TIPS for getting around

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

Tip #2-Get a good tourist book which will tell you where and where not to park. 

Tip #3-Learn a bit or more of French.

Tip #4-Use the Metro. 

Tip #5  The lines and crowds at the Eiffel Tower can get very long.  Go on a week night (not Friday), or make reservations.     Tél. : 01.44.11.23.23  (From the U.S., first dial 1016868 (This makes your call only 9 cents/mintue), then 011, then 33, then 1.44.11.23.23)

TIP #6  The Louvre.  I've been to Paris twice now and still not been in the Louvre.  From what I understand, if you are an art lover and really appreciate art museums, you could spend weeks here, but for most people, half a day is enough time.  You see the famous pictures (Mona Lisa), and spend some time looking at the amazing art.  I can't really give a good suggestion on how much time to spend there.  I've heard rumors, however, that if you go on Sunday morning and get there as they're opening, it's free admission.  Could just be a rumor, you're best off giving them a call.  Tél. : (1016868 011 33) 1.40.20.53.17

TIP #7  Taking pictures in moving vehicles often results in interesting pictures.
