Notes de valise pour Paris

  • Parisians dress quietly stylish — neutral colours, fitted tailoring, no athletic wear off the gym.
  • Cobblestones and metro stairs make wheeled luggage a chore — soft duffel or backpack wins.
  • Restaurants will let you in in jeans, but smart-casual gets better tables.
  • A compact umbrella belongs in every bag from October to April.

Indispensables pour Paris

  • Comfortable but smart shoes (15k+ steps a day is normal)
  • Compact umbrella
  • One smart-casual evening outfit
  • Crossbody bag (pickpockets work the metro)

À laisser à la maison

  • Bulky daypack
  • Athletic wear unless you're running
  • American-style baseball cap

Conseils locaux

  • Tap water is safe and free in cafés — bring a reusable bottle.
  • Many museums close on Mondays or Tuesdays; check before packing your itinerary.
