Thank you for the delightful video. The past two Novembers, I have found great deals from Chicago to Paris and found a VERY inexpensive Airbnb in Le Banlieu both times. You have many good tips, and the next one I will do for next time is to buy Le Metro tickets on a Navigo card. I am wary of the sidewalk cafes and still have not tried one, but I love the street food such as crepes and kebabs. In Clichy, I stumbled on a place called "Flunch" last year and have had the same marinated beef pie (forgot the name of it) with their scrumptious salad bar all three times. Next time, my trip will be for months instead of just a couple of weeks.

Hi, Are you a local travel guide?

Good video ... I really looked at taking the RER B into Paris but with luggage I don't want to use the Metro to get the final mile to the hotel. Trying to drag luggage onto the metro in the morning is not my idea of fun. Plus there are steps to deal with at many of the Metro stations and it also won't get us all the way to the hotel. So you might be right about the taxi being the better way to go door-to-door in this case. I had thought about taking the RER B to Gare du Nord and then catching a taxi for the last bit to the hotel, thinking it might be faster but it's likely the part of driving through Paris that is going to be the slow part anyway. Last year when we did a bicycle tour in the Cotswolds we stayed in London for 4 days ahead of the tour. We took a hotel right next to Paddington Station so taking the Heathrow Express to Paddington was the easiest way. Then walk 200 feet to our Mercure Paddington hotel. Not quite so simple in Paris. I guess we could just stay in a hotel around Gare du Nord but other videos I've watched said that area is a bit sketchy. The hotel I want to stay in is in Arrondissement 7 near Rue Cler. The RER B won't help there, going to need to take a taxi anyway so might as well just take it from the airport and be done with it.

We just returned only last week, our plans were slightly dampened by the weather but it did not stop the fun. We can't wait to return in the new year.

Great update, Lynn!

Loved the video! All the information I needed was here! But I confess I had to prepare an expresso and an energy drink to keep my ears on the same rhythm with the beautiful and intelligent presenter!

Amelia, I was just in London 3 months ago and having to learn how to use the Tube. Where I live in the U.S. there isn't a good metro system so it was pretty new to me. The London Tube system was, as the Brits say, bang easy. What I really liked is that you could simply pay as you go with a tappable credit card! I could have bought an Oyster card and pre-loaded money onto that but then how much do I load? 20 Pounds? 30? I don't know. Say I load 30 and only use 20, then I have to deal with getting the unused 10 refunded somehow. Being able to use a credit card eliminates all of that mess. I see I'd have the same issue using the Navigo card ... how much to pre-load. But it appears with the Paris Metro there isn't an option to just pay per ride with a credit card. In my mind that is a +1 for the London Tube over the Paris Metro!

0:22 how about Paris Orly airport

Big Tip. The Metro is not mobility friendly. Lots of stairs. The RER system is accessibly by escalator or elevator at all stations. Also, you can take the RER from CDG as an express. The last station at CDG is Terminal One; the next station in Paris is Gare du Nord. This skips several local stations, which is great.

Big Tip. Visit Paris in the winter. No one is there. The Louvre Museum is practically empty. The weather is great, only a little bit cold. And if you get lucky like I did once, it might snow. It might sound corney, but Paris is very, very beautiful in the snow. Winter visit. The Christmas decorations are great, in particular, the window decorations at the big department stores. And last, every one of all ages look great in winter clothes; few people look great in a thong. But even fewer look great wearing a fanny pack, cargo shorts, and a Hard Rock Cafe T-shirt. Black winter clothes and a scarf are classic.

Merci beaucoup!

It's actually easier than presented. I've lived in Paris off and on for more than a year and a half and I've NEVER needed an app. The maps work quite well and the Paris Metro is so logically laid out!

The Promenade Plantee is another cool place Parisians like that many tourists don't know about.

I normally take uber but I will try and take taxi now. €65 is not bad. You are so right, the last time my Uber driver was lost for a good 30 mins. It seems like he doesn’t know where the airport arrival was. Never again. Thank you for making this video

Slower phase next time please. You're in the train already, we're still buying tickets 😂😂 Helpful tips anyway. Thanks!

OH!!! SLOW DOWN, PLS. THANKS

As a Parisian, the most important one is to pay attention to your environment! The pickpocketters are easily spottable once you know the "standard behavior" in the metro and if they see you noticed them, either they will flee or change target. You can have things in your pocket (I always have), but only in the front pocket of the pants (their opening is less wide and more complicated to force). NEVER EVER put anything to your back pockets

Bravo - wonderful video! - and agree with all the advice #AlwaysRERForMe

The last time I bought a ticket for the train into Paris from the ticket machine I remember that you had to use coins. At that time they didn’t take paper euros. Has that changed?

Im aslo feel the speach is speed , ❤

The fake taxi scammers at CDG are awful. The airport should put up signs pointing at where they stand directly on the way to the taxis that say "These are scammers, ignore them" 😆

Love the city been there city of love Will surely visit it once again

I would never trust the virtual tickets. I've seen peope have trouble validating and with Metro police vecause of phone service issues. Nothing beats a paper ticket or a Navigo card

I was waiting to know where is the place for Uber and bolt cos I was very confused…but looks like there’s no designated place and that’s really sad

Is the video going form Paris to CDG coming? And the best ways if you have early morning flights out.

What about the Air France bus? When I lived in Paris I used it all the time because the Air France bus that I used to take stopped at Porte Maillot and Place de l'Étoile.

Thanks a lot, this was super helpful!

My dear, if you want more subscribers, speak slowly. 😊

Could you please advise if you can get a larger taxi from CDG, for 4 people with 4 suitcases and the cost? TIA

Thank you for thhe updates...much helpful

What about apps like Bolt for taxi. They are a lot cheaper too.

Speak slowly to let people understand what you say.

We were in Paris a few years ago and we were so disappointed with the food. Then we started to venture around smaller neighborhood streets and the difference was night and day.

Very useful…..probably shows how long ago i travelled but am assuming AIr France airport bus to Etoile no longer operates. I was a big fan of RER but as with London some underground connections are much less convenient than others …..Chatelet I recall being a very large station

We never saw any

My family is visiting Paris in Dec with 3 toddlers. Will bring a stroller as obviously they will get tired walking. Pros and cons of bringing one?

thank you for showing La Villette. i have always wanted to visit this place but wasn't so sure. thanks

Thank you for a great video. Super helpful tips!

Thanks, great info!

I’m sorry you’re speaking too fast that I could not enjoy the video 😢

Dont eat if they basketwork chairs out front a rule for most European cities.

Boulangeries : fine for buying bread etc. But it is bad manners to eat walking.

So let’s just keep secret places secret, for crying out loud.

is paris worth it? I heard amsterdam is better

So many better cities in Europe to visit with far less scammers

Hi, We have a 2 days plan to visit paris next month end. Do you have any suggestion or guide us those 2 days. We're 9 people actually.

Bonjour, Amelia! In your explanation of the 1-4 lines, you said something that I could not understand. Had to use to CC and it read, "three bis". Frankly, what are these? THANKS!

We bought a variety of pastries there that were super delicious. (And am a frequent visitor, returning to Paris annually.) Their millefeuille was one of the very best I've ever tasted.

Great tips! Just one comment: we would never call the "Saint Ambroise" quarter by this name, for Parisians it only refers to the metro station. Except for a few of them, we mostly never use the administrative quarters' names. They are basically used only by the police. For us this portion of the 11th arrondissement is known as "Oberkampf", the main street in the area and the name of its southwestern metro station.

How did we miss the cheese museum on our last trip? Now we need to go back. Thanks, Amelia!
