RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CULTURAL EXPLORATION:

 

 

 

 

 

BREAKFAST:

 

Where? Either at your hotel or in a local café — look for local bakeries for fresh croissants or baguettes which most cafés will allow you to consume on their premises if you ask first and order at least a café!

 

TRAVEL:

 

Public transport in Paris and the Paris region is generally not very friendly to those with mobility issues and usually requires one’s going up and down stairs and carrying one’s own luggage in the process. In case of doubt or uncertainty while using public transport, please do not hesitate to ask other travelers for information or advice — today, most people in Paris speak at least enough English to be able to help!
