We will be staying at Marriott's Village d'Ile de France for 2 weeks Oct32-Nov 7. We will want to go into Paris daily and side day trips to sites outside of Paris. What do you think would be most economical? Should we purchase through you. Is it possible to talk by phone with a travel councelor? I have Rick Steves Paris 2011 book.
As someone else pointed out to you, this site is for questions to other experienced travelers and is NOT monitored regularly by Steves' staff. (Read posting guidelines) If you want help from one of Steves' staff, do the following - Go the the top, far left, and click on the little blue, Home, then select, Plan Your Trip with our Expert Consultants at the bottom of the second column, and then scroll down to - Our travel Center in Edmonds. For someone leaving in 10 days, you seem to have a lot of loose ends.
