Day One in Paris 1h30
180 €
An hour and a half in a 2CV to see Paris and learn its rules: cafés, tipping, the metro, the scams. You leave with your survival kit.
What awaits you
the highlights
See Paris and learn how it works
The golden rule
Bonjour, coffee, the bill
Why everything starts with "bonjour", what "un café" really means, and why the bill never comes on its own.
Around town
Reading Paris on the move
How to read a Haussmann façade, survive the Étoile roundabout, and ride the metro with the right ticket.
The traps
What guidebooks don't tell you
The shell game at Trocadéro, the fake petitions, the pickpockets: I show you where and how, so you can laugh about it instead.
The stops
We stop the engine, you step out
Two photo stops where we actually park: Trocadéro and Bir-Hakeim Bridge. I take the photos with your phone and point out the scams to avoid along the way.
At the end, I hand you your "Day One in Paris" survival kit: the golden rules, the useful words and the traps to avoid, to keep for your whole stay.
Want real photos? I'm also a professional photographer.
