French people tried to kick me out of their club, Paris trip report

[MicroBob]

OP's location is Norway.
So I'm guessing Disney-Paris is more convenient.

I don't care. Going to Paris for Euro-Disney is like going to a strip club for the buffet.

I assume you are pretty young. However, as pointed out, there are a number of serious life errors here.

I reserved the trip before I got robusto, so I ordered the cheapest hotel I could find that was centrally located. I will not do that again. Squeezed between strip clubs and brothels, new dirty towels (seriously) every day, the same dirty sheets and blankets the whole stay, and worst (for me) the promised wifi does not work [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

He says I can't come in because my shoes are ugly. Fine. I go across the street and buy a nice pair of shoes for €400.

I think you could probably get in with shoes for less than €400. It sounds like you were on a little bit of a budget.

Two hours is not enough, though, so just as we are about to get seated for the Moulin Rouge I manage to persuade my girlfriend to leave. I tell her it sucks that the show is in french and that it lasts two and a half hour, and that dancing ladies are generally very boring stuff. I think all of this is true, and I was relieved when I didn't have to sit through it, but my girlfriend knows my agenda and I'm not feeling proud of myself as we walk out.

It was sunday. All the stores appeared to be closed except for the Louis Vuitton store. And they didn't have shoes that were significantly cheaper.

I think all of this is true, and I was relieved when I didn't have to sit through it, but my girlfriend knows my agenda and I'm not feeling proud of myself as we walk out. The final argument that tipped the scale was that if she wanted to leave I would buy her something else for the €150 the tickets cost, so that made me feel a little less like a d-bag. I still feel like one, though and I buy her some overprized roses from a guy right outside the theater.

Back at the hotel around 11:30. We are far from finished packing, and my girlfriend is very tired and I think quite bummed that she didn't get to see the show.

Wow. She sure knows how to pick a winner!

I'm sorry, I couldn't get past the first few lines:

1) you were robusto and yet you stayed in a dingy hotel??? WTF?

2) You took your GF to Paris and you went to....DISNEY WORLD??? Seriously?

Holy cow.

nice to see the french arn't just dicks to americans... i guess all foreigners get the "special" treatment.

'Oft misunderstood or just bandwagon jumpin'....I've (Florida Cracker) been to Paris twice and had a great time each trip, wasn't once treated rudely, but I also spoke a bit of French, so that helped. Amazing what a little give and take will yield!

Speaking a little French is important there. If you don't speak French, atleast don't act like they are expected to understand English.

As for OP's priorities, remember he is from Norway and there is no legal live poker. Also, I think the one outside Paris is the only Disneyland in Europe.
