LBAT-PARIS 2011 LBAT-PARIS 2011 Appareils electroniques – Telephones portables et appareils photos Cell phone options Public phones. Available at tobacco shops, post offices, and France Télécom stores, a real France Telecom card or télécarte is necessary for nearly all public telephones. You'll notice that on the front/left side, they have a microchip or puce that keeps track of the number of units left after each telephone call. Each card has either 50 or 120 unités( call credits that you can watch count down as you make the call) and is sold for either 7.50 or 15. The télécarte will allow you to make calls within France easily and at a reasonable rate, and you can call home at a rate that, while not good, is at least discernable. These fast and easy cards are particularly useful when you're only calling home to ask that someone call you back. To make an international call from France, you first dial 00, then the country code, then the number you are calling. For the U.S., you will dial something like 001xxx-xxx-xxxx Digital cameras

Merci… Knowing that lunch is not served at the MIJE-Fourcy restaurant and that you may not always be 100% satisfied with the food for breakfast and/or dinner (be it qualitatively or quantitatively), here are some money-saving solutions :food 1) Buy your preferred foods/snacks in bulk at the nearby supermarkets (G20, Franprix …hours of operation: 9am to 9pm). For breakfast, you may want to buy pastries, jam, Nutella. For lunch, you may want to prepare sandwiches made from scratch (with baguettes, camembert, brie, tomatoes, fruits etc..) and/or buy packaged mixed salads and/or yogurts.G20 Franprix 2) Buy fresh (organic) produce, veggies and so much more at the marché en plein air in Place Baudoyer Wed 3-8:30pm + Saturday morning 7:30am -3pmmarché en plein air Place Baudoyer 3) Vegetarians and/or and non-vegetarian alike will find excellent stand food at the Jewish and Libanese restaurants.
