    The best thing you can do for yourself in Paris....is walk as much as you can! We walked from our hotel in the Latin Quarter to the Eiffel Tower and back! We mapped out a plan for going there, and a different one coming back. There is so much to be missed when you take the metro or the bus. Lucky for us, the weather was beautifu!!l

  • Fountain Wallace - Paris
    Fountain Wallace

    If you walk in Paris in Summer, you get rapidly thirsty. There are 70 fountains spread in the town to provide water to the pedestrians. They were offered to the Parisians by Sir Richard Wallace in 1872 and maintained in order by the Town. Initially, they are set up with 3 tin mugs tied by a chain to the fountain. It is for this reason they are not easy to use if you have not a bottle or a cup. The one on the picture is located in the "Flowers Market", in the Ile de la Cite. The alternative : in the department stores and some stores there is a free fountain of water.

  • when you ask a direction to someone in the street, try to write the name of the street you are looking for on a paper. Don't try to say it, because most of the time the way tourists pronounce the name of the streets is not understandable for French people. And if you have a map with you, it will be even easier to explain to you where you are and the right way to your destination. In addition, with this map people will immediately understand what you need, and they will not be suspicious (which is one the characteristic of Parisian people).

    The website below has the fascinating history of the only pedestrian bridge across the Seine. Walking across slowly and savoring the views is one of the nicest pleasures for me in Paris. Ahead is the Louvre -- behind Institut de France -- and each way wonderful views of the river. The current bridge dates from 1985.

  • Expect to do a lot of walking when in Paris. That is not to say you have to walk a lot (the metro is excellent there) but you should walk a lot. You will find something of interest or a view of something interest almost everywhere you look in Paris. The best way to take advantage of this is by walking. So, bring comfortable shoes, a daypack and go explore.

    We arrived in Paris on a public holiday. Not much was open and public buses were few and far btwn. So we decided to get our bearings by walking. Which we did. I think this is actually the best way to see Paris. You are so much closer to the people, the buildings and architecture, and dont miss interesting little things that you would definately miss had you been in a car or bus.

  • The best way to experience Paris is by walking. The city is quite large, but the touristic spots are mostly in one place. There are beautiful strolls down the Seine, and amazing streets you can only discover by walking. So put up a good pair of sneakers and start walking! You won't be disappointed.

    I never discovered Paris with this company, but according to the look on this woman's face, she must be very satisfied! There are a lot of touring companies by the way. Once from which I heard a lot of good things is Cityrama. For those who visit Disneyland, booked a hotel in the resort but want to spend one day visiting Paris too : Cityrama picks you up at Hotel New York, Newport Bay or Sequoia Lodge in the morning!

    Paris is a very walkable city if you keep in mind how big the city is! Don't plan to walk between the Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, and l'Arc de Triomphe... no matter how close they appear on the map, the total trip one-way would be about 7 kilometers. Use public transportation for the longer journeys, but walking is a must. Within the different neighborhoods, you need to walk to really get a feel for the city. A stroll down the Champs Elysees is a great experience. The area around the Eiffel Tower has several cafes and good photo opportunities of the tower. Walking along the Seine is another experience that can be savored...
