Paris Transportation

By Anne Parois in Paris  |  1 year ago  |  0 comments

A carnet of ten tickets (11.60 euros for central Paris), valid on metro, RER, bus and tram, is cheaper than buying individual tickets (1.60 euros). Tickets should be validated when you get onto the bus or go through the metro barrier. Hold onto your ticket in case of spot inspections and to get out of RER stations.

Metro is open from 5.30am to 0.30am, extended until around 1am on Friday and Saturday nights.

By Anne Parois in Paris  |  1 year ago  |  0 comments

The Louvre is free the first Sunday of every month, but everybody knows this - so the queues are vast. But you can visit it at half the price on Wednesday and Friday evenings, between 6 and 9:45pm.

Dear friends from abroad, don't worry if you don't know how much to tip in France!

The tip is included in the check note and represents 15% of the amount.

If you're satisfied with the services, you can leave a few coins on the table, depending also on the total check.

Even if you have a very long hair, you will dry your hair in 15 minutes if you use this technique: 1. Take a very smooth towel and gently press your hair with 2. With your head down, use your both hands passing the fingers through the locks. 3. Slowly move your head in the air, in small circles. This is also good for your neck. Optionally, use some styling moose to maximize the volume.

Don't add too many fish into an aquarium

By Anne Parois in Anywhere  |  1 year ago  |  0 comments

Don't add too many fish into an aquarium. Always check that the size of your aquarium is appropriate to the number of your fish. A fish can live for 10 years if it is happy. All he needs is space to swim and a clean aquarium.
