    I'd add another tip: appreciate the beauty around you, and don't get hung upon the tourist sites. When I visited the Louvre, I gave up on viewing the Mona Lisa because the crowd in that gallery was horrendous, but in the corridor outside, there were two more stunning Leonardo paintings, and I had them all to myself!

  • @gregperez919

    Finally, people who know what they are talking about. I would add, get up early morning, like before dawn, and walk to favorite landmarks. Nobody is there. You get the best photo shots and the best natural lighting. I do this almost everywhere I travel. Good job folks.

    “Paris is not a theme park.” EXACTLY! This goes for all big cities.

    I’m a retired international flight attendant and I have high compliments for you for this video. So very true and as well as practical!

  • @francisdandrade9459

    The biggest mistake people make is visiting Paris only in summer. It's just as charming and far less crowded in spring or fall.

  • @luysterborgh

    Well, as a European and a frequent visitor of France and Paris in particular: this was BY FAR the best travelling advice I have ever seen! And yes: a lot of this advice is applicable for the whole of Europe. Good job.

  • @johnbartholf777

    One thing I actually did right (by accident) was "Elevator UP, Stairs DOWN" at the Eiffel Tower. Going down the stairs, especially at night, is a magical experience!

  • @Off_the_clock_astrophysicist

    When I was last in Paris with my husband, we stumbled upon the Petit Palais by accident. Don't let the diminutive fool you (it's in comparison to the massive "Grand Palais"). It houses a fantastic museum, and free restrooms. It became our home base when we needed to duck out of the cold and use restrooms.

  • @patrickgelinas5241

    This is the BEST video you can watch to prepare for your trip to Paris. We followed 90% of the recommendations and are happy we did. Our trip to Paris (last November) was a complete success due to Colleen and Antoine’s advice!

  • @chickenitsa

    Bravo! I'm an American who's lived in Paris for nearly thirty years, and my usual list of recommendations to visitors (friends and relatives) parallels yours .. well, about 95% of it at least! (I've never told my visitors to order champagne with pizza - a good Cote de Rhone would do - but, hey, why not, if you've got the budget! ) The other slight difference is - like you, I've always recommend that visitors get OUT of Paris a bit - but in easily accessible same-day trips (Fontainbleau or even Dieppes and the English Channel <-- which is DIRECT from Gare Saint Lazare! And by the way, too few tourist just take a ride out to Saint Germain-en-Laye for a walk or picnic in a REAL forest, and a cool view of the Paris skyline from the longest esplanade in Europe! ). Thanks again. From now on I'll just send potential visitors a link to this video! PS ... about coffee prices ... it's good to remind visitors that the price of a coffee will vary depending upon if it's ordered at the counter, at a table or on the terrace (hint: cheapest is at the bar!)

  • @drayner2517

    Good to see that our recent trip was well planned! We stayed at a cute little hotel in the Latin Quarter, ate at local restaurants (favourite being Loulou because they had a lot of gluten free😊), we didn’t visit every single top tourist place, we walked kms in our comfortable shoes, and we took the Metro extensively with no problems. We also had a week in a little village near Aix-en-Provence and visited a lot of villages and vineyards

  • @stephaneberrebi7106

    I'm a Parisian, and I must say, this is great advice you're giving, and a beautiful video too ! Why not prepare a special one for the 24 Olympic Games, because, a lot of things, including signs, arrows and directions in public transportations or in the streets can be misleading for tourists and with ten times more tourists than usual, the city may become like a gigantic Jacques Tati movie, if you see what I mean 😄

  • @TheoWerewolf

    Wow! I've been visiting Paris for 20 years and I've avoided almost ALL of these!

  • @susanmacaluso5218

    Watching children run in the park and play with boats at Luxembourg Gardens on a Sunday, playing chess under one of the awnings there, eating a hotdog on a brioche bun. Watching people paint....also going into a pet store for a dog toy. That makes for a great souvenir! When I see my dog playing with his stuffed chicken we, of course, named, "Poulet" it brings back fond memories of my month in Paris

    I spent 8 days in Paris alone, didn't see it all of course, but targeted one major site a day off the Metro. I gave myself time to wander though, to get lost and roam off the beaten track. I met interesting people along the way and had many conversations with locals who shared their experiences with me as well (and I don't speak French). These are the cherished memories of my stay. I suggest targeting a major attraction, but also allowing for the unexpected. What a city!

  • @marthawilson4775

    This was excellent. Thanks again for all of your videos. One tip you gave in a separate video regarding bathrooms was something I took to heart during my two months in Paris last spring: stopping at bathrooms in museums. This was hugely helpful. And in places like Le Petit Palais, it was free. I made a habit of using the restrooms in every museum, even if I didn’t need to! So thank you for that tip!!

    I'll have to soften point number 24 :

  • @renferal5290

    I recently was in Paris for the first time, and I loved it!! I got a great deal on an Airbnb studio flat. I was able to walk everywhere. One day, I did over 39k steps. My French is extremely limited, but I think because I tried, the French were very nice to me.

  • @paulbourguignon3632

    Hi. The biggest mistakes the tourists do in Paris is ignoring that saying « Bonjour » is mandatory every time you first interact with a human being. Not doing it is considered very very rude.
