Visiting Paris? Do NOT make these MISTAKES! | Paris Tourist Guide

[@TiffanieDavis]

What’s a mistake you’ve made when visiting a new country??

[@AlainNaigeon]

A small mistake - though when it happens if you are 20 years old, its' really budget killing - I once had a drink on piazza San Marco in Venezia. OMG, I don't remember the price after so many years, but me and my friends we were really shocked !

[@jerelynthomas9292]

I brought brightly colored t-shirts to Paris the first time. Didn't make that mistake again.

[@fchiarel]

Visiting the US 20 years ago for first time as a 9 people group of recently graduated: 1. ordering 9 medium sized pizzas in SF and having to finish eating them during the next 3 days (portions!)... 2. because of lack of menu display outside the restaurants in NY, entering the place not knowign the prices, having a 9 people table arranged for us, getting a heart attack seeing the prices and leaving in shame... 3. this for the french out there: going right away to the guide du routard recommended places at tourists spots: twice (at Paige and Flagstaff), the restaurant literally had a french people tent at the back of the main building with picnic style plastic furniture... so no typical atmosphere and scenic view hahaha...

Unless the person giving it to you has a special jacket or hat with their association name written on it, don’t stop for them and keep walking.

A piece of advice from a French parisian : if you can’t speak French (and that’s ok!), please ask first whether the person you’re adressing speaks English or not. In my opinion, it’s not rude not to speak our language but it’s rude to assume that we speak yours, I think maybe a lot of French people feel the same as me?? Plus A LOT of people actually can’t speak English so if you check that first, they may steer you to the right person to help you faster 😁

[@qwmx]

That should be the STANDARD all over the world. Like, I will never understand anyone who goes to any country and expect they know English, we don't expect them to know our language when they come to ours, so why should we expect them. At the basics, it would be a pretty damn fair expectation if they at least make some sort of effort on their end to learn basics like a greeting, yes, no etc, but then again, I haven't travelled much and maybe not as much people hold that weird shallow standard when they go to country which doesn't speak their language.

[@claressalucas8922]

I've been lucky enough to travel to Paris for work quite often. I've ALWAYS found Parisians to be super helpful and utterly delighted when I attempt to speak French. It's a general rule for visiting any city never to eat where the main tourist attractions are. I'm a brown girl from GA. The last time I was in Paris, I just turned left out of my hotel and walked until I found a restaurant that smelled good. I ordered in fumbling French and the table of Moroccan emigres next to me became convinced I was a long, lost cousin. They invited me to eat with them (delicious!) and gave me some great tips on other out of the way places to eat.

[@kaisawatson]

An advice I can give, or rather, a useful tip: service in restaurants take a while and it's done on PURPOSE. French people hate to be rushed to eat, so the waiters are generally discrete and will wait a bit even after you finished before bringing the next meal. That's how it works. If you are in a hurry you can explain it to the waiter BEFORE hand, and very politely, and they might make an effort to bring you your dishes a bit faster. Don't expect miracle though, if it's a good restaurant and the meals are handcooked, it can't be instantaneous. If you want to eat fast, we have a lot of fast food and sandwich shops. Also the "client is king" mentality is almost non-existent in France, unless you are in an extremely fancy place. Always be nice with waiters and people working in shops, say bonjour and all and everything should be fine. If you are annoyed by something don't assume you can talk to them like shit and they will stay nice because they need the tip. They don't. Tip culture doesn't exist in France, they'll get paid wether you're satisfied or not. In paris the service isn't always the best so yeah, google the restaurants before going in, stay polite and everything should be fine :)

[@ganymeade5151]

Absolutely. America is a fast culture. Many Americans always feel that they can never move fast enough. Also, Americans want everything right away. Plan to go to McDs and Dunkin since I want to get the most out of my tourist dollars. LOL.

[@jeanieaday2394]

Not bringing a change purse! America deals with a lot of paper cash, but the euro is much more change-based and the wallet change area isn’t usually big enough. Also: don’t put your metro tickets in the change purse. Coins will demagnetize the metro tickets and they wont work anymore..

I highly recommend (especially if you're going for a week or more), look into getting one of the travel passes for the métro system. You can get a "Navigo Easy" pass in which you can load money on and not worry about buying paper tickets (which will be phased out). When I was a student in Paris, I had the Navigo pass most locals have, so the Navigo Easy is great for tourists and return visitors!

My experience in visiting another country as an American is that, you don’t wanna bring the “all American” attitude/behavior or wherever you are from don’t bring your daily local attitude/behavior from home, because they will find you rude and disrespectful. Just be at your best to their accommodation. Making these adjustments will make the locals more comfortable and acceptable to you!

Yea so true about the escalator and stairs. In NYC we do the same thing. We hate when people stand on the left slowing us down trying to get to work. That’s how we know they’re tourists. Lolol

Thank you for saying this. I always see these comments about French people being upset if tourists don't make an effort to speak a little french greeting and I'm thinking if the French person speaks English anyway just speak English versus wasting their time and yours.

As a non-french european. A different view here: If you ask them something in English and they seem rude. Yes, they are rude. In other European places you can ask whatever you want and people are happy to answer in their broken English and help you. It's not you, it is them.

[@cydneythomas1585]

I definitely experienced the difference in fashion while living in France. In general, I do wear a lot of neutral tones, but I also mix it up and wear bright colors! The strange looks never ceased, but I had many people tell me that they really appreciated my boldness because that is not a typical quality of the French. It did make me stand out in some situations, but it was not always a negative thing... oddly enough, I actually had a lot of high school kids coming up to talk to me and one of the reasons they did was because of my fashion!

