My brother in law is going to be visiting me soon, although he can use my wifi in the house, he has some business meetings and wondered if there is any way he can get wifi coverage in Paris..I know he can in cafes etc and the hotel offers some coverage but it seems very expensive and isnt always suitable and it is necessary he has a good connection..

Hi Lolla,,,we had exactly this problem with some friends visiting recently from Germany, but there is a great new mobile wifi service, you just book the little box thingy , it gets delivered to you and you are up and running...much cheaper than other services and so convenient...even comes with a post paid envelope that they dropped off at the post box in the airport..the details are here, and its called French Connection, wish I had thought of the idea.....http://paris.angloinfo.com/af/430/paris-and-ile-de-france-wifi-hotspots-and-wireless-access.html

Hope this helps..

What a good idea - great if you are visiting Paris for a day or two....

rosalee - agreed!

I used French Connection for my business partner last month - Fab service, such a great solution to wifi when you dont live in Paris. At the top of this page if it helps anyone else.
