Hey there,
Last time I was in France was on a school trip 3 years ago. It was quite fun back then. There are lots of tourists out there and also some salesman that illegally sells stuff like a mini eiffel towers that glows light. The fun thing is when they run a away when the police arrives. :P
There are a lot of small people around (compared with myself when I was almost was 6 feet long.)
Be aware of pickpockets. There are a lot of them, specially in crowded places.
About the prices, it's quite expensive where I was (some kind of restaurant with other guys) specially the beer. :P But the most important thing is that you have to enjoy the city. There's lots of buildings to watch.
french baking is the best baking in the world
When traveling, always put your valuable in your front pockets ;) As mentioned above dealing with pickpockets.. they cant pick the front pocket without you knowing. Other then that,m why not just look at a tourists guide book to get the information your wanting to know?
When I was in Paris a few years ago some wee pickpocket tried to take my mate's watch. He then offered him a sandwich for it. Also, beware of the drivers, the French can't seem to drive.
I live in France. In Paris expect to see many black peoples, they'll be your dealers if you ever need, Arabs will be your rival, they either want to steal you or scam you.
Concerning food, French restaurants are the best but the most expensive, but you can eat in Fast Foods like flunch, mcdonald, quick.
You'll travel a lot in sub train and tramway.
Shouldn't you of organized this before purchasing airline tickets? Anyways. /jealous xD.
All true when I was there except for the black people part. :P Only saw a few.Originally Posted by rebora2007
Well yea ^^ For the black people part, I used to go there for commercial purposes and the hotels I lived in weren't luxury, the neighbourhood was filled with black peoples . You won't see much in tourists area, but you'll need them if you need any drugs or sumthing .
If a person tries to talk to you on the street, ignore them, it's a scam.
Lol France, I once went there and water was more expensive than coca-cola for some reason. No fountains or water in the public parks either. And coca-cola was at 1.5€ per 33cl can.

Oh there's also this rather nice self-service restaurant just across the road from the Pompidou Centre, think it's called Flunch. Rather nice.
