When I was in Paris, i was ripped of by people selling things on those carts in the street, i bought 3 postcards and it ended up costing me like 15 CDN, i was really pissed off because i did not catch it until i was gone from the cart. Keep an eye on these dodghy buggers, and make sure the price for the card is what they are charging you.

And Keep an eye out around tourist attraction for hustlers trying to sell you crap, they can be aggresive sometimes , more when i comes to women i noticed and the police did not seem to care.

There are bathrooms outside of some attrations and you have to pay to use them, so make sure you have you change because the people who staff them i found can be very rude and do not care if you "REALLY HAVE TO GO"
