  • Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: This is just my humble opinion, but try to blend in with the crowd, instead of wearing loud flashy clothing (such as neon windbreakers, baseball caps and colorful tennis shoes- typical American casual wear). Just dress neutrally.
    It's always better, I think, to blend in instead of looking like a person who is obviously NOT from the area. It's better for your own safety, and maybe people will even mistake you for a local. :-)

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Bring any specific medications you need. If you happen to catch a cold or flu during your stay in Paris (like I did,bummer!), you can go to the pharmacies (marked with a lit green cross) and find over-the-counter medications to help you out. The pharmacists know their stuff.

    Photo Equipment: Film is expensive in Paris. Bring a digital camera or your own film.


    Miscellaneous: The photo is of the map I use when getting around Paris. It hasn't failed me yet.
    Most major bookstores sell it.

     it makes me laugh to see people queueing up for the ice cream there and paying 22 euros Sorry to break the news on you but Berthillon is NOT famous for it's ice cream. It is actually only famous for it's sorbets.

     Hi - just read your shuttle tip for Airport Connection to paris. Wondering, did the company or driver tell you they had tracked the flight? I'm seriously considering booking them for my upcoming trip.. wanted to be sure. Thanks! -- Katie

     Now you DO live somewhere near Paris, so I expect you'll be able to go there more often. It really is great. I spent ten days there last June and had a fine time cycling all around.
