Do you ever recommend public transportation


Recommended Posts

The few times I've ever approached a concierge with a question about how to get someplace in a strange city, my wife is always in stitches before I reach the desk. She knows the answer I'll get. "Take a taxi." I'm not a very high power type guy and enjoy wondering back streets of strange cities and negotiating subway systems even in cites with languages I can't read and alphabets or symbols I can't decipher. Paris is a pretty easy city to get around in by bus or subway for anyone who knows the latin alphabet. It's not Shanghai or Tokyo. Do you assume your clients want a taxi?

Sure! And many clients like to adventure as yourself! Also this is very handy to suggest when there are traffic problems, adverse weather conditions,etc

I've used public transportation in Paris, depending on the location of the restaurant and on the type of shoes I am wearing. For example, Lucas-Carton is right at the Madelaine stop. Les Ambassadeurs is very close to a subway station, as is the Pierre Herme Bonaparte store.
