People used to forget about finding information of what should be avoided. Because culture and life style differ from every places , therefore these tips below would be really valuable for you.


It may take quite long time for your coffee.
In Paris, people not just take-and-drink a, they also spend time tasting the beverage, talking their friends, and watching people around. When Starbucks opened in Paris, some cultural critics were questioning whether  the French would change this habit to taking their drinks to the street. Although the French also love Starbucks and their shops offer packed drinks, but they still keep their habit this way.
Because of that, service in café’ shops is slower but it does not mean the service is low-quality as well. There are less staff but more tables, However, they've worked in the similar coffee shop for many years. If you're hurried, you still can a beverage at the bar. You'll save some euros and you will be served very fast.

Do not throw Out Your Ticket at the subway
You must hold on your purple ticket till you get out the station. The Metro Police at times stand at the exit doors, and employ handheld digital scanner, inspect all passing tickets. If you do not have your ticket, you'll be required to pay a 35€ fine instantly.

Do not use the Bir Hakeim Station to visit the Eiffel Tower through the Trocadéro Metro Stop.
Almost tour books suggest reaching the Eiffel Tower by the Bir Hakeim subway stop. Technically, this is the nearest stop, but exit at the Trocadéro station straightly across the Seine River rather. Walk across the grounds of the Palais de Challot, and marvel at the scene of the Eiffel Tower bordered by reflective ponds and dancing founts. Cross the Seine on the Pont D'Iena and be astonished at how impressive the Eiffel Tower is when you're getting closer.

Do not wait for ice in your beverage
Parisians don't used to add ice to their beverages. Rather than complain and calling for ice, which the café will not have, you may be satisfied with the cooled drink is served at your table by the server in an deluxe glass, with a lemon twist.

Afternoon is not the good time for visiting the Department Stores
In the afternoons, tourists often go there after spending the whole mornings for sightseeing at museums. Virtually, hundreds of tourists pour out of buses and into the Printemps and the Galeries Lafayette. It's difficult to pass through the crowds. So, it is a good idea to visit the shops at opening : about 10a.m, and be savoring a café creme at 2pm when the crowds come.

Do not take a Cab
It’s better to walk or get the métro. Paris is a crowded city, almost 6 miles crossed, and no building in this city is over some hundred yards from a Subway station. In Paris, cabs are high-priced, moreover, you not only pay by distance but also the amount of time in the cab. Therefore, whenever you get stuck in traffic jam and the meter is still running, the cost of  even just a short trip may be very high.
