If it comes into contact with metal, it will demagnetize and the tickets will not work: the machine will reject them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If this happens to you and there is a booth nearby, cross the line and go directly to the cashier. Hand him your tickets and tell them they don&#039;t work, they need to be changed. And don&#039;t keep your tickets in your wallet\u2026. how practical.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>By the way, you should have your metro ticket handy while you&#039;re still on the metro - there are controls and if you don&#039;t have a valid ticket, you&#039;ll get a fine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>2 \u2013 Beware of private limo drivers approaching you at the airport<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>They will tell you that they charge like a regular taxi driver, but it is not true. They charge more and it&#039;s not legal. This isn&#039;t dangerous per se, it&#039;s just not a good idea...<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Some of them are private limousine drivers, others are just ordinary people without any taxi licenses and often without taxi insurance...<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Go to the taxi line like everyone else.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>3 \u2013 Avoid restaurant patios unless you like cigarette smoke<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It&#039;s sad but true. After the 2007 law banning smoking in pubs, all smokers go to &quot;la terasa&quot;, which is outside and therefore exempt from the law.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Smokers now rule the French patios, so avoid sitting there if you can&#039;t stand the smell of cigarette smoke.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>4 \u2013 Don&#039;t plan to visit museums on Monday or Tuesday<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Many Parisian museums are closed on Mondays or Tuesdays and on public holidays, so be sure to check their opening days before you go.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>5 \u2013 Traveling in the subway with suitcases<\/strong><strong> or<\/strong><strong> cart<\/strong><strong>a<\/strong><strong> probably <\/strong><strong>it won&#039;t be easy for you<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Be prepared to face long walks and stairs...especially if you need to connect between lines.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The \u201cplan de m\u00e9tro\u201d does not say how long the connection is: some take up to 15 minutes of brisk walking with at least 6 flights of stairs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>6 \u2013 Do not bring large suitcases to Paris<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Compared to the US, things are smaller in Paris: car trunks, elevators...
