Questions You Should Never Ask in Paris

Paris, Tuileries Garden, Vicki Archer


Reading these tongue in cheek questions-not-to ask-in-Paris from Suzy Strutner of the Huffington Post really had me smiling.

I thought you would have a giggle over them.


1.

Where is Note-er-dayme?

It’s Notre-Dame de Paris , not the football university.


2.

Can I get this to go?

Takeaway is still a bit of a no no in Paris


3.

Dressing on the side? A skinny latte?

French cuisine is usually about more not less.


4.

Where is the Eiffel Tower?

As if you could miss it :)


Invalides, Paris, Vicki Archer


5.

Is the Tour de France in town right now?

It’s a once a year race and every Parisian knows exactly when and where.


6.

Where can I buy a beret?

Wearing a beret is not what we want to do.


7.

What perfume are you wearing?

French women may not share their innermost secrets with a stranger.


8.

Can you take one more photo of me jumping at the Trocadero?

Done and done.


rue Cler, Paris, Vicki Archer


and one of my own,

Should my streetwear always match the bistro chairs?

I couldn’t resist snapping this guy on rue Cler in the 7th… perfect colour co-ordination :)


A little fun for a new week.

Have you got any embarrassing Parisian questions that we could add to the list?

I am sure we could think of some more… xv
