  • Watch out for the Eiffel tower. Enormous queues all year round. I know you have to go right to the top, but the view
    is rarely that wonderful. Try the view from the top of the
    Arc de Triomphe, far better, although steps only. 250 of them. Also from the Basilica do Sacre Couer. Views are not so far reaching, but I think far better.
    Travel on the metro. By far the best mode of transport. Buy a carnet which comprises 10 tickets for about 15F. Very
    good value. You can also buy children's carnets which are cheaper. You will need to order in french. The staff rarely speak English on the metro.
