  • The Notre Dame and the Sacre-Coeur. Two beautiful churches in Paris. But the prices around these churches can make a huge difference.

    I checked out a shirt at 300 metres from the Notre Dame. The price was € 30,-. I didn´t buy it. Later, at 300 metres from the Sacre-Coeur I saw exactly the same shirt for only € 15,-. Half of the other price!

    So if you want to buy a souvenir, don´t buy it in the citycentre, but just go a little bit outside of the centre and buy it there.

     I enjoyed reading your first thirty tips on this addictive city -- I'll be back some other time for more.

     This city would be my favorite destination too, I'm sure...

     The plan of getting off at the next stop was what we used on our French exchange trip. Luckily we never used it!
