The traffic around the Arc De Triomphe is just crazy, there is just NO WAY that you can cross the road!
Use the clearly marked subway between the Champ Elysee and the Arc De Triomphe which you can join at other points too!

There are plenty of aggresive vendors around the Sacre Coeur, that may not come across as aggressive at first, but believe me they will.
Our story goes something like this -
I was waiting to use the loo by the funicular station, hubbie was wandering around, and a guy with cottons comes over to him.
Now I had warned him about these people before, but hey ho!!
The guy put a piece of string around hubbies finger whilst chatting away to him and makes a cheap looking cotton braclet thing, its made up in no time at all and slid onto his wrist tightly so that he cannot take it off.....At the same time another guy comes across to me, grabbing my hand and shouting to me to respect his tradition and let him make the braclet......Yes, I told him in no uncertain terms to "get lost!".
I go into the loo, at the same time the guy who has put the braclet around hubbies wrist is demanding 8 euro! I couldnt believe it - 8 euro!!!
Hubbie tells him he only has 50 cents! And so the guy replies, thats your wife in the loo, go and get the money from her!
No way would I pay 8 euro for that! A couple of guys surround me as I come out from the loo, and hubbie runs over with a very concerned look on his face, much shouting later we ran off to catch the funicular, with a cheap braclet, without paying the 8 euro.....very nearly turned dodgy!!
You have been warned my dear VT friends!

Wife and I just back from Paris. These guys are a menace! We were approached twice on the steps from SC. Guy grabbed my wrist and I jerked my arm away. We ended up going all sorts of circuitous routes to avoid them. Where are the cops? | Nemorino Tue Jul 4, 2006 20:26 UTC
