Hi! My husband and I will be in Paris for a week in May. Our first
trip to Europe and I have LOTS of questions! ANY and ALL tips and
information is WELCOME!!!!!! I live in US.
1. Currency - what is the easiest way to handle this? Take cash and
convert it? Where would I do that? I called my CC company and they
charge 3% on everything I charge!! If I take money from an ATM using
my CC, I’m charged 3% as well, minimum charge of $10! If I take cash
over then convert it, am I charged a fee?
2. Hotel transfer - Our hotel is in the 14th district, we are flying
into De Gaulle airport. What would be the easiest, most cost
effective way to get to hotel?
3. Dinners - how much should I expect to pay for meals? Examples
would be great!! When we went to Hawaii, I was so shocked by meal
prices, so I would like to have an idea before hand! :D
4. What do people generally shop for in Paris? I have a friend who
bought over 20 pairs of shoes!!! Is designer apparel less expensive
over there? Any suggestions on a nice momento to bring home?
That’s all I can think of right now! I’m sure I’ll have more
questions to come! I did purchase "Paris for Dummies" and a couple
other books but have found conflicting info so not sure what to go by!
Thank you!
Edited to add:
Electricity convertor!! I need one!! Where do I go for these? Do
they work well?
Computer use. We will not be taking our laptop with us. Are there
places over there where I can check my email?
Thanks again! |
