Take a good coat. Coldest goddang place on our schedule.
Stay in your nice warm hotel room if you get the Hilton at the airport. The walk to the bus station is about 500 yards away and your nuts will freeze together during the winter months. During the warmer months, catch the Lion's Roar (actually some French name that sounds something like that) bus, down to the Metro station (that little piece of paper gets you a free train ride...don't toss it like I did the first 4 times, stick it in the turnstile). I forget which stop we got off on...think it was the orange route which comes close to the Notredame (another french word) building. Puts you real close to the street that parallels the water. Several decent places to eat...try the italian place.
Oh yeah...don't bother asking the locals for directions in English. They will act like they don't habla de englis and walk away quickly as though you smell like a...a....a...oh yeah, a frenchman.
