  • I was VERY surprised to see how smoggy it is here! If you have asthma or breathing problems make sure you have what you need in case it becomes an issue. At the end of the day, my contacts were stuck to my eyes like glue! You may also want to keep this in mind before waiting in line for hours to ride to the top of the Eiffel Tower!

    Beggars / Aggressive Vendors: Don't Act Interested!!

  • Anywhere there are tourists, there are aggressive vendors. In le Jardin des Tuileries, artists wanting to draw you in five minutes will follow you if you acknowledge them. Just keep walking!! In front of the Sacre Coeur, men wanting to tie string on your finger to make a bracelet, won't leave you alone if you act interested for a split second. Everywhere we went, we ignored them and kept walking and didn't have a problem, but we saw people being followed and hounded if they spoke or made eye contact!

     Hi Jen. I am back from France. Paris was great and Provence was beautiful.

     Hi, Was just wondering how long the walk is from Eiffel Tower to Notre Dame down the Seine? Thanks.

     Congratulations on making all the right choices about what to do and not to do during your brief visit to Paris. Hope you can get back there again before long.
