Enjoy Paris like the locals do.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Each year, millions of tourists flock to <\/span>Paris<\/span><\/a> to enjoy a warm baguette and a stroll down The Seine. Tourism is a major source of income for the City of Light, and it continues to rank as one of the world\u2019s most visited places. Whether you\u2019re visiting Paris for the first or fifth time, it helps to go<\/span> prepared<\/span><\/a>. Discover how to enjoy the city like a local!<\/span><\/p>\n

Speak French (even if you only know \u2018bonjour\u2019)<\/span><\/h2>\n

Whenever you travel to a new country or city, it\u2019s considered a sign of respect to speak the native language. If you don\u2019t know French, consider learning a few words or phrases before your trip. Free<\/span> apps<\/span><\/a> like Duolingo help users gain foreign language pronunciation and vocabulary skills necessary for traveling abroad. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dress the Part <\/span><\/h2>\n

New York City and Paris have one important thing in common: fashion. Street fashion isn\u2019t just an option in Paris; it\u2019s a way of life. If you want to blend in with the locals, consider wearing your best attire. Peruse photographs of the autumn\/winter 2018 fashion week shows, but don\u2019t be afraid to incorporate your personal style. <\/span><\/p>\n

Wear Comfortable Shoes <\/span><\/h2>\n

The locals may be fashionable, but they still tend to travel everywhere by foot. Paris is a walkable city, and walking is a convenient way to get around. Often the most interesting and charming aspects of Paris aren\u2019t listed on the map, but you can come across them when you explore. <\/span><\/p>\n

Take Your Time <\/span><\/h2>\n

Whether you spend two weeks or two days in Paris, it\u2019s important to take your time. Pick the sights that you want to see, and spend the day committed to those locations. Don\u2019t rush through the Louvre just because you also want to see the Notre Dame before sundown. Ensure that you have enough time to enjoy a coffee at a local cafe, and to explore the small parks in the nearby neighborhoods. <\/span><\/p>\n
