One tip I can recommend is to allow time to explore the city rather than just going from attraction to attraction. For example, during my first visit to London I spent the time going to attraction to attraction via the tube. This meant I saw a lot but didn't really "experience" the city. For my next visit, I made sure to walk through the streets more and rely less on the subway. You can happen upon some amazing hidden gems by just walking around a city.

Three very important tips: 1. Say Bonjour every time you enter a restaurant or any store in Paris. They appreciate the courtesy. 2. Say "Parles vous anglais" before starting to talk in english. Very important to show respect for their language. 3. No need to tip. Don't feel guilty for not tipping.😊

My wife and I just returned from our 13th trip to Paris. The way we start each day on most our of trips is by visiting a park in the area of the city in which we're planning to spend the first part of the day. For instance, if we're going to the Champs-Élysées we'll first go to Parc Monceau, which is about a 15-20 minute walk from the Arc de Triomphe. We normally bring pastries and find a bench so we can watch Parisians start their day. And as was mentioned, parks in Paris open early so we can relax and enjoy the vibe of the city, then head to the shops and museums once they open. Also, Paris is way bigger than you think it is and it's very easy to get lost. If you do, instead of getting stressed out, just explore the area you're in. It may not be where you planned to be, but some of our best days in Paris were spent wandering areas we didn't intend to go to but were very happy we found.

When I visit Paris I like to plan one main attraction per day. This lowers the expectations, allows me to see a major attraction, and then most of the time there is bonus time left over to add in some extras that I didn't put on the list. It's relaxing and enjoyable this way. This is just a psychological trick to take the pressure off of having to schedule multiple things in one day.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Paris in just a few weeks and I can’t thank you guys enough for the videos. It has become a Saturday morning tradition for us to watch and learn from you two. Thank you

We just got back from 14 days in France. I saw just about every video you made and they were spot on for accuracy. We did three days in Paris followed up with a river cruise to Le Havre and a bus ride to Saint Malo, D-Day Beaches, and Mt. Saint Michel. Taking everything you said, made things much easier. Pounding the streets of Paris ended up with over 10, 00 steps per day and not seeing everything we planned on but loving everything we saw. We took the evening cruise on the Le Calife and it was magical with the Eiffel all aglitter. A "bon jour" here and a "merci" there went a long way to crossing the cultural gap. I knew there would be so much history, but I was surprised at the amount of beauty in each city, castle, and journey between cities (much better than a ride on I-95 in Palm Beach County)! Thanks for the info and the help.

I have a Louvre tip for you, just in case you’d like to avoid the crowdy “head intrance “ use the intrance on the rue Rivoli (The large rue just behind the Louvre) You can also reach this intrance with the underground (metro) stop Louvre/rue Rivoli.

[uyevad]

Some great tips here - we just returned from our trip and a couple of tips that I would elaborate on. Transit times can be estimated fairly well using Google maps for public transit. I think it's possible to plan up to 2 major sights per day if you do one first thing in the morning and another mid to late afternoon. The excess free time is really key to be able to stop at random places to see things or grab a snack. Also, meal times at restaurants can be quite long, 2 hours+ in some cases. For reference, we walked about 25k steps per day and we still did a lot of breaks. Hope everyone has a great time and watch the rest of Les Frenchies channels - I found their recommendations to be on the money and a great starting point for your planning, both for sights and food!

[gabrielleparis]

Always always always plan a lot of time to savor sitting in cafes watching Paris between walking and sightseeing. And a glass of wine or champagne at regular intervals. Ooh la la🇲🇫🇲🇫🇲🇫🇲🇫 thank you Les Frenchies for the very best series on Paris travel!

[AnneMB]

Am here now in Paris. It’s lovely weather. Yes, you’re right, have walked about 20, 000 steps each day. The best activity so far is the Batobus Hop-on Hop-off Seine cruise. I decided on the 24 hour ticket (also 48 hour). Did a whole circuit that stops at major attractions. Then return to chosen attraction, Le Louvre, Place de la Concorde, Eiffel Tower, Musee D’Orsay, Notre Dame, Jardin des Plantes, Hotel de Ville. Excellent suggestions, thx.

It would be great if you could do an episode on Paris for the handicapped. How handicap friendly is Paris/France/Europe? As a person with mobility issues this would be extremely helpful.😊

[deepsnows]

I cannot tell you both how much your channel has meant to us. We never even considered Paris as a destination for us, but your videos have ignited a burning desire to see it and eat our way through it. Thank you so much for all you put into these videos! ❤

[janandnaomi]

Oh, boy! How I wish you'd made this video before November 2022.... It was my sister's 60th birthday trip and with a museum/attraction pass, definitely over-scheduled. Lesson learned: don't have, don't do, just BE!

[pasant]

I’ve been to Paris a few times on low tourist season late October to early November no lines anywhere plus there’s so many non touristy museums and interesting places to visit for free. The whole city IS a gorgeous & fascinating museum!!!

[sweetcaroline]

This video was so enjoyable to me because it was a reminder of the many things I got to see while in Paris. I went in November of 1999.I can't believe it was so long ago. It was the trip of a lifetime and my memories are still vivid! I highly recommend people visit in the cooler months because it is less crowded. All you need to remember is to bundle up, dress in layers and bring a pocket umbrella.

Planning my 4th trip to Paris. So much to see there one trip is never enough

[erickjerland]

When I went toParis I had no problem adjusting to the time difference. I had been running. Since I was fit I had no problem walking around the city. I had been to NY 6 weeks earlier and you can a lot of walking in NY.

[mikeodil]

Bonjour! My wife Kelley & I (Michael) are so grateful to have found your channel. Antoine & Colleen, you’re both so kind & thoughtful that we always feel like we’re there with you. Superb content!

This video is so essential to us because we’re sitting down this weekend to talk about our Paris itinerary. And it’s vital because the 2020 quarantine ruined our 10 year anniversary - now we’re on our way!

Our visit consists of London, Colmar, Strausbourg, & finally, Paris. But it’s the latter that has our excitement & concerns peaked because it’s only 2 days. With 4 kids being left at home, this was all the time we could spare.

So, knowing how to spend our lovely time in this great city means everything to us. Romance & Adventure is the goal, but without sacrificing the former. ❤

We’re buying your travel guide today because we trust you, adore your relationship, and are delighted to have a vacation to remember.

Thank you so much for reading. Cheers! 🥂

I love my trips as marathons : I do get to see a lot within 21 days but I cherish each and every moment .

[NataliePetra]

I just got back from Paris and having done all of these sites, I can say without a doubt that this video is spot on. I really loved watching Les Frenchies videos before my trip, and I can't wait to go again and try more of their recommendations - excellent video!
