Instructions
Step 1
Start any communication with polite Bonjour, even if you switch to another language. Use a phrasebook to compose more complex phrases. Unfortunately, English and other languages are not widely spoken in France. Learn at least a few words of French. The French are fans of their language. Replace the words you are missing with a smile. Don't forget about the other magic word - merci.
Step 2
Learn to use the Paris Metro. At first glance, his scheme is shocking. But if you look closely, it turns out that the large number of lines provides the convenience of transplants. Each route is marked with its own color and number. To enter, you need to buy a cardboard ticket. But keep in mind that it is easier to get it for cash in the center, and on the outskirts of the machines at the stations are often configured for plastic cards. If you master the subway, then your movements will become easier.
Step 3
Walk around Montmartre, climb the Eiffel Tower. There are a few more iconic places to visit. First of all, this is the Louvre, Latin Quarter, Montparnasse. Study your guide to Paris and plan your own sightseeing plan. The number of significant museums in the city is large. Don't miss the famous d'Orsay, where the Impressionists are on display. Do not forget about the Pompidou Center if you are not indifferent to contemporary art. Climb up to the Montparnasse Tower, where the observation deck is located on the 56th floor. In addition, the center of Paris can be viewed from the bell tower of Notre Dame de Paris. You will need to purchase tickets for all the main attractions.
Step 4
Make a gastronomic travel plan. French cuisine requires thoughtful thinking. In addition to baguettes and croissants, you should try the famous cheeses - Camembert, Brie, Roquefort. You can taste the wines in the afternoon, but the main thing is not to get drunk. And the pastry shops in Paris are worthy of special attention. Someone is crazy about caramel cream, while others prefer crème brulee with a baked crust. In restaurants and cafes, it is customary to leave a small tip even if the service charge is included in the bill.
