6 Tips About Paris That Locals Want You To Know

Enjoying visiting Paris? Here are some tips to visit this city of fragrance and beauty that locals want you to know. Do keep these tips in your mind whenever going out to walk on the streets of Paris.

1. Reserve Early

If you want to avoid waiting at the queue, here is a tip from the locals. Reserve early. Especially if you are trying to taste the real Italian desserts in the most famous hotels or cafes of Paris, then you need to reserve a place early. Although the taste and presentation coupled with the environment prove this wait fruitful, however, you should waste not a single minute in waiting in the long queue. Spend your time wisely to get most out of your visit. Besides, reserve your taxi early from some international taxi service so that you can arrive to taste the best desserts on time.

2. Don’t Stare

It is the habit which annoys the locals a lot. Especially, when you are visiting the center of the Tuileries, do enjoy its wider path; however, it does not mean that you should stare at the other visitors. Locals get annoyed as it is the kind of intrusion into their enjoying time to irate them by constantly staring at them. Even when you are waiting for a taxi, do enjoy the environment, but do not stare here and there to irritate people. You can use an international taxi service to avoid waiting for a cab to come.

3. Use Your Credit Card for Small Payments Too

When you are heading towards the local hotels, you do not need to pay in cash. Even if you are there just to have a cup of coffee, you can use your credit card. Locals usually use credit cards and do not bother carrying a lot of cash in their pockets while traveling into the city. If you have shopped or spent a lot on something even then do not use cash, especially the big notes. Shopkeepers get hesitated to take big notes. Also, they may not have changed to pay you back as paying via cash is not a common practice there. Furthermore, if you are traveling via an international taxi service, you need to ask if you can pay via credit card or not.

4. Be Quiet

Now, this one is quite important to keep in mind if you are about to visit Paris. Locals love to befriend with the visitors who speak at a lower volume.

5. Wear Black

If you want to feel like a local, wear back or some dark shades of grey. You’ll look like a local and can enjoy visiting Paris like roaming around your own country.

6. Visit the Villages

If you are in Paris for a longer time, then locals will recommend you to visit nearby communities. Moreover, you can enjoy your time visiting little streets of Montmartre, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, or Pantheon with the beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower. It doesn’t mean that you need to forgo the visits to those places which are in your to-visit list. You can always use any international taxi service to reach any place in Paris.

In a nutshell, pieces of advice from locals are the best you can ever get as they are the people who know the best and the worst about their city.
