  • Miscellaneous: To visit Paris, you need very good walking shoes, a good guide book, a detailed map and a compass.
    Very good walking shoes. If you don't take care, you will have sore feet way before you have finished to visit Paris. Remember that the Louvre is hhuuuuge, Versailles even more and that there is much more to visit. Trekking shoes will be the best if you plan to visit Paris several days in a row, which I do not recommend, but I understand that if you are flying from a long way, that might be the only visit in Paris of your life and that you have to do it that way !
    A good guide book. There are many and some are good. You will probably prefer to have a guide book in your language but if you can read French, I highly recommend the various "guide du Routard". They are printed every year and have always reliable tips. You can also have a look at their web site.
