Parlez-Vous Anglais?: fake train tickets

  • Whilst standing in a queue for my train ticket back to CDG airport I was approached by a young chap, "parlez vous Anglaise"? he told me I was in the wrong queue and he would show me how to get my ticket from a machine. I had done this on the way into Paris so I knew it was ok to do this. I had no change so he proceeded to insert a "credit card" then passed me the tickets and I gave him 15euro. The tickets got us through the barrier so I thought nothing more of it until the inspector got on the train. He had given me cheap day tickets not the ones I really needed and we were fined 20 euros each!!!Not a good end to an otherwise fantastic holiday. BEWARE some people are there just to con you.

  • I now know why the Franch drink coffee from thimble sized cups, there are not very many toilets about!! In fact they seemed to be very few and far between, not good if you need to spend a penny quickly.
