Thought that this information was very helpful, Will be sure to say ” Bonjour” before every encounter. Nice to see that a fellow Raleigh/Durham resident has so much Parisian information,

I visited Paris a couple of times and I must say, this city never gets boring. You have some great tips and also so handy to prepare people for the ‘ugly’ side. I’ve never been pickpocketed in Paris, but I heard many stories of people who had been, sadly.

And your recommendations regarding Paris are so true. My favorite is Versailles, the gardens are beautiful. And walking on Montmartre seeing the old houses. This is Paris for me. And of course, the macaroons.

I’ve been to Paris three times now and found myself nodding along to several of your points. I always feel anxious about ordering food and how the rules seem to vary by location, so I am especially grateful for your tips on that point. Checking out the market etiquette guide now, and I will definitely have to come back to some of your friends’ websites as well!

Great post, thank you for all of the super helpful tips! I’ll be visiting Paris for the first time (other than the magical Disneyland) next year in 2020. I’m honestly so excited. I can’t wait to just sit in cafes and simply watch the world go by. Of course, I am also excited to see the Effiel Tower but just from afar, going up doesn’t really bother me. I do have a question in relation to day bags! What kind of ‘day bag’ do you recommend as I noted you recommend NOT using a backpack?

As a fellow travel blogger, I often have camera equipment in my possession for all of our trips – hence us usually using a backpack, which we always fix shut . with a padlock, perhaps this would be okay even in Paris?

Thanks! Alicia

And what better place to enjoy it than in the city of love? I went to Paris when I was 13 but I think it’s time to return soon! 🙂
