I lose weight when I only have public transportation to rely on.
If you weight train, it might not be the best to go a couple of weeks
without.
You won't get the kind of aerobic exercise to train you for a marathon
but you will get enough exercise if you're used to driving everywhere.

Re: Day Use Gyms in Paris?
Last year in Italy I routinely walked 10-15 miles in a day, from
morning to post dinner...this isn't race-walking, just exploring over
the course of a day, and you'd be surprised how the miles add up. (I
took my pedometer because I was curious how much I would actually end
up walking.)

Yesterday I clocked 21 km just walking around Paris. That's 13 miles,
and I wasn't making any particular effort to rush or run up the meter.
