How To Get Around in Paris
Paris is full of amazing sights, adventurous activities and rich history. When I’m on a Parisian jaunt, I find that I see and learn more when I stray from the beaten path overwhelmed by tourists. This is where you find the hidden gems of the city – quaint little coffee shops, secret antique stores, and private taverns, only occupied by the locals. You’ll never hear about the real, raw details of life in Paris from a tour guide. Those books only provide a glimpse of all the obvious attractions. You really discover the intricacies of the city when you look to its heart – the true city dwellers.
The Eiffel Tower is amazing, but if you really want to see what Paris has to offer, visit the Canal Saint Martin and sip some café au lait at the corner shop across the way. That is Paris.
Even though they are large events that gather lots of spectators, you should do your best to catch the French Open results and Wimbledon highlights. The French Open is located in Paris and occurs every May. Wimbledon goes on shortly after the French tournament and is set a short distance away in a London grassy suburb. Look for tickets far in advance to make sure you get the best seats possible. Tennis is just too fun to pass up!
It’s important to plan when making a trip to Europe, but it’s also important to have flexibility and let the city direct you where to go.
