This is my flashpack trip to paris - france with my husband. We took return trip flight by qatar airlines because it has the cheapest price during christmas holiday which is peak time for travelling. We took plane from jakarta and transit at Doha. And the plane from doha to paris using A380 plane which are very convenience and high technology with a wifi on it so u can still do browse or social media on plane, love it!.
We arrive at terminal 1 charles degoulle airport in france and we took airpot transfer to terminal 3 to took mrt to garde du nord to reach our hotel. It cost €9,45 per person for single journey to any of paris station.
Here is the famous international garde du nord station.
And here is our hotel called new hotel.
It is a 2 star hotel with a very friendly receptionist that speak english fluently. Near hotel has lots of halal food (turkish restaurant) for kebab u can get it at €8 hot tea €1.5 and poulete at €6,5 taste are good but still need to add more spicy so i always bring my chilli sauce everywhere (so..indonesian)
Poulete
For second day travel in paris we took L'open tour hop on hop off bus (i book it from viator.com). I think this is the safest way to trip in paris due to its high criminality (pickpocket everywhere) and we didn't bring much money to tourist spot and we put our money inside our jacket. Lots of people get picked pocket in eiffle tower. Becareful of gipsy and never interact with local stranger or gipsy people. Only ask help from asian tourist if u want to took pic. That's the tips to avoid the pickpocket.

L'open tour has 50 stops over paris and u can simply stop or get into anywhere u want. The bus always come every 15-30 minutes. But remember the last bus is 6.30 pm means u have to stop ur trip at 5 so u can go back home using the bus. Other wise u have to took mrt or public bus. l'open tour bus cost €32 for daily or € for 2 days pass.
We went to madeline - louvre - concorde - notre dame - champ ellyse - eiffel. This is our pic there... 💜💜

3rd day we stay at ibis style garde du nord it is close to new hotel but it facing garde du nord station. Room are more comfortable and modern than new hotel but the receptionist is average not as friendly as new hotel guy. Lots of restaurant (halal and non halal) next to hotel.
We went to lafayette for window shopping and gosh.. Lots of people shopping there, lv and gucci bag are cheaper here than Jakarta and also longchamp but us brand are priced the same as in jakarta. So if u wanna buy things here it's better u buy europe or france brand. The mall itself looks pretty with christmas ornament.
We bought unlimited pass for mrt and bus in gare du nord station, it cost €6,7 per person/day. We took bus no.42 (the same bus we took to get to lafayette) to go back to gare du nord. The bus stop stand right in front of lafayette you just need to walk around 3 min.
4th day we took public bus to go back to eiffel to try our luck to get in to eiffel tower since last time the queu is horrible. We took bus 42 from gare du nord and stop at tour eiffel and walk to eiffel tower. Finally we get into eiffel tower but i stop at level 1 because the weather is bad, it's -4°c and heavy wind. So freezy and i decide to get back to ground. Best time for eiffel sighseeing is during spring where the weather is not too hot and not too cold. After that we decide to get back to hotel because of the cold. And at night we go took bus no.54 to moulin rouge.

Last day in paris and we have not much time because our flight is at 3pm and we have to check in around 1pm. So after breakfast we packed our bags and prepare to go home. We buy airport train ticket that cost €9,4. The train stop at terminal 3 since our flight in terminal 1, we took tgva train from terminal 3 to terminal 1. Too bad we have no time to took pic at grand palais. Well.. Hope one day we will have opportunity to took pic there around spring time.
Here are facilities in charles de gaulle airport besides free wifi.
