  • Make sure you check your bill before paying at a restaurant, some waiters try to 'add' some extra charges...You can't complain once you've paid!!!

  • Hey! I'm not saying that the Louvre is a tourist trap, but you double check opening days of museums to plan your sightseeing accordingly & avoid getting caught as I did...
    We had planned to visit the Louvre on Sunday, but unfortunately it was closed. We went back on Mon & we couldn't even get close to the piramyd, since there were thousands of people everywhere --The result being I visited Paris & did not make it to the Louvre...Good change to go back...

    At Least Do This: Check Opening Days & don't assume that buildings, museums & the like will be open at any time & day.
    Alternative: There are plenty of things to do in Paris, so I´m sure you´re gonna find another attraction.

     I really enjoyed your Paris page, Lorena. I remember feeling the same as you when we saw some of the sites for the first time. Thanks for sharing. Have a happy birthday and enjoy your travels... Tom

     Don't worry, you didn't miss a thing by not visiting the lourve. The queues at the pyramid, in front of mona lisa, etc was enough to drive me crazy..
