TRAVEL TIPS

  • Download the Google translate app - it's a very handy resource for being able to quickly translate menus, signs, conversations, etc.

  • Get Euros at your local bank so you'll have some available once you arrive in France

  • Check with your bank, as well as your credit card company, to see if they have a foreign transaction fee

  • Let your bank and credit card companies know that you will be traveling out of the country so that your funds will not be held or frozen due to unusual activity

  • Split up your cash and only carry what is needed for the day

  • Program important phone numbers you might need such as: hotels, taxi services, etc.
