Food & drink

Boulangerie over hotel breakfast every day

Croissant and coffee for €4 at a corner bakery. Look for "Artisan Boulanger".

Heads up

Louvre: enter through the Carrousel entrance

Much shorter line than the pyramid. Book a time slot anyway.

Tourist trap

Montmartre portrait artists will pressure you

They start drawing before you agree. Just smile and walk on.

Hidden gem

Musée de la Vie Romantique is a quiet escape

Free garden café in Montmartre. Lovely spot to rest your feet.

Getting around

Vélib' bikes are great for short hops

Easy app, lots of stations, and the bike lanes are much better now.

Tourist trap

Restaurants facing Notre-Dame are overpriced and mediocre

€19 croque monsieur that tasted microwaved. Cross to the Left Bank, two streets back, and prices drop by half.

Safety

Pickpockets on Line 1 near the Louvre are real

Watched it happen twice in one ride. Front pocket or a zipped cross-body bag, especially at Châtelet.

Getting around

Navigo Easy card is the move for a short trip

Load a stack of tickets, tap and go. Cheaper than singles and no paper to lose.

Hidden gem

Canal Saint-Martin picnic at golden hour

Grab wine and cheese from the shops on Rue de Lancry. Locals everywhere, zero tour groups.
