Luggage is easily accommodated on these lines. To navigate the city with minimal hassle, purchase a Paris Visite transportation card at any Metro station. They can be purchased for two, three or five days of unlimited both bus and Metro travel and will get you as far as Disneyland Paris and both airports. For one day, buy a Formule 1 ticket. However, if you're staying in Paris the entire trip, don't even consider renting.
Traffic is confusing, heavy and intimidating, and street parking spaces are rare at best.
Travel agents also have access to hotel reservation groups where discounts sometimes are available. Nevertheless, a well-situated residential apartment rental may be preferable for parties of three or more who wish togetherness without the cramped intimacy of a hotel. Equipped with the proper plastic, you may hit up your home bank account, at the latest currency-exchange rate, at ATMs that carry a Visa or MasterCard logo. Have some francs in your pocket before you leave the airport, either from your home bank or airport exchange stations. Cabbies and other services are not fond of foreign currency unless there is a large profit to be made.
