Métro: the quickest and cheapest way of transportation
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Subway/Metro
    Getting TO/AROUND: You can go anywhere in Paris with the metro. A "Carte Orange" is a monthly card covering a maximum of 4 areas with only 1 ticket. The more areas you ask, the more expensive it is. If you only travel in Paris, 1 area is enough. If you don't stay 1 month, then you have to buy a "carte hebdomadaire" which enable you to go everywhere in Paris as many times as you want with only 1 ticket during 1 week. If you think that you will not use often the subway, then you can buy only a pack of 10 tickets and in that case it is much less expensive than to buy 1 ticket each time.

    Walking Around: COMMUNICATION

    Getting TO/AROUND: when you ask a direction to someone in the street, try to write the name of the street you are looking for on a paper. Don't try to say it, because most of the time the way tourists pronounce the name of the streets is not understandable for French people. And if you have a map with you, it will be even easier to explain to you where you are and the right way to your destination. In addition, with this map people will immediately understand what you need, and they will not be suspicious (which is one the characteristic of Parisian people).

     Mostly who just passed by in the front of Fouquet's they thought the same as you . Don't judge the book by it's cover bcoz when it comes to food and service Fouquet's restaurant is a high class level . I suggest you should dine on this place .
