About

"The evolving Francophile..."

My husband Jack has always wanted to live in Paris and learn French. I thought it would be good for him to achieve his life time dream. Hence, we moved to Paris in 2008. My first year was difficult. I started "missives" to relieve some stress and chronicle my life so friends back in the US could read what I am experiencing. I currently write about food in Paris, which is my passion., travel experiences, and "experiences living in Paris."

It is definitely a challenge to live here, but each year it gets easier, and quite enjoyable, in large part because I value friendships over locale. I have a love/hate relationship with Paris as do most Parisians, mais La vie est belle (but life is good)!

TAXI SCAMS


 

As we get closer to heading back to Paris in a few days, I’m reminded of all those fake taxi drivers trying to pull me away from the official taxi line at the airport. 

As tourism season peaks—and with so many people planning trips to Paris—this is definitely something to keep in mind.

Here’s a great video on how to avoid these scams, plus helpful tips on getting into the city from CDG. Beyond taxis, consider safe and reliable alternatives like the RER B, Roissybus, or official airport shuttles—they’re often cheaper, efficient, and much harder to get scammed on.
