some tips for first time in paris traveling:-

First time visitors to Paris often write in asking for general tips and advice based on our collective experience. Besides how to avoid looking like a tourist in Paris, here are our top tips to maximise the enjoyment of that first visit.

1. Greet people with a lively Bonjour Monsieur, Bonjour Madame or equivalent. The English equivalent of ‘hi’ or ‘hello’ does not measure up to the musical inflexion of the French greeting.

2. Take the opportunity to practise your French, no matter how basic it is. Although most Parisians speak English fluently and willingly compared to a few years ago, a little acknowledgement of their language goes a long way.
3. Be prepared for queues to get into museums, restaurants, major sights, even some patisseries. This isn’t confined to the peak of tourist season.

4. Where possible, make dinner reservations ahead of time. Many Paris restaurants have online reservations or can be contacted by email. If you are planning to dine at any of the fine establishments, it is best that you book in advance before you leave home to avoid disappointment. Some restaurants such as Le Jules Verne in the Eiffel Tower require credit card details when taking a booking.

5. The Paris Visite card is not always the best option for travelling on public transport. Check out the Passe Navigo Découverte and the 2010 rates.

All of the above are great tips! I would just add the following: keep calm in any circumstances, Paris can be a very stressful city if you tend to get nervous and anxious in a crowded, noisy environment. Also, Parisians can sometimes seem really cold and rude: Do not take it personally! Always be polite, smile and speak french as much as possible even if it's just "bonjour, merci, au revoir", and you'll be just fine!

Tip #1 for Paris - If you are in Paris driving a car, be aware that people in Paris drive however they want to.
#

Tip #2 - If you have a car, get a good tourist book which will tell you where and where not to park.
#

Tip #3 - Learn a bit of French. A great book which has a lot of basic phrases and fun things to try is Rick Steves' handy pocketbook guide to basic French (find book)
#

Tip #4 - Use the Metro (the subway). There is simply no better way to get around Paris. But make sure you've brushed up on your French. It will help with buying tickets and understanding the maps in the subways.



Tip #5 - The lines and crowds at the Eiffel Tower can get very long. If you must see the lights of Paris at night (and you should) Go on a week night (not Friday), or make reservations.
