Don't expect the French to open up and speak English. Even if you're not fluent in French, give it a shot. They'll appreciate your efforts.

If you are carrying cash to France, do not bring $100. bills. You can only cash them in the bureau de changes & they are few & far between. NO banks will cash them, not even the Bank of France! This is a rediculous policy that was a real inconvenience the last time I was there. What really gauls me is that this is not mentioned in any of the travel info. Leave a Comment

as in israel,france has autonomous territories,where immigrants from africa and north africa have settlements ;do not go to theses territories,because the french police is not allowed to go there;if you have trouble,nobody will come to help you

France, especially Paris, is place full of thieves. Personally I wasn't a victim of a robbery but I saw robbers in action. Keep an eye on your hand bags, cameras, mobile phones and wallets.

First of all,I want to say that I adore France and Icould bear everything there,but...beware of going in Bretagne during August time without having booked any accomodation!
Every little hole is 'au complet',so the only solution is the hotel 1000 stars... Years ago I went to the Mont Saint-Michel,the most beatiful and charming paeninsula I had ever seen ,without any program.It was August and with my great surprise I realised that the hole region there was pulsing with an incredible multitude of people from everywhere.No chance to find a place to stay for the night.Just for the records,I made 35 calls to hotels,motels,b&b,guest rooms,pension and whatever offered a bed.Finally,after two and a half hours of frenetic search,when I was already in complete deperation ,a good French farmer shared my 'pain' and offered me a place inhis barn.What a relief ! The next day I had the most luxurious breakfast in country style with the family.
So, be careful of booking early in summer time,because good farmers are few...

Do not photograph a Gendarm without first asking their permission. They get very suspicious and have far broader powers than American police. Leave a Comment

Night clubs are very expensive. It is also very hard to get casual work in France. Leave a Comment
