Paris Essentials =====
Top 10 Attractions =====
Culture Tips =====
▪ Dress well. French are very particular about
their own dressing sense and tend to notice people from top
to bottom.
▪ When entering or
leaving a shop wish the staff. A simple bonjour,
monsieur/madame and au revoir, merci are considered polite.
▪ French are formal
people and do not like to have their privacy invaded.
Maintaining certain distance is advisable.
▪ Eating on the go is
not really appreciated by the French.
▪ Abstaining from being
too loud is a good idea.
Do's and Don't's =====
Do's
▪ Do plan a holiday with enough time to just
lounge about in a road side cafe or bar to enjoy and soak in
your surroundings.
▪ Do travel by Metro. Its the cheapest and best.
▪ Do always greet people in French.
▪ Do choose less touristy, slightly distant
arrondissements. They can have cool clubs, restaurants,
quaint parks and cemeteries.
▪ Do carry your student ID card: One can get huge
discounts on student IDs.
▪ Do have access to certain apps to guide you on
eating joints, shopping places etc.
Don't's
▪ Don't carry large bills as few shops have
change.
▪ Don't use taxies. They are expensive and
traffic can also lead to spending unnecessary time on the
roads.
▪ Don't talk to fishy looking strangers. They may
be out to fleece you.
▪ Don't be extra sensitive to cold behaviour if
exhibited by locals. Smile and move on.
