Thanks for some great tips. First Paris trip is coming up in the spring.
Such great Tips! Thank you! I didn't know about the ATM one. Also, I heard about getting a Wise card and paying for everything with this as well as the WeVat app to claim your VAT refunds.
re tipping – 15% service charge is included in the final bill – this is by law. If you are asked for a tip – you are being conned. Of course you can "round up" the bill, or leave a couple/few Euros, but tipping 15/20% is not necessary.
Eurostar, good price??!!😮 You have no idea what you're talking sbout.
For taxis I recommend getting the G7 app. It works just like Uber but with official taxis. You pay through the app not directly with the driver. One advantage of taxis over Uber is that they can use the bus lane so they get you there slightly quicker. However, I still prefer the métro.
Thank you a lot for the great tips! I'm planning to be there during solstice (longest day of the year), do you confirm that the first Eiffel Tower sparkle is at 11pm?
Can u also purchase on the RATP app?
Not overpacking the itinerary is a great tip. Our best experiences in Paris (or any vacation) were always just wandering, slowing down, and stumbling across hidden gems.
I thought was winter time
Great video about Paris.
The little girl is so cute ! And the lady who is entertaining seems to be so nice and well prepared !
Just a few comments from a french (born and raised) viewer :
First be aware that Versailles is very far from Paris and you gonna have to dedicate a whole day to your excursion to Versailles if you want to see that wonderfull palace and of course the gardens.
Second : the Eiffel Tower is visible from almost anywhere in Paris and if what you want is just a picture you have some great spots (like the one pointed on that vidéo) but the simplest is Trocadero. But of you go right beneath it, it is gonna be an interesting trip you do not climb it.
Third : be carreful with wine in "restaurants" : it's gonna be expensive and not that good. Drink water (free, like bread, thanks to Napoleon we say in France) and save your money for something else (the cliché "i drink wine in paris" is to my mind outdated ; if you want to drink great wine come in burgundy (where i leave) and you won't be disapointed ; in Paris it is just gonna be expensive but average ; but maybe i'm not objective : when i go to italy, any of the pizza i eat is better than the best i can find in France ; so maybe for an american, any wine he can taste in France is better than the one he would find in his own country…)
Paris is a very walkable city if your trip is well prepared ; so just plan well your visits, don't be too ambitious (like " i am gonna go to the louvre and musée d'orsay and Quartier Latin to the Pantheon then to Invalides and finish with the eiffel tower" in the same day) ; of course everything is not "that far" from one to another but your legs (and mind) are gonna suffer !
But enjoy that great city that is Paris and be welcome ; most of the french citizens love tourists because we are proud of our country and our lifestyle !
If I may, you did not mention a convenient piece of information for Navigo card holder : accessing major Parisian train stations pay toilets, usually with on-site cleaning staff, is free of charge ; but only if you show your card, otherwise, you will have to pay like regular travelers.
how is the weather in january? I´m going to Paris on the last week of january and i don´t know if it´s going to be rainy or just cloudy or sunny. I know it´s cold in there, but I actually don´t know if it rains a lot or the sky is just clear.
This was a great video… I'm new to your channel, but I love that you're obviously parents, but you are still having adventures and giving tips that aren't just parent focused
