The "Do" in Paris

H i   G u y s

Today I would like to present you an article a little bit different. It won't be a presentation of the city, but more about things to do there... Of course, I chosed Paris. I guess it already exists lots of articles allowing you to plan your holidays there. 
Moreover, I know the city only from the two times I went there for holidays, so it is not enough to speak as a tourist guide.
Therefore, I prefer to help you during this trip allowing you to avoid the French “Faux-pas"..

First of all, I can say that “Paris is always a good idea”.
Let’s start this article with the “DO” in Paris, and some things to take note to maximize your Parisian experience.




Have a break on pavement café - Coffee culture is taken very seriously in Paris. You don’t need a book, a magazine, your phone, or another person for entertainment; the busy streets of Paris offer plenty of fodder for distraction. You just have to find a cozy "Café" with outdoor seating at a good location. In mi opinion The Marais is a good place to start.


Test French food - You probably already know that Paris is one of the world’s leading gastronomic capital. If not, (actually even if the answer is “Yes”..!) you have to discover haven of culinary excellence. Food has never tasted so good, so enjoy every crepe, baguette, macaron, pain au chocolat, every kind of fromage, and every croque-monsieur without any guilt. 
After all, food is culture, no ? 



 
Learn a few basic French phrases beforehand (and use it!) - Even if it’s just the basic phrases like “merci, s’il vous plait, bonjour, au revoir, je ne parle pas Français", it is the thought that counts! 





Go shopping - Paris is known as the world’s most fashionable city! I’m not talking about shopping on the Champs-Elysees; in fact, don’t do that at all! Stroll through the cobbled streets of the Marais or rue du Commerce and scope out aspiring designers and trendy boutiques that can only be found in Paris.


Musée d'Orsay
Acquaint yourself with Paris’ museums - Of course, you have the Musée Grévin. Finally, it is a kind of  “Madame Tussauds” museum in London, so what about discover new places you’ve never seen before? I’m all about exploring the beautiful corridors of the Louvre and Musée d’Orsay. I went there for a special night visit last year, it was just amazing! 
But there is much more to Paris’ museum circuit than those two. A few others that are worth a visit: the Musée d’Art moderne at the Centre Pompidou with its atypical façade and the Musée du Vin (a whole museum on wine…!).




To sump up, last thing to do is to book your plane asap ! Next article will be about the don’t in Paris, so...
