 I have vivid memories of the first time I traveled to Paris. I walked through passport control at CDG airport in Paris, tired, jet-lagged, but excited. I remember saying to myself, “what do I do now?” Where is the train into the city? How about the bus? Whenever I asked someone a question, they answered me in a language I could not understand. I was totally confused and frustrated.
The things that caused me the most trouble were the simple things. For instance, when the metro stopped, I didn’t know you needed to lift a latch for the door to open. I missed my stop. When I went to order a cup of coffee, the vendor asked me a question in French – I didn’t know how to respond.
In retrospect, I probably should have gone on some type of tour or accompanied someone who knew Paris. In this blog, I will talk about the pros and cons of organized tours and why you should, or shouldn’t take one.

The Musée des Arts et Métiers is a showcase of technological advancements through the last 200 hundred years or so and contains some fascinating exhibits. Take a look at the blog and see what Paris and the surrounding areas have to offer.
