top of my head:
Montmatre La Tour Eiffel Les Invalides LE fucking Louvre Le Musee Picasso Le Centre Pompidou Le Musee d'Orsay Notre Damme Le Musee Rodin La Cimetiere du Pere-Lachaise Le Sacre Coeur L'Arc de Triomphe Les Catacombes Le Marais Le Pantheon Les Jardin de luxembourg La Conciergerie Cluny Le Marmottan Le Musee Jacquemart-Andre Le Petit Palais La Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume La Seine Le Jardin des plantes (ok I'll stop)
and sooooo much more. So many little museums and attractions hiden away like the Zadkine museum near Luxembourg (free!) soo many exhibitions.
You could get a train out to the yvelines and see Versailles.
Your going to one (if not THE) most culturally rich regions on the planet and what's the priority? EuroDisney. Jeez. Come on! It's like the US Disneyland except smaller and with Euros!

not to mention that Paris is great for film lovers. You can see loads of old films that you would otherwise never see on the big screen. Get yourself a copy of Pariscope or the officiel des spectacles (both online too) and see what's on

sorry I don't mean to critisize but FOR FUCK'S SAKE! I've lived here from the age of 9 (with the odd break to study in the UK) and I've probably done 1% of what Paris has to offer (and believe me I've done a lot)
