  • Luggage And Bags: Depending on where your going to stay I suggest pack light. It doesnt mattter or your luggage or bags but carrying everything around regarless of traveling through the country side, or city hopping, carrying a large amount of luggage is a major pain in the ass.

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Comfortable shoes are a must since you will be doing more walking then a New Yorker! ..and you want to walk, the sites are to fantastic to miss not to. Also bring evening shoes in case your going to go and hit it up at some clubs. During the summer a light jacket is all you need and of course a beret to go with that dashing french scarf you'll be forced to buy at the Galleries Lafayette!

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Luckily we didn't need anything major on our trip just some midol and bandaides. And ladies i highly suggests you bring your own femine products because it's very difficult looking for pain killers and tampons with all men shop keepers!

    Photo Equipment: A basic 35 mm camera or a digital one will do simply fine

    Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Bring a bathing suit just in case....if you never been to the "beach" in Paris you'll be QUITE surprised lol. But I did happen to see a few couples swimming in the river- not to mention they were drunk.

    Miscellaneous: Have a marvelvous time!!!!!!!!

     Paris was my first trip as well without family and I like you how describe feeling independent and free. Think I felt the same way at the time. Rue Descartes is a lovely spot, I think it's very near Mouffetard, one of my favourite Prias areas.

     I love Paris. It is my favorite city. I took my daughter to London and Liverpool when she graduated.
