Luggage And Bags: My only tip is, if you know you're going to have to cross Paris by Metro and you have to change trains, try to take a shoulder bag or rucksack instead of a proper suitcase. There are loads of stairs to climb/ go down and the turnstyles are quite awkward, so it's really not fun dragging/ lifting/ dropping a heavy suitcase all the way.....here speaks the voice of bitter experience!!!
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: One question that appears in the Paris forum all the time is What should I wear? It seems to me that people stress about this loads before they come to Paris when really there is nothing to worry about!
Paris is a Western capital city and like all capital cities you see just about every type of person on the street, from the conservative businessman/woman to the punk revivalist and everything that's inbetween.
No one's going to look twice at you and if they do, so what?!
Other than that just apply your normal common-sense dressing rules you would follow back at home... if you're going to a church, don't wear a micro mini skirt and revealing top...if you're going out to a nice restaurant, don't wear shorts and battered old trainers!
It really is that simple.
Just relax and enjoy your time in Paris!
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: No need. One thing the French are not lacking is Pharmacies!
