  • Miscellaneous: My trip to paris was assisted with as always a couple of guidebooks - the best one I used was from "Rough Guides" a small book called Directions Paris.
    This was very detailed and helpful.

    Packing Lists: To Bring

  • Luggage And Bags: A daypack will be useful for carrying guidebooks, cameras etc, try and bring a bag that you can wear on your front or over your shoulder.....basically so that you have you eye on it at all times...esp on the metro!

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: We visited in August and although the weather was warm it lashed rain!
    So I reccommend either a light rain coat and/or an umberella!


    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: You can buy most things in such a big cosmopolitan city like Paris!

    Photo Equipment: A good camera - pref with zoom....those buildings have so much detail.


    Miscellaneous: Along with the other guidebook I already mentioned which had really good maps in it, I also used the AA guide to Paris.

     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?

     Glad you enjoyed your visits to Paris, in spite of various mishaps.
