PARIS: Stylish, Practical Tips For Your Trip Including Where to Eat and Stay

• Your number one mode of transportation will be your feet!  Don’t wear uncomfortable or new (I’ve made that mistake) shoes.  Fortunately, lots of Parisians are running around in these…

• Metro  It’s relatively easy to navigate… buy a carnet (packet of 10 for a better deal)…don’t throw away your ticket until you walk through the gate at your destination stop.  Our son, Tommy did when he was younger and we had to pay an on-the-spot fine.  Try this I-Tunes App.
• Uber  Yes, we had good luck with it in Paris. It becomes more economical when there are more than two of you

 Accommodations

• Hotels:  Check out Tablet Hotels.  For smaller, boutique hotels, we like Hotel La Voisier in our old neighborhood (8th arrondissement).  And just recently, we stayed at the Hotel Baltimore (16th arrondissement).  Ask if breakfast is included…nice start to the day.

We got to Hotel Baltimore early straight from the U.S. and look what they served us in the lobby while we waited.

Don’t you love ironed sheets?

• Apartments to Rent.  We have had good luck with Haven In Paris.  We stayed here before.  This one comes with a great kitchen and Howard shopped at his favorite markets in our old neighborhood.  My sister said that his dinner was the best she had in Paris.
