WHAT IS GOOD?//HOW NOT TO ACT LIKE A TOURIST//OUGD505

HOW NOT TO ACT LIKE A TOURIST IN PARIS:

DO'S:
  • Be suspicious when restaurant menus are in English.
  • Be open to informal chats with your neighbors when having a drink in cafés.
  • Look for restaurants with young and mix-cultured chefs (i.e. Kei in the 1st or La Contre-Allée in the 14th)
  • Spend an afternoon at La Gaité Lyrique (3rd), the newly opened digital art place.
  • Organise an aperitif/lunch in your nearest public park, i.e. Champ de Mars, Tuileries… Just get some saucisson, red wine, a wide range of different cheeses and fresh baguettes
  • Try cafés nearby rue Montorgueil or around the Jardin du Luxembourg.
  • On a Sunday morning, go for a local food watching in one of the numerous open-air food markets.
  • Visit Palais de Tokyo, the Arty Contemporary Art Museum with the hippest crowd.
  • Spend some time at the oldest Roman remains, the Arènes de Lutèce (5th), then walk on Rue Mouffetard down to Saint-Médard Parish.
