Patty's General Tips on Paris by pporto
Paris is an overwhelming tourist destination. There are litteraly hundreds of museums, monuments and districts to visit. My best advice is not to cram too many activities for a short trip. TIP #1
The best way to enjoy Paris is at a leasuirely pace. Spend the early part of the day visiting one or two museums or monuments and the afternoons taking in the culture by strolling through one of the many beautiful parks in the city or shopping down the Champs Elysee. At night, visit the Moulin Rouge for a show or grab a drink in the Latin Quarters.
TIP #2
Although the metro system in Paris is great and will get you just about anywhere, if you are a first timer, I really recommend walking from place to place. It will take longer, but you will have a greater appreciation of the city and see a lot more if you walk.I miss the struggle of learning enough French to get by. I miss getting a bagguette at the local Boulangerie. I miss passing new exciting places everyday. I miss taking the metro and running to catch the last train. I miss walking by cute French men. I miss having clubs that are open til 4AM on a Wednesday night. And I miss crepes with banana and Nutella, being able to make weekend trips to other countries.
Ahhhhh....Paris!
