== Travel Tips == Paris hot air balloon... A trip down the Champs Elysees is encouraged when you visit Paris as this is the city's most famous street; you can see beautiful shops, sit and drink coffee from the many cafes or have a meal in a first class restaurant. When you visit this region of the city you will see it is a much more select area; the average tourist may find the accommodation expensive but more modest hotels can be found away from this area.

== Travel Tips == About business travel... A little business travel tip that flight attendants use when they pack is to roll up their clothes, then place them into cylinders which compresses the clothing and reduces the number of creases. Dark clothing are very useful for traveling business people as it hides stains and dirt very well, so if you get sweaty or spill a coffee on the flight it won't be too noticeable.
