Taxi!

Anyone have an idea of how much a Paris taxi would charge from Paris Nord station to the Eiffel Tower area??  Even a rough estimate would be helpful.   I've looked online and haven't been able to find a sample fare for a similar journey.

We avoided taxis, but took the Metro everywhere.  They were REALLY good.  Everytime I thought it'd take 30 minutes to get somewhere, we would be there in 10.  Really recommend the Metro.  Cheaper and probably faster.  Best of luck though!

I second that - definitely take the Metro.

i don't know that we ever took a taxi in paris...




wait, once after the moulin rougue....so i don't remember.   

I'd imagine it'd only be about 20 euros or so, but I could be wrong. And I'd recommend the metro too, it's as easy as pie. Plus, Paris taxis are nuts! You'll know what I mean when they drive you around the Arc de Triumphe. I nearly wet myself!   

I plan on the Metro the entire time we're there, EXCEPT on arrival late'ish (is that a word?) at night. There are 4 of us with a number of bags and I thought a taxi to the hotel would be a better way to go than dealing with luggage on the metro.  I was hoping it'd be under E20, otherwise we are gonna have to just trekk along.

Yeah.. I've heard about the Arc d'Triomphe (sp?) and how it's suicide for pedestrians... Can hardly wait 

Have you ever played the game, Frogger?  That's what it felt like...and I was the frog trying to get across the road!

I agree with the frogger thing.   

Hahah.. ever watch Seinfeld? there's an episode with Geoge like that
