Packing Lists: Things to bring
  • Tip Rating:

  • Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: I brought good walking shoes. There are lots of cobblestones that are hard on you if you wear heels. I also wore jeans and black pants. Basic neutral colors seem best if you don't want to stand out. In the winter bring a warm coat and wear a scarf. An umbrella is a must.

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Bring basic headache and cold medicine. I got a cold while there and had trouble describing my symptoms to the pharmacist. All I knew how to say was "je suis malade". I couldn't tell her I had a sore throat. The pharmacies are clearly marked with a neon green cross.

    Photo Equipment: A good camera is a must. Bring plenty of film and if you use a lithium battery, make sure to bring and extra!

     Sounds like you had a good time and saw a lot even though it was so rainy in December. But yes, you really should go back in the summer. I spent ten days in Paris last June and had a great time. (Even though there was a heat wave going on.)

     The catacombs look great - I had never heard about them before.
