Annual Paris Antiques Fair, Versailles Fountains Show

The annual very large Paris Antiques and Art Fair will be 'on' at the Palais de Congres from September 24 through October 3. If this show is beyond your budget, dreams are of course, complimentary.

Another lovely fall activity is a trip out to the Chateau of Versailles. The noted "Grands Eaux Musicales" fountains/music shows remain 'on' on Saturdays and Sundays through October 30. There is an extra admission for these well worth the time and money fountain shows.

Contemporary Spin on 18th Century Fashion at Versailles

Versailles in summer. Fountain shows and sound and light shows. Check out this contemporary fashion exhibition. "Le XVIIIe AU Gout du Jour" is shown in the lovely Petit Trianon chateau. Leading international designers play with their fashion fantasies of the 18th century era in a show of 50 costumes & accessories. Yet another reason to visit Versailles.

Bicycling in and around Paris

Summer in Paris.  Walking and bicycling around town are even more appealing than usual.  If you want to go it alone without a guide, rent one of those sleek grey Velibs that are positioned in rental pods all over Paris.  You don't even have to return your bike to the same place you rented it.

If you prefer a guided small group bicycle tour in Paris, or a wonderful all day tour to Versailles or Giverny, cut and paste these links into your browser and book for a memorable in Paris tour or a day to two of France's top destinations near Paris!  By the way, for Monet's Garden and Versailles you take the train to the nearby station and then bicycle. Picnic lunches are part of the full day tours. Lovely all in all.
