Lost in Paris!!!?


I live in London, but next week I want to go to a place in paris:
OPIUM
9, rue du Cygne
75001 Paris
France

I know the best way to get there is via eurostar(train), the ploblem is I cant speak a word of french and when I get off the train in Paris I dont know how to get to my destination... Can anyone give me some adive on what to do.

I have directions for you =]

From the train station:

1. Start out going EAST on RUE DE DUNKERQUE / PLACE NAPOL脡ON III toward BOULEVARD DE DENAIN for 0.1 miles.

2. Turn RIGHT onto RUE DE SAINT-QUENTIN and follow it for 0.1 miles.

3. Turn SLIGHT LEFT onto BOULEVARD DE MAGENTA / MARCH脡 DE SAINT-QUENTIN. Continue to follow BOULEVARD DE MAGENTA for 0.2 miles.

4. Turn RIGHT onto RUE DU FAUBOURG SAINT-MARTIN and continue down it for 0.3 miles.

5. Turn RIGHT onto PORTE SAINT-MARTIN.

6. Afterwards, turn SLIGHT LEFT onto BOULEVARD SAINT-DENIS.

7. Turn RIGHT onto RUE SAINT-MARTIN and go for 0.3 miles.

8. Turn RIGHT onto RUE DE TURBIGO and drive for 0.2 miles.

9. Turn SHARP LEFT onto RUE 脡TIENNE MARCEL.

10. Stop at 9 Rue Du Cygne, Paris, 脦le-De-France 75001, France

Mind you, these are driving directions (i.e. if you rent a car)

To get there in a taxi, tell the driver:

"Je voudrais aller a 9 rue de Cygne, Ile-de-France, s'il vous plait."

(Zhuh voo-dray ah-lay uh nuhf roo duh seegn, eel duh frahnce, seel voo play)

Hand him money once you get there, get your change, and you'll be off!

You should be fine. Good luck on your trip, and hope this helps!

Ask for directions in English!! Many French people can actually speak English.

Say this phrase: Je voudrais aller 脿 - which means I would like to go to, and then say your destination. Also as Parlez-vous Englais - do you speak english. That should help a little.
