  • Luggage And Bags: Make sure you can reasonably carry your bags if you plan on taking the metro and not a taxi. There are plenty of stairs to manuever around so don't overpack. Also, bring a bag that is secure (not like a one snap bag) b/c it'll be harder for people to swipe say, your wallet.

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Everyone in Paris wears scarves. Bring a couple of every and any color.

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Bring your own deodorant. They may not have your brand here.

    Photo Equipment: an adaptor if it has flexible voltage (read 110-220 V) or a transformer if it's only one of the two. It would be a shame to have your battery die at Sacre Coeur.


    Miscellaneous: An alarm clock, a wash cloth (european hotels don't consider this a necessity) a duffel bag to carry souvenirs home in, and Hershey's chocolate kisses to bribe airport customs! ;-)

     In France, girls usually do ignore guys and do not show any sign of interest for them at a first glance. So, I can imagine that you gave a few smile to some guys, which is enough in this culture to make the guys believing that you are interested in them.
