Do your research

Go slow!

Why rush? This is Paris, things are not meant to be taken in quickly and without proper time to digest and devour the beauty of the city. Although the Parisian people might like to rush around, it doesn’t mean you have to as a tourist. Relax, savour every last minute of your trip – sip that coffee, don’t gulp that coffee. A favourite for us has to be just taking the time to stroll the streets of Paris with your camera in hand, taking the opportunity to go snap happy and capture moments that you would have missed before if you were in a hurry to get to your next museum or next landmark.

 

Of course, try the food

Head to a small Parisian bakery, stop off at a coffee shop for a break, head to a top quality restaurant to try the famous French cuisine. No trip to France is left without the odd croissant or two. But look further than that, we won’t spoil it for you, but French cuisine is worth so much more than croissants or frog legs – get involved with the food and take risks with the menu, you never know, you might just stumble upon something great.

 

Be careful on the metro

The Paris metro can get quite busy during peak hours, especially if you’re in the centre, and although it is known as the city of love, men can sometimes try to push the boundaries of just what exactly love means. When travelling off peak on the metro, you should be fine, but just have that extra awareness about you when entering the metro at busy hours.
