Essential Paris Tips

01
Buy a Carnet or Navigo
A pack of 10 Métro tickets (Carnet) saves money vs single tickets. For stays of 4+ days, the weekly Navigo pass is better value.
02
Book the Louvre Early
The Louvre sells out weeks in advance in summer. Always pre-book online — same day queues can be 3+ hours.
03
Supermarché Picnic
Paris's supermarkets sell world-class wine, cheese and charcuterie at a fraction of restaurant prices. A Seine-side picnic is a Parisian institution.
04
Greet Everyone
Always say 'Bonjour' when entering a shop. It's not just politeness — failing to greet people is genuinely considered rude.
05
Free Museum Sundays
Most national museums including the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay are free on the first Sunday of every month.
06
Avoid Champs-Élysées Restaurants
The restaurants on the Champs-Élysées are expensive and mediocre. Walk one street back for dramatically better food at half the price.
