Top Things to Do in Paris

  • Visit Mona at the Louvre.
  • Take a night time Seine River Cruise.
  • Enjoy some macarons from the creator of them all, Laduree.
  • Try escargot -- even if it means that you don't look at it before tasting it.
  • When entering an establishment, say Bonjour/Bon soir to the shopkeeper before the shopkeeper says it to you.
  • Create a self-imposed chocolate tour and stop in as many chocolate shops as possible for a tasting
  • Enjoy a carafe of the house wine.  It's GOOD and CHEAP!
  • French kiss a Frenchie.
  • Explore the city by walking or renting a bicycle.
  • Sit on the outside patio of a cafe with a cup of espresso and people watch.
Top Things NOT to Do in Paris
  • Wear sneakers even though you aren't out for an actual run.  This is the fashion capital after all.
  • Look for a big American Breakfast!  The French enjoy an espresso and croissant in the morning -- save your big meal for dinner.
  • Be shocked at the numerous pick-pocket warnings at all of the popular tourist sites.
  • Be in a hurry.
