re: #789 McSpiff

That’s why I coughed up whatever ridiculous amount they were asking for when it came to gondola rides in Venice. Figured it was cliched for a reason. Totally worth it.

One of the most touristy things to do in Paris, is something I do recommend, especially if you are there for the first time. The Bateaux-Mouches. the sightseeing barges on the Seine.

Three hundred or so tourists at a time, a bored guide giving you a narrative in three languages, attendants selling soft drinks and candy at inflated prices… but there is nothing more beautiful then seeing Paris from the river on a boat… especially at night.
