Not at all. If you leave from Tokyo on 07/23 from noon or early, you will 
arrive on Paris on the same day ! (around 20h~21h or early), but from Paris 
to Tokyo, you're correct.
 
I phoned to "Voyageurs au Japon", the travel agency in Paris which I go each 
time that I want to buy a plane ticket for Tokyo. Yes : they can make plane 
ticket for Japanese people who leave from Tokyo, but for them, they can have 
a choice of 3 company only ; the more expensive (Japan Airlines, ANA and Air 
France). There's an agency in Tokyo who have link with "Voyageurs au Japon" : 
"France Carrefour" [(03) 3505 5321)]. But I assumed it will be expensive 
(around 180 000 Yens for a round trip)
 
So, I suggest you to find an agency who purpose cheap price. It must exist... 
(^_^)

Oh ! (O_O) You like football ?! Since "LaLalu" is ended and, except "Cutie 
Pai", there's not many events, you go to football stadium...  Do you like 
football because the Japan national team perfromance (since the last World 
Cup) ?
 

When I called you, I was on the streets of Amiens. 3 minutes after finished 
to call you, I met my father. I explain to him about my Germany's travel, 
about the rent car : He could be ready to loan me one of his 2 cars !!! But 
before, he must told that to my mother...
 
I had information for renting a car : it's 110 Euros for the week-end. With 
that, I'll have 750km. After that , it will cost 
 
 deposit coins...  by credit card ONLY.   ...and I don't have that...  Must 
looking an other agency... (;_;)

Exactly, I just used the www.usagi.org, and it's perfect. I must changed the 
link's adress to your Website on my homepage...
 

Tomorrow, I'll go to Paris for a major convention : Japan Expo 2003
