Know Paris Before You Arrive

Planning a trip to Paris should be exciting — not stressful.
For more than twenty years, we have welcomed travelers from all over the world, and one thing has become very clear: even the most experienced visitors can feel a little lost upon arrival.
Paris is captivating, vibrant, and unique — but it also has its own rhythm, its own codes, and its own way of life. Without a few essential reference points, it’s easy to miss what truly matters.

Every week, we meet travelers facing the same challenges:

• Not fully understanding how Parisians live;
• Missing key social cues or etiquette;
• Feeling unsure about safety and best practices;
• Being confused by public transportation;
• Not knowing what to do if they get sick abroad;
• Or simply struggling to organize their days efficiently.

It is to address these concerns — and many others — that Paris Webservices created this “Know Paris Before You Arrive” section.
After two decades of guiding, advising, assisting, and listening to thousands of visitors, we have learned what truly transforms a stressful stay into a smooth, authentic, and memorable travel experience.
