We are travelling from Australia and have previously visited other countries prior to to France which had amazing service and friendlyness. However 5minutes in France we found them to be rude 10minutes in and they were pushing us, 30minutes and pickpocketed. My advice when you get off the train is get back on and try a different country. Try Ireland, England or even Amsterdam. We are counting down the minutes to get out of this thieving, smelly, rude, dirty country Cheers

Ignore Rick Steves and the other clowns promoting this stuff. This pass promises jump the line and easier entry into a ton of sites. It's kinda like a useless coupon book a high school kid might sell as a fundraiser. It gives one good place or two and the rest of the sites are not that good. For instance, we used it for the Louvre. Keep in mind there will be others with better tickets or advanced appointments. At the Louvre we were placed in a separate line while the other ticketed people went in before us. And they went in and went in and went in. Not so much for skipping a line. Buy the metro tickets separately. Oh and don't let the guys at the store tell you that you'll have an extra day with the attractions pass vs the museum pass. Nope. The aquarium scanned our card and we lost a day. We spent nearly $500 and maybe used $75 worth. The value is horrible.

I booked a full day tour of Versailles with my daughter and it was just perfect. I had many questions through email prior to our outing and they were always answered in a timely manner. They were always there to help. Our morning started out with a very nice Mercedes van picking us up and taking us to Versailles to meet our wonderful guide, Anna. Anna was very knowledgeable on every aspect of Versailles. My daughter and I learned so much and had the most magnificent time with Anna. If we had done this tour alone we would have been amazed still, but doing it with a guide makes a world of difference. There were so many details and things we would have never known if we didn’t have Anna. When the day was over our driver was right there ready to take us back to our hotel. It was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this company, they were top notch and did everything with ease and class. What an incredible experience!!!

Visited this place (the Draveil site) last week to break up an overall 4 hour+ journey with the grandkids aged 5 and 7. Weather was quite sunny (but not blisteringly hot, thank God). The attractions were pretty good for kids of those ages, the little fella (1.10M + a bit) could go on just about everything without any accompanying adult. The Cons??? Well, the website seems to suggest free entry - which, strictly, is true........but you (or the kids!) must pay for a go on all the attractions. Too complicated to explain the payment structure here (you pay for 'Tozos'/tokens - each ride = so many Tozos etc) but we paid 19 Euros per kiddie for unlimited access to just about everything! Worked well. The Pros?? Well, strictly, entry IS free....so adults (who will hardly need to accompany kids on rides) pay nothing (like the bigger theme parks) and to spend 38 Euros for 2 kids to play on bouncy castles. go-carts, rides etc for a couple of hours seemed pretty good value. We had to move on to our destination - but the kids would have been very happy on the park for at least 3 hours (there's about a dozen different attractions) and we felt that it was very good value for money. The food on site is nothing to write home about - and you don't get to meet Mickey Mouse or Asterix or any of that nonsense. Just enough amusement for kids without spending loads of money - and the go-carts is recommended.....I was amazed as to how well our 5 year old coped - Lewis Hamilton/Vettel, be very afraid!!!! No good for teenagers, I suspect - but for say 5-10 year olds, well worth a visit if you are in the area. (Fix point - very near Draveil Town Centre, quite well signposted once in Draveil........finding Draveil itself is another matter!)
