Default Paris'tips and experiences

Me and my wife went on that 2CV (you know that old typical French car you see in the movies)car ride and i strongly recommend it to everyone. The driver was an authentic parisian (except he was actually really friendly ahah) who told us random stories about the city and France in general. They stopped in front of every main monument to let us take pictures or sometimes even took the pictures for us and the view was just breahttaking. We could stand up (even though the car is so cosy you don't feel like standing up) to take advantage of the view on the Champs Elysees etc... I mean it was such a great typical experience we actually decided to do it again. So the next time they picked us up from the restaurant and drove us around (Moulin Rouge, at the foot of the Eiffel tower, Notre Dame,...), with all the night enlightments etc..+there was litteraly no traffic,we definitely appreciated that bottle of Champagne they let us took in the car. Finally they drove us around Montmartre in some tiny streets and places only locals know so i WON'T hop on any of those touristy buses ever again.

PS: for the tip the name of their web site is parisauthentic.com but don't trust the web site's bad quality it doesn't reflect the quality of the service

Default Personal shopping in Paris

Aside from the usual sceneries, you can also enjoy shopping at Paris. St. Germain des Pres is one place where you could select boutiques offering luxury clothing and other items.

A lot of tourists would assume that Paris is an expensive place but if you have your own tour guide in Paris, it's easier to travel around and buy items because a personal shopper in Paris can show you which shops has the latest sale, trendy items and discounts offered. They can even let you explore the unknown Paris including off-beaten tours you've never been.

Shopping in Paris is great but the funniest thing I've ever seen was a guy who wanted to get out of a parking spot with one car in front of him and one behind him with maybe an inch in between. He simply pushed the two cars away, gave me a grin and drove off. Now that's what I call creative driving.
