- Frommer's France 2007 is not accurate and thorough with a lot of information
- DO NOT go through Rail Europe to buy a Eurail Pass or any rail tickets. It's much easier and cheaper when done directly through the French SNCF
- With a Eurail/ France Saver Pass, it is free to travel on the intercity trains as many times as you wish within the validity period of the pass
- Every arrondisement in Paris has its own fresh markets. The Mairie or town hall/ tourism office and their website has info about the days/ location. The produce is simply marvelous and will save you some euros compared to the SuperMarche
- For apartment rentals, you need not go through an agency. You will end up paying an additional 500 euros for nothing. Also, before getting the "mandatory" insurance, check with the owners if they already have one that covers your apartment
- Many museums & monuments in Paris have free entry on the first Sunday of every month
- With a Bank of America ATM card, you can withdraw cash at any BNP Paribas ATM without paying a fee to either bank
