Love Paris, no matter what!
April 19, 2024
Love Paris, no matter what!! I find more French people in all walks of life speak English more and friendlier. Only problem is Taxi. Drivers were rough, not courteous and non speaking English. I stopped using after couple of times and started to call Uber, which was a great surprise!! They were efficient, reliable, friendly, professional and cheaper!! I am so happy to know Uber is freely accessible in Paris. Paris is my second home that I cannot possibly write all the charms here but it is always beautiful and exciting. Visited pharmacies, art supply shop, Monoprix, Samaritane, Lafayette. Found and bought many skincare products and out of this world cookies and chestnuts paste at Monoprix. I can see why all my friends in other EU countries look up Paris and yarning to visit. Paris is the city of beauty, excitement and excellence above all the other cities.
Paris is a phenomenal city.
April 19, 2024
Paris is a phenomenal city. Beautiful architecture, plenty of green spaces, and so many places to eat with a wide variety of options. There's really expensive food right down to affordable options and some times the best food is found off the beaten path. We found a patteserie next to a fish shop just off Wagram that was incredible. Generally the closer you are to a major tourist attraction, then the more expensive it'll be. Especially the eiffel tower. If you are a tea drinker like my wife and I are, don't expect to get a good cup of tea everywhere. We were flat out refused tea with our breakfast one morning in a brasserie 😂. They also frown upon decaf coffee 🤷♂️. We had planned to buy travel passes when we got to Paris, but we didn't bother, we just casually strolled around taking in the sights, sounds and smells. We stayed about 30 minites walk from the Eiffel tower and L'arc de Triomphe/Champs Ellysees was 15 minutes. Don't expect cyclists to stop at red lights apparently they don't apply to them. If you plan to see everything you can in a short space of time then I would advise travel passes. Lots of people smoke outside bars, bistros and cafes, so if you are offended by the smell, eat inside. Taxi fares are set from and to the airport, check these at the airport and ask your driver on the way back too, or some will take advantage. We asked one outside the hotel and he gave us an inflated price, the one we actually got was spot on. There's loads of history to learn about too, we'll discover more of that next time. Paris is not a city in a hurry, relax and unwind in it's beauty.
Beautiful city with many historic sights.

Beautiful city with many historic sights. Great choice of restaurants and shopping. A fantastic choice for a city break. The sights are slightly spoiled by having to be on guard against the full range of scams operating in these areas. The Metro system is comprehensive and reasonably priced allowing easy travel. I would definitely go again. It is not a cheap city, but very few cities are. Book visits in advance and you will circumnavigate some of the queues. Be aware of free entry to some areas of the sights such as the Eiffel Tower and Arc De Triomphe, you don’t have to pay to get close to these places.
Pickpockets where you least expect them.
April 19, 2024
Pickpockets where you least expect them. Make a list of your essential attractions and fit it in wth metro or bus. I found I couldn’t achieve all that I wanted to do in a day. Guided walking tours are great- you see the real city and its history. Try different food or aperitif. Consider the Tour Montparnasse for a birdseye view of Paris. It’s more manageable and the queues are less. The Louvres website is best to make a booking; make sure you start as early as possible as you may be there ALL DAY. Wear layers, take a raincoat and umbrella. 4 weathers possible in one day in Spring.

A big big city with lots of great and beautiful things and some ugly and bad things. Choice of vegan food is fairly limited - even fast food chains which have vegan food in our country (and globally) did not have it in Paris. Favourite places: Eiffel tower, Louvre, Seine, Versailles, Arc de Triomphe, Champs D'Elysees. Ate in rented flat, vegan fast foods and Thai/Vietnamese restaurant. Avoid tourist traps - they are everywhere and they are very expensive!

The city is very pretty but the long queues everywhere and the high prices made it a bit difficult to enjoy it to the fullest. For me personally Paris is best to go to some museums about art (Louvre mostly for its art and very specific statues) and some wine and bites in the evening.
