i recently spent four days in paris with one of my friends who did her exchange semester there & got some huge tips for anyone intending to visit soon β read on for bits on commuting & shopping! π
π COMMUTING
βοΈtry not to sit by the doors β most people warn against this because if something's snatched from you, the person can run out immediately! ππ»
βοΈkeep your belongings close and bag zipped ALWAYS. better to be safe than sorry!
βοΈdon't engage with any strange-looking people that approach you, including buskers etc. β pay special attention especially if some of them beg for cash while coming really close to you! πΆ
βοΈ buy your tickets in bundles of 10 for a small discount β this wasn't available at all stations but just check when you're buying your ticket! ποΈ
βοΈ note disruptions/changes β this happened to us on the way to the city from the airport & we had to get an uber from a random town π
ποΈ SHOPPING
ps. i'll be uploading another post on how much you can save when shopping for luxury brands in paris! πΈ
β VINTAGE
βοΈ le marais is a highly recommended neighbourhood to check out if you're interested in vintage fashion β there are MANY stores in the area including free'p'star, kilo store etc!
βοΈ there are flea markets in the area sometimes so it's worth searching up to see if it'll be on when you visit. we explored one for almost an hour β it was huge and really interesting!
β POLΓNE
everyone's favourite affordable parisian brand that makes incredibly high quality leather bags!! π you NEED to know this before heading down:
βοΈ be prepared for a line β polene only has 2 stores in the world (paris & nyc), so lots of people come down to see the bags irl! (we waited around an hour slightly after lunchtime β°)
βοΈ do your research beforehand on what bag you want! π it's kinda messy and chaotic in the store as everyone just grabs whatever bag they want to try on, so i highly suggest going in knowing exactly what you want.
βοΈwhen you're done picking, bring the bag to one of the round tables in the store and ask a sales assistant to bring a new piece for you β this might not be instructed to you, but you cannot just go up to the counter to pay! (i wasn't told anything...) π€¨
let me know if you've got any handy tips on travelling to paris! definitely wanna be back sometime soon π₯²π
