Paris is the most romantic capital of the world, with an abundance of sights - both historical and modern, about which any student knows by hearsay . Rent a car in Paris - it means to depend completely on ourselves, not to adapt to group excursions and not to survey this magnificent city from the windows of the tourist bus . But remember: Paris is very noisy and alive, both during the day and at night, the traffic here is lively and even erratic, although there are traffic lights or an operator at every intersection .

To rent a car in Paris means to depend completely on yourself, not to adapt to group excursions and not to view this magnificent city from the windows of the tourist bus.

In order to rent a car in the Parisian rolling offices, it will not be enough to have only national driving licenses on hand - you will need an international certificate. Be prepared also for age limits - the younger the driver, the more expensive the rent will be to him.

The approximate cost of a small, economical compact car, if you lease it at the airport, will be about 25-30 EUR per day.

Take the car you can rent at Paris airports, if you flew there, or in the rental companies and companies that are in the city a lot. The rules of road traffic in France are the same as everywhere in Europe. It is mandatory to fasten your seat belts, and it is also forbidden to talk on the phone while driving. Do not try to accelerate more than 50 km / h - this is a speed limit for traffic within the city.

Be especially careful with parking in Paris - almost everywhere it is paid, as evidenced by the relevant signs. It's unlikely that you will be able to park without problems near the most popular monuments and museums, and therefore you should drive as close to the center as possible, leave the car in the parking lot and go to explore the streets of Paris on foot.

Do not try to bribe the policeman who fined you, a fine on the receipt you can easily pay on the spot.

Magnificent Paris! What you need to see in it without fail, you hardly need to be reminded. However, now you have a car, and you will be able to do much more. So, do not delay the business in the long box, start your day early in the morning with a traditionally French breakfast in one of the coffee houses in Paris - coffee and a croissant. It is mandatory to visit the Louvre and other museums in Paris, but be prepared for the fact that the Louvre will have to spend a whole day.

There are many sights located outside the city. This magnificent royal palace Versailles at 21 km from Paris is the most popular tourist attraction in France. To avoid crowds of tourists, go here in the early morning or around 15-16 hours of the day. No less exciting is a trip to the city of Fontainebleau, and with children definitely worth going to the famous Disneyland - 32 km from Paris - with its entertainment, attractions and theme parks.
