    • Check your bill!!! Make sure that you know in advance what you need to pay.

    During our 2-day stay in Paris, 4 times our bill was inaccurate. This made us feel like they were doing it on purpose. Is it because we were tourists or because we were a bigger group, I don't know, but I no longer trust the Parisians.

    What happened?
    Every time, there was one item that was not correct. E.g. we ordered soup of the day, and they charged us fish soup, 1 EUR more, we ordered sandwich with cheese and were charged sandwich with tunna, 1,5 EUR more, steak and were charged another steak that, of course, costed more. Do you see the trick? Of course, every time, they apologized and told us it was a misunderstanding. After 4 times I no longer believed it. :-(

    Please note that I only took a pic of this restaurant and did not go inside. They are probably not involved.

     Glad you had such good times in Paris. I've never taken the Thalys train, but starting in December 2007 there will be a TGV line between Frankfurt and Paris.    		AssianGoddess Mon Mar 21, 2005 12:00 UTC
     Helga, it is a delight to visit this romantic city through your page. Great tips, awesome pics. That new digital camera was definitely worth it. Hello from Manila.
