  • Reviews and Ratings: Check both the ratings and reviews from fellow Americans. After all, even the aura of the hotel matters.

Tips for American Tourists Staying in Paris

  • French culture is a lot about being polite and a little bit formal. So greet the people with “Bonjour” (good morning) or “Bonsoir” (good evening) to start the conversion.
  • Learning some basics of the French language can make communication easier. It will also make you feel more connected.
  • Central areas like the Marais or Saint-Germain-des-Prรฉs make exploring the landmarks and the whole city easier. For a quieter neighborhood or a relaxing business trip, you can go to Montmartre or the Latin Quarters.
  • Booking in advance can help you get everything at a cheaper rate, especially during peak season (summer holidays).
