Paris Takeways

 


1. There is too much to do in one visit. Expect to come back, multiple times if you are lucky.
My hubby and I came up with a plan in future trips to have each part of the day devoted to something (ie. Museum or tour), but leave the rest of the day for relaxation and spontaneity. What's the point of taking a vacation when you are working hard to go from one site to the next and that leaves you drained for the day?  Doesn't sound like much of a vacation.

2. Paris is a walking city. Bring good walking shoes. Pack some band aids. Get a foot massage. (If you happen to be stopping in San Francisco each terminal has an express spa. SFO also has a yoga room, but I digress...)

3. People move slower than expected for a big city. Enjoy it. Embrace it.

4. Savor your food. Dine for hours.

5. Enjoy a lazy day, have a picnic and nap.

6. Bonjour, Merci, and S'il vous plait are need to know phrases. More people know English than you expect, but some will appreciate your effort to use French. Parisians are no more ruder than anyone else who lives in a big city.

7. Appreciate every moment.


Until next time, cutiee23
