Paris

Hello! I’m heading to Paris this Friday, which I’m super excited for. I have one small question for people that have gone recently. I know in the past that they were very anti-leftovers like you can’t take it to go box for your leftover food, but I have a question if that’s...

I will be traveling to Paris next month and using the SkipTax app to handle VAT refunds on eligible purchases. After Paris, I will continue my trip to Rome before returning to the US. I am confused about how the VAT refund process works in this situation. Since I will not be...

Bonjour, We are a family of four with children aged 10 and 6, arriving at CDG at 1 pm on May 1. I am trying to plan around the public holiday, as I understand many places may be closed. We have a private transfer to our hotel in Montparnasse, but I expect we will not arrive...

I’m planning my first trip to Paris from May 8 to May 12 (4 days total) and I’m trying to budget around €300 in total, which comes to about €75 per day. This budget is meant to cover daily expenses only, including food, coffee, drinks, and public transport (metro, RER, buses)....

My daughter and I recently got back from a trip to Paris, and since I found this forum helpful before going, I wanted to share a few takeaways. We found Parisians to be very pleasant, and it was enjoyable just hearing them speak French. Their style is effortlessly elegant, and...

I did not have high expectations of the city. I had been told that it was dirty, full of rats, and that people were rude - but everything turned out to be completely the opposite. The city was very clean, the people were friendly, and even the bus drivers were kind and did their...

So I made a bit of a mistake while planning our trip. We have a flight tomorrow afternoon departing from Beauvais–Tillé Airport, but I just realized it is not the same as the other Paris airports like I initially assumed. We are a group of 5 people with luggage and need to get...

I’m late to planning my trip and all lift-to-top tickets for the Eiffel Tower are sold out online for every day we’re visiting. My 9-year-old is really excited and I don’t want him to miss going to the top. The website says tickets can still be purchased on-site on the day of...

This is an update to older posts claiming you need separate or combined tickets costing up to €10 to travel from central Paris to Disneyland. We traveled from Gambetta and asked at a ticket office, where we were told a single €2.55 metro ticket was enough. This contradicted what...

Just sharing my personal experience, knowing others may feel differently. We’re a US family of four (with an 8-year-old and a 4-year-old), and during our cruise stop in Le Havre (13 hours), we decided to take the train to Paris despite a lot of advice against it. Everything went...

I’m visiting Paris and tried using public transportation to go to Versailles on my first full day. After coming from London, where transit is simple and contactless, I found Paris much more confusing with multiple apps and ticket options. After some research, I decided to buy...

I recently booked a hotel in Paris through Booking.com at a very low rate. Less than 48 hours before my scheduled stay, I received a message from the hotel stating that Booking.com had experienced a cyberattack, which allegedly caused incorrect low prices to be displayed. They...