[@citrine65]

That's fun!

[@penelopepitstop762]

I think it would be boring to look like everyone else and “blend in.” Sounds very somber. I wear make up and dress cute, (not over-the-top or inappropriate). Just saying that’s me.

[@backintimealwyn5736]

It's like in japan, if you're a foreigner it's okay, you're forgiven. Like a precious bird from a tropical country. Every french mother tells her daughter not to wear too much make up or flashy colors so that they don't look "vulgar and superficial" , I'm not saying it's the right , universal way of seing things , and french girls can feel corseted by this. If you're a french girl, you will be juged, harshly : skirt too short + heavy make up (you'll get insults) , flashy anything (you'll get unwanted attention and comments) , you'll be considred as trying to attract attention to yourslef , being vulgar, being vain,narcissistic and sometimes ... stupid. All sorts of unpleasant things. It's not "a good thing" but in a way it also maintains some kind of style, identity and tradition.

[@archeewaters]

i'm so glad you mentioned the water. that's my biggest concern. thanks

[@ThomasParis]

"Bonjour" does go a long way. Even if that's the only word of French you know, that's a LOT better than nothing. Another reason not to stay in the suburbs: Paris is a VERY walkable city. When I take someone around Paris, we use public transport as little as possible (driving is a big NO here, in my book) because it's so much more fun to walk through beautiful little known parts of the city. Thanks for the great video. I love hearing what people from other cultures think of Paris.

Same could be said in San Francisco--restaurants at Fisherman's Wharf are tourist traps and the food's mediocre at best. Former NYer here too.

TO WHATEVER COUNTRY YOU GO TO, PLEASE MASTER THAT MUCH!!!

[@SalvatoreIadicicco]

I love Paris and have been many times. Learning a little French is absolutely the secret key to a great time there. My tip for biggest mistakes made while traveling comes from going to Italy, and wanting to see so much of the country at once, or Europe in general. You want to see as much as you can with a limited time, Don’t City hop every one to two days because you have to pick up your stuff and keep moving nomadically. Space it out to at LEAST 3-4 days. Which I can do 1-2 days but sometimes the transportation isn’t as efficient as you need it to be and your plans get ruined, or even caused you to have to walk in the middle of night 7miles in Bologna in the woods, in pitch black where you cant see your hands or the ground, while it’s athunderstorm and the temperature is dropping and youre soaking wet, and when you get to the hotel at 6am you get no sleep again because you have to leave at 7am to catch a train. Can you tell that happened to me? Oh and this was AFTER not sleeping on the flight over and our 2 hour train took 8 hours and we only had 3 hours sleep the night before that. Just slow down and give a couple days per place.

Totaly agree with not doing too much in one day. My first Eurotrip, we went to Belgium, Barcelona and Paris in 15 days. By the time we got to Paris, all we did was walk around and eat. We did not visit a thing, other than the Eiffel Tower. We live in Belgium now so it's a quick trip to Paris, but if you are travelling from the US or Canada (as we were at the time) or some place further away, avoid this mistake to make sure you truly emjoy your visit.

[@Imfae]

What do you think about Asnieres Sur Seine? would you recommend staying there?

[@daviddaspit4166]

Public transportation is the best. I took public transportation in from Charles de Gaulle airport to my hotel. Took the RER in to Montparnasse and then switched to the Metro (two stops, maybe three) and I was about 50-100 yards from my hotel. 🙂

[@rosedewittbukater4203]

Hello coming to Paris for the entire month of May 2024. I rented an Airbnb condo 3 minute's walk from the Mirabeau Metro. Do you consider that too far into the suburbs?

Can you do an update on how Paris is during lockdown right now?

[@TiffanieDavis]

Oh good point maybe I'll do a livestream soon and we chat about it :)

[@madameswitch8826]

There is a curfew at 6pm and there will be a lockdown during the weekend, a lot of museum and touristic attractions are closed . the restorant are open but you can only eat by delivery or take away. France really sucks right now :/

Helpful video.

[@bringingbacksockswithsandals]

My hs history class had a trip to Paris during spring break and my friend and I had been taking French in school so we actually got around pretty well and people in shops were really nice to us. At a restaurant though, I completely blue screened and forgot like all the French I knew, so I fumbled around for like 3 minutes trying to remember and charade the word for ‘butter’ The server was just 👁👄👁 the entire time.

[@bunnierabbt]

Hilarious😭😭 definitely somethin I’d do too lmao

[@standardtuning4guitars423]

Same thing happened to me. I was standing near the entrance to one of the paris metros and a frenchman asked me where the station was. I could see it but i was making Jim Carey noises and making gestures. (Probably worrying if metro is feminine or masculine and just having no experience in speaking french.

[@Staronqueen]

I visited France two times. My first visit I went to Montpellier, which is in the South and the second time around, I did a detour in Paris. Yes, my biggest problem was finding a place to eat when I was hungry. I am not like most people, I only eat if my stomach is empty. So when I was hungry for my second meal of the day/lunch all the restaurants were closed. Also, most dishes on the menu had dairy products and I am lactose intolerant. Yes, I was hungry most of the time I was in Paris. I lost weight that I couldn't afford to lose😥

[@andrewsgarcia23]

Hi love your video im going in October from Los Angeles California can't wait.
