Great tip Corinne, and so much better value than the London equivalent! I love the little metro tickets though and always keep hold of them for souvenirs.
Ooh… me too! For over a year, I kept a used metro ticket in my coat pocket. Every time I touched it, it brought me instant memories of Paris. Can’t say that London tickets trigger the same sentiments, but they do make me long for another visit.
Loving your tips on Paris – sent my friend your way the other day when he asked about where to eat in paris. When I finally get there – your blog is going to make me look like a local!
Thank you! That’s lovely of you to remember 🙂 And if my website makes you feel like a local, I’d be very honoured!
