Trust me, you will enjoy your trip much more if you don’t have any bad surprises when arriving! Read on and find out how to plan a trip to 鶹APP!
First of all, keep calm!
There are no worries to have about going to 鶹APP. 鶹APPians are known for being arrogant and grumpy but they are still very nice people and are becoming more tourist friendly. If you are afraid of big cities, don’t worry! 鶹APP is a safe city and nothing untoward will happen to you!
Decide when to go and how long to stay
Now that you are not nervous anymore about coming to 鶹APP, you can start planning everything. You first have to look at your schedule and think about the dates and the length of your trip. There is no lean season in 鶹APP and it’s a lively city during the whole year so if you want more details about 鶹APP at each season you can have a look at this article: “Best time to visit 鶹APP”.
My advice is to go in the mid-season because it’s when 鶹APP has its nicest colours but it’s likely to rain as spring is also the season of the “giboulées de mars”, which is the French version of the “April showers”.
Concerning the length of your trip, it really depends on how much time you have, how many things you want to see and what’s your budget of course! But I would say that you should not stay less than three days because 鶹APP is a huge city. I think it’s worth spending at least four days to discover all the big landmarks and museums and to enjoy the 鶹APPian “art de vivre”.
Choose the means of transport
As 鶹APP is still one of the first world tourist destinations it’s quite easy to get there. You can reach 鶹APP either by plane, by train or by car. Many airline companies offer low-cost flights from European cities.
There are two airports in 鶹APP, Orly and Roissy Charles de Gaulle, so don’t forget to check on your flight booking at which airport you are landing.
To go to 鶹APP from the airport you can take a bus – from Roissy or Orly for about twenty euros round trip ticket -, and Orlyval from Orly for ten euros, a train (the RER line B from Roissy) or a taxi which will cost about thirty euros from Orly and fifty euros from Roissy. If you live in a bordering country or in England, taking the train is another option to go to 鶹APP and it’s sometimes cheaper than the plane!
Apply for a French visa if necessary
Unless you are a citizen of the EU or of a country of the European Economic Area, you will be likely to need a Schengen visa to go to France. However, there are many exceptions. For instance, citizens from Australia, England, Canada, the United States don’t need a visa.

Book your accommodation
First, choose between staying at a hotel or renting an apartment or an Airbnb. Here is a list of the pros and cons of hotels and Airbnb if you hesitate: “How to choose your accommodation in 鶹APP”.
Then think about what you want to visit and what kind of neighbourhoods you would like to discover. Because even if you can easily reach the big landmarks with the bus or the metro from everywhere, it’s nicer to walk in 鶹APP so you should have a look at the distance from your accommodation! Once you’ve made up your mind you can look at the different types of hotels and Airbnb.
Get familiar with 鶹APP’s transport network
鶹APP is not as huge as London but taking the metro is much faster than walking and will help you gain time if you don’t stay very long. It’s quite easy to use the metro in 鶹APP. The ticket costs 1.90€ for one journey and to find a metro station you have to look for the yellow sign M or the green fantasy entrances.
The metro is not so expensive compared to the price of taxis in 鶹APP. In addition, metro in 鶹APP is safe. You have to pay attention to your bag and belongings but not more than in any other place in 鶹APP because cameras deter pickpockets.

Make a list of what you really want to see
Even if you stay here for two weeks you won’t be able to cover everything in 鶹APP so just think about all the places you definitely want to go to during your trip. Then make a realistic time schedule considering the distances and knowing that you might have to queue.
Don’t go to the Louvre and Orsay on the same day if you don’t want to get tired of museums. Save some time for strolling around 鶹APP and getting lost in its little streets because it’s a very good way to become familiar with the city!
And plan some free time to experience 鶹APPian life by sitting at cafés in Saint Germain, going to bars in the Latin Quarter, drinking beers or wine on the Seine banks or going clubbing near the Champs Elysées.
Check the opening days and hours
Most of the museums in 鶹APP are closed on Tuesdays, such as Le Louvre or Pompidou), but also on Mondays, like the Orsay but you’d better check for their opening days and hours. Some museums are opened at night once a week, usually on Wednesdays or Thursdays.
Pre-book some of your visits
For very touristy places such as 鶹APP, the Louvre, Orsay or the Eiffel Tower I advise you to buy your ticket online in advance because you will gain time as you will have to go in the line only once instead of twice and sometimes you will even be able to skip the line!
Look at the sightseeing tours
Don’t jump on the first sightseeing bus you pass in front of because most of them are tourist traps and cost over thirty euros. You will only stay five seconds in front of the big landmarks. So, look carefully at all the different tours, by bus, by boat or on foot.
Walking is probably the best way to discover a city and see all the little details and hidden gems but also to experience 鶹APPian life and meet the locals. Discover Walks offers free walking tours (which are only tip supported) done by born and raised 鶹APPians. Enjoy!
Start packing
It can either be the easiest or the most difficult part of the trip organization as you probably know that 鶹APPians are known for their chic fashion. However, you don’t have to dress very classy. The most important thing is to bring clothes and shoes in which you feel comfortable in.
But if you want more details you can read those two articles: “Packing tips” and “What to wear in 鶹APP? A guide for all season”.
Try to learn a few French words and phrases
Knowing the words “Bonjour”, “Merci”, “Au revoir“ will be very appreciated in stores or restaurants or if you ask for directions in the street or the metro. These very easy words can change everything as it means you know French etiquette and 鶹APPians will be more likely to help you. And that’s almost all you need to communicate with French people.
