]]> People will tell you that Paris, France, is the ultimate romantic getaway, and go on about its fantastic architecture, captivating culture, and rich history. However, there are some important things about Paris no one tells you about.

Monday is a Rest Day

Saturday and Sunday are usually the rest days in all major European cities. However, in Paris, most businesses are closed or work short hours on Mondays. This doesn’t include museums and famous tourist attractions.

Parisians Are Not Rude

French people, especially Parisians, have a reputation for being rude. However, that is not actually the case. They are simply more direct and have less tolerance towards inappropriate behavior. If you are respectful towards their city and them, Parisians will treat you with respect as well.

Smoking Isn’t Welcomed Anymore

Paris was considered a smoking-friendly city for a long time, but that is not the case anymore. All restaurants, bars, and cafes have a strict no-smoking policy unless they have outside seating. Also, there are more than 50 parks, gardens, and public squares around the city where smoking is also forbidden.

Food is Really Expensive

Paris has some of the best restaurants in the world. However, in order to experience them, you will need to be ready to spend a lot of money. The food, especially the one served in popular restaurants, is notoriously expensive and will make you think twice about dining out.

]]> Paris, France, is one of the most visited places in the world. As such, the city has become swarmed with scammers who are looking for ways to trick tourists out of their money. If you want to avoid becoming their victim, check out some of the common tourist scams you might encounter in Paris.

Gift Scams

Gift scams are common in major European cities, so Paris is no different. They usually involve a scammer approaching you and giving you a “gift” in the form of a friendship bracelet or a flower. But it is not a gift. As soon as you accept it, they will start demanding money for it and make a scene in order to make you uncomfortable if you refuse.

Charity Petitions

You will be approached by a person holding a clipboard. They will say they are collecting petition signatures for some random cause and ask you to sign it. Usually, some false heartbreaking story follows before you are asked to make a donation. If you end up donating money, it will most likely end up in scammers pockets.

Gold Ring

This scam has been on the rise in Paris in recent years. The scammer will “notice” a gold ring or another valuable-looking piece of jewelry on the ground. They will pick it up and ask if you’ve dropped it. When you say no, they will examine it further and then “conclude” it is quite valuable. The scammer will then try to sell you the item, claiming that it is worth much more than you are paying for it. But in reality, it is a worthless piece of metal.

]]> Often referred to as the fashion capital of the world, Paris has long been celebrated as a hub of style and sartorial elegance. Ateliers and luxury boutiques line the streets, and designers from around the globe flock to the city for its exclusive and extravagant bi-annual fashion weeks. For those on a budget or in search of something a bit more unique, however, Paris is also home to a wide variety of thrift shops with a treasure trove of pieces just waiting to be discovered. If you’re a fashion enthusiast considering a trip to the City of Lights, here are a few shops worth checking out.

FREE’P’STAR

Tucked away in the heart of the city’s Marais district, FREE’P’STAR is a popular vintage shop with a quirky twist. Its €1 bargain bins and €5 racks are full of some truly incredible finds, attracting shoppers from near and far in search of stylish clothing at an affordable price. The selection is quite varied but tends to include a lot of outerwear, graphic tees, and colorful printed pieces.

Guérisol

Guérisol is a go-to spot in Paris’ eclectic Belleville neighborhood for shoppers seeking unique second-hand fashion on a budget. While not quite as popular as FREE’P’STAR, the selection at Guérisol is just as impressive, ranging from everyday basics to statement accessories for both men and women.

Thanx God I’m a V.I.P.

If higher-end pieces are what you’re after, check out this shop in the city’s 7th arrondissement. The prices are somewhat higher than the other shops we’ve mentioned, but the selection consists of well-made pieces and designer labels that are likely to stand the test of time. The shop itself is also impressively organized, making it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for.

]]> Paris, the enchanting City of Lights, is a dream destination for many travelers. From iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower to world-class museums like the Louvre, Paris has so much to offer. However, navigating the city can be overwhelming, and falling into common tourist traps can waste precious time. In this article, we’ll reveal the time-wasting tourist mistakes to avoid in Paris, ensuring you make the most of your visit and create unforgettable memories.

Waiting in Long Lines

Parisian attractions are known for their long queues, but you can save time by planning ahead. Purchase skip-the-line tickets or consider getting a Paris Museum Pass, which grants you access to multiple attractions without waiting. Arriving early or visiting during less crowded times can also help you beat the crowds and enjoy a more leisurely experience.

Over-Indulging in Cafés and Restaurants

While Paris is famous for its culinary delights, spending excessive time dining can cut into your sightseeing opportunities. Opt for quick bites at local bakeries (boulangeries) or grab a sandwich from a street vendor. Picnics in parks, such as Luxembourg Gardens or along the Seine River, offer a delightful experience while saving time and money.

Ignoring Off-the-Beaten-Path Neighborhoods

Paris is more than just the famous tourist spots. Don’t limit yourself to the well-trodden paths; explore the lesser-known neighborhoods for an authentic Parisian experience. Head to the artistic enclave of Montmartre, the bohemian Le Marais district, or the charming Canal Saint-Martin area. These hidden gems offer unique attractions, local shops, and vibrant street art.

Overloading Your Itinerary

Paris has an abundance of attractions, but trying to see them all in a short time can leave you exhausted. Prioritize the must-see landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the Louvre. Allow yourself time to wander the streets, sit in a café, or explore local markets. Embrace the slower pace and soak up the Parisian ambiance.

Focusing Solely on Tourist Hotspots

Paris is a city of hidden treasures. Don’t limit your exploration to the well-known tourist attractions. Discover charming gardens like Parc des Buttes-Chaumont or hidden courtyards known as “passages” in the 2nd arrondissement. Explore local markets like Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen or the foodie haven of Rue Montorgueil for an authentic Parisian experience.

]]> Paris, France is one of the most visited cities in the world, with more than 15 million people choosing it as their travel destination each year. This doesn’t only mean that the city can get overcrowded at times but also that you’ll likely experience your fair share of tourist traps while visiting. Continue reading to find out the most common ones and how to avoid them.

Restaurants and Bars Near Major Touristic Attractions

Having a meal or a drink near the Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, or Arc de Triomphe surely sounds tempting. However, you might want to resist this temptation and stick to sightseeing.

Visiting most of these establishments will not only make a big dent in your budget, but the service and the quality of the food will most likely be sub-par, according to locals. Instead, you’re better off saving your money and hitting some authentic restaurants and bars away from the touristic attractions where you’ll get a much more enjoyable experience.

Top of Eiffel Tower

The top of the Eiffel Tower is almost unanimously labeled as one of the biggest tourist traps in Paris. And for a good reason.

Checking out the Eiffel Tower itself is a one-of-a-kind experience. However, you have no business entering the tower itself or going to the top, no matter how hard the tour sellers try to convince you. The ticket prices are high while you’ll also have to wait hours in line to get there. Once you’re on top, you only have a great view working out for you. And, according to locals, you can get the same if you visit Maine-Montparnasse Tower.

Cruises and Bus Tours

We understand that you want to have the best time when visiting Paris. But cruises on the Seine and bus tours won’t actually give you that. They are not only notoriously expensive but also come with noisy tourists, frequent stops, and potential sunstroke.

Instead, you are better off devising your own tour and hitting the city on foot, by bicycle, or electric scooter. You experience much less hassle while getting a much better feel of Paris.
