  • Be prepared to wait loooong for your ticket to Louvre Museum (I was waiting 50 min.) especially in the morning.
    Don't worry, take it easy and keep smiling. And enjoy your time:
    - look at and take shots of the Louvre pyramides,
    - make friends from all over the world,
    - believe me, the Louvre is worth of your waiting

    Tip for people suffering from VTA (Virtual Travel Addiction, new desease - no cure till now but very strong support group):
    There are too many things to do and see to "waste" your time for VT in Paris hehe. Good place to take a break and not to logg on VT although there are many internet cafes there.

    Be prepared to pay for a toilet: there are numerous very small (a little gym inside - very healthy hehe) street toilets - there is no phone inside so better do not shut doors if you are afraid to be trapped inside untill you have cell phone by you hehe.

    Parisienes have bad opinion not to speak any foreign languages and not to be very sympathetic for tourists.
    Hmm... I can't agree at all, I met many very sympathetic people on a street who were very usuful giving me info although their knowledge of English was as poor as mine, but enough to communicate.

    So DO NOT BELIEVE that they can't speak English and that they are unfriendly. Who did say it?

    I heard a bad opinion about the health care system (I mean basic health services for foreign tourists) in France and Paris. Hmm... is it really true?

    Even if it's true and sth bad happen to you there, don't worry, look at my picture :-))).



    From Hamster_Huey from... Paris:
    France was ranked first of all World Health Organization member states in terms of Health Care quality in the WHO 2000 report.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Don't ask

    If you got lost in Paris better don't ask where are you:
    1. older ladies,
    2. ladies with tons of bags in hands (shopping fans),
    3. white-collars while they are in a hurry (7-9am),
    4. non English speaking people,
    5. other lost tourists :-)

    So, DON'T ASK - better walk around to discover sth new till you find big "M" sign (metro/subway station). Attenttion: it's not McDonald's sign.

     Matt, I had such a good time reading your tips tonight. You really make me laugh.

     Hi Matt, your tips will help us on our 3 night stopover on the way to USA. Last time in Paris 1993, but did not see much.

     Yes, it's a magical place. I spent ten days there last June and had a great time cycling all around and going to the operas.
