Warnings Or Dangers: The Square to Walk Backwards

  • If you want a little bit of fun, just stop in the square facing Notre-Dâme and look at the people. There's always someone walking backwards in the square. The facade is so big that confuses the photographers, who try to frame it from the center of the square, and discovering the impossibility start to move backwards until... until the photographic point right at the bottom of the square. So, after looking and smiling, save your time, and go straight there.

    Pick-Pockets: Watch yourself

  • The crowds around Eiffel tower are a good opportunity to pickpockets. In one of our late visits, Fernanda noticed a couple of men following us, too close, and with clear attention to my camcorder. We joined one line to the elevators and they lined after us. Then, I turned myself, looked the first one clearly in the eyes, and, without a word, we moved to another elevator. They abandoned the line and went away.

  • It's not so common as in other places, but beggar may appear in touristy areas. Will it be difficult to you to guess why did Victor Hugo come to my mind, when entering Notre-Dame?

    Warnings Or Dangers: Tuileries in winter

  • I use to say that the only city in Europe that challenges Lisbon's light is Paris. Tuileries, in summer, is one of the best places for that light to glow, and that's precisely the reason why it becomes so depressive in winter, at least to whom is expecting its colours and brights.

  • Versailles is very big, so, be prepared to a long walk. Either inside or outside, the distances are big, and if you go to the gardens (of course, you will!) the distances are counted in kilometers. There«s a small train, and believe me, at least for who was coming direct from America, without sleeping and with jet-lag, it was a blessing.
