I am going to Paris next week with my mate and our two 17yr old sons, I want to find the crazy, zany, mad stuff!
I don%26#39;t like muesums much though anything on rock %26amp; roll, erotica, war and weapons are cool.
Unlike most of the posters on here I want to find the red light districts, where are they? Any do%26#39;s and dont%26#39;s.
We are most definatly going to the catacombs, what do you think about the sewer thing, is it worth a look?
I must admit I am not entirley looking forward to the trip as I am not one for fashon, culture or spending lots of money but I was talked into going to give my mate some company.
The boys are adimant that they do not want to go anywhere near disneyland or round endless museums, so come on dish the dirt, what is in Paris for a bunch of grumpy heathens?

We went to Napoleon%26#39;s tomb and visited a museum there which displayed souvenirs/weapons from wars. They had souvenirs during the Nazi period. This might interest you.
Red light district (metro stop Pigalle) is around the area where Moulin Rouge is...Moulin Rouge is something that might interest you and your boys too! It%26#39;s expensive though...
Are you a Jim Morrison fan? Visit Pierre LaCheise cemetery for his grave. This one is free...
Yes...Go to the Catacombs...It%26#39;s freaky!!!
If you can though, don%26#39;t miss %26quot;Louvre%26quot; museum...Everyone always has a great time there!!!
Hope this helps!!!

Let them climb the stairs of the Eiffel Tower !! That will wear them down to size....... If not the Tower itself, then Arc de Triomphe, Sacré Coeur or Notre Dame.
1.
The police-museum.
Musée de la Préfecture de la Police. 4, rue de la Montagne Ste-Geneviève, 5th arr. Displays all sorts of weapons and creepy stuff.
2.
Challenge their food-habits (No McDo or pizzas) - let them only have real French food.
3.
Cité des Sciences et de l%26#39;industrie

4.
The big flea-market north of Paris - Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen - metro line 4 to Porte de Clignancourt. Follow the road under the Peripérique (big motorway that goes around Paris) - and then it is on your left.

Baloon-ride over Paris (tied to the ground, so not risky)

8.
Take them to the dragshow at %26quot;Madame Arthur%26quot;.
http://www.madamearthur.com/
Much cheaper than Moulin Rouge - and probably sooo much more horrible and kinky that your boys would love it (AND hate it.....)
75 bis, Rue des Martyrs

Fax : 01 42 59 18 55

Take them on a paintball-terrain !

It is not far away. Somewhere between La Défense and St.Germain en Laye:
WITH BUS:
(runs Sundays and Holidays)
Grande Arche de la Défense, take nr. bus nr. 258. Get off at the stop called %26quot;La Machine%26quot;. Follow the sign %26quot;Île de la loge%26quot; and then cross the bridge (L%26#39;ecluse) to your right.
check out www.ratp.fr / Plan des lignes / Bus ( then type the number, and you will see the plan)

then go to the erotism museum (never been to) bd de clichy. when you go to pigalle be careful to NOT go in those places where some girls push you in, otherwise youll end paying 3000 euros for a bottle of bad champagne, and you wont have any choice (they can be pretty agressive there).

Rent the movie Amelie-it%26#39;s in French with English subtitles. This will give you a look at Montmartre and the erotic museum there.
|||
Wow some great ideas there, thanks. I will try to avoid the expensive champagne!
Any more suggestions greatfully recieved.
Is there a museum which has info on WW2 the French resistance etc? The French equivalent of the Imperial War Museum in London.

As to a scary story about how bad you can go astray when entering a Montmartre stripjoint - read %26quot;signothetimes%26quot;%26#39;s story in this thread. And I think that the warning shaould be taken quite seriously.

I haven%26#39;t been there myself, but %26quot;Le musée de l%26#39;Armée%26quot; at Hôtel des Invalides should be a good choice.
http://www.invalides.org/pages/menu.html
But this must be what you are looking for. It seems to be only about 15-20 kilometers outside Paris in a town called Champigny-sur-Marne, just on the other side of the Vincennes forest:

Here you can insert the adress of the museum and get train/bus information:

%26quot;Le musée de l%26#39;Armée%26quot; ....... parts are closed for renovations. The Armour museum the WWII French Resistance %26amp; CDG Museum are open and the Brand new Relief museum ( Maps) are open as well as the Tomb. You can see the pistols and the coat of Napoleon above the Tomb but that is about all from the Armee museum until it is remodeled. There are two nice gift stores and the cafe there was good.
