Getting TO/AROUND: This was a new one for me. I had my hotel call for a taxi and he arrived with a 12 Euro tab on the meter and began to drive off to my destination. I asked if we was going to clear the meter and he said no. Apparently, the meter starts running once he is called so you are paying for the time it takes him to pick you up in ADDITION to what you are paying for your trip. I've never experienced this before. He explained that no taxis would respond to calls without this policy?

'Mode': AROUND
Category: Subway/Metro
Getting TO/AROUND: A friend of mine just went to Paris for the 2nd time last week and he had never used the Metro. He had been taking cabs everywhere. I urged him to give it a try and told him he would find it among the best subway systems in the world. He was a bit intimidated by the language issues as he speaks no French. He called and said that he tried the Metro and it was a breeze. Easy to follow maps and routes and no problems at all. He is now converted....

Jeff, great start on all of your pages for the first day! Hope to see more Paris tips. Unfortunately, taxis add on a surcharge when the hotels reserve or call them for you. Greetings from San Francisco. |
