Travel Advice – Paris France

Paris is one among my favorite cities to go to… no less than a pair occasions a 12 months.

Eiffel Tower
Go early to try to beat the queue or simply have a look at it from afar… Watch out for the rip-off artists. A lot of them about. Nobody desires to be “your pal and offer you a bracelet; the petition they need you to signal is a rip-off…
The perfect views of the tower are from the Trocadero.

The Catacombs
Would not put it on my checklist, however chacun a son goût! 🤣

Louvre Museum (do not know if we’ll truly go in, however we need to see the glass pyramid for positive)
Go in! Go in! Go in!
Particularly Fridays after they have late closing (I feel 9pm) Far fewer crowds. The Mona Lisa is actually very, meh. However that assortment as a complete is simply stupendous.
You would not have to see every thing, however my god, simply go!

Notre-Dame
Coated in scaffolding. It ain’t opening for fairly a while…

Arc de Triomphe
Good view from the highest. I would advocate it if nothing else involves thoughts.

Moulin Rogue
Yeah. No.
It’s vacationer lure central.

I would not miss:

Strolling about… simply stroll about and benefit from the metropolis.
The parks — Tuilleries or Luxembourg are nice. Critically, simply sit and eat an ice cream or a bag of roasted chestnuts (in autumn/winter) and watch Parisians go about their enterprise.

Musee d’Orsay
nineteenth Centurt artwork…

Versailles.
A day journey. Unmissable

Consuming:
May be hit or miss.
My private favourites are:

My all time favourites La Regalade and La Mère Agitée have each shut up store perpetually.
They had been all you might ever want. Only a disgrace Covid did for them each.
Nevertheless! There are nonetheless —

Les Papilles

L’Ami Jean

If the climate is nice, purchase some charcuterie and fromage and go sit in a park.

Attempt to communicate some French — not as a result of les Parisiens cannot communicate English, however you genuinely get much better assist and repair simply by making the try.
Don’t assume by simply talking Loudly in English you’ll make issues simpler. 🤣

100% Agree. You don’t go to France for the espresso.

👍 Insanity to try to drive!

Edit:
I will add a couple of issues as they arrive to me.
