  • Avoid a crepe/ice cream stand run by an older Middle Eastern man located within view of the S. Michel fountain. Creepy guy who just waits to see if you count your change. If you catch it, he will immediately pull the stolen bill out of the register and hand it over.

    I can't say this is the only time a vendor/business tried to shortchange me. I experienced this a few times while in Europe.

     Sorry Paris didn't meet your expectations. Try it again sometime, maybe with different expectations. Or just rent a bicycle and get away from the main tourist areas. (I'm one of those peeps who love it, as you might have guessed.)
