Paris has anything and everything a tourist would want in a city. When visiting, it is important that you plan ahead. Here, we tell you about the things you should avoid doing when in the city. Be sure to take notes. First of all, limit your meals to famous brasseries. While you may have heard of this place or that place, it is wise that you limit your time there. Most of the time, these belong to big chains that are taking advantage of their popularity. The price to quality ratio is something you don’t want to know. Next, make sure to explore other shopping areas than the grands magasins. I know it’s tempting. I know there are cheap finds in these amazing department stores. But Paris is more than just these places. You may find the famous Marais or the Golden Triangle. While I agree these places have treasures and troves, you should also make sure to explore. Once in a while, you will find shopping centers in street corners that can be a shopaholic’s heaven. One other reminder is not to dine in touristy areas. You can get one or two meals for the whole duration of your vacation. But get all your meals from these places alone. Paris has more to offer than these famous joints. Make sure as well to plan ahead of the museums you’re going to visit. As such, do not ever skip smaller museums. They’re as amazing as the bigger ones.
