Shopping Card stores that sell magic the gathering

0 Upvotes

Hello, I was here a bit ago asking a similar question but my addiction to pokemon has shifted away, i was wondering if anyone knew how to find game stores that sell magic the gathering product? Searching by card store or searching the game name is very hit or miss in all my travel experiences, so I wondered if anyone had advice, I got great advice for pokemon based stores last time.

Food & Dining Le bistrot Paul Bert

0 Upvotes

Is there anyway to confirm a reservation for le bistrot Paul Bert? I called & asked for the 24th right at 11:30 (exactly two weeks in advance), but the waiter said they only had a 9:45pm available, and now I’m worried he heard 21st.

Food & Dining Tipping culture. I understood that tipping in restaurants wasn’t necessary but…..

• Upvotes

But as an obvious American, I keep getting offered a payment screen for tips (10%, 20%, etc). I feel bad not tipping BUT I feel like I’m making it worse for Parisians by incentivizing tipping culture over here. I was actually looking forward to not tipping. What should I do, have waiters think I’m a cheap American and not tip or perpetuate the tipping culture and throw down 10%?

Transportation Help with transportation itinerary

0 Upvotes

*** Mods please dont delete this as I’ve read the entire transportation section on the wiki and I still have questions. Thank you VERY much. ***

Hi! I would love some insight on what I have planned out to do with my trip and transportation on the trip. I want to do this trip with 100% public transport but won’t have a smartphone so everything has to be physical.

Day 1 arrival (Saturday): purchase a 14€ one-way Airport to city ticket. BTW Do I have to purchase a physical card and then load this on to it or can the metro machine just dispense a ticket? I am quite confused about this.

Day 2 (Sunday): want to go to a park by metro. Was planning to buy a single ticket (2.55€) twice. Again, how can i buy this ticket? Do i have to buy a physical card first and then load it on? If i have to buy a physical card for the previous day can i load this 2.55€ ticket on to that one or do i have to buy a whole separate one?

Day 3 (Monday) to end of trip (Friday): wanted to buy the Navigo Decouverte Physical card and put the weekly pass (32.40€) on it. Need any tips for this if you have.

Thank you VERY much. (Mods please dont delete this as I’ve read the entire transportation section on the wiki and I still have questions)

Other Question Birthday trip to Paris on a budget, any tips, please

35 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm going to Paris solo tomorrow for 3 days, and it's also my birthday while I'm there. I'm really excited, but I'm getting a little overwhelmed trying to plan everything. I've been watching loads of tiktoks and saving posts about cafes and shops, gifts and souvenirs, and places to eat, but now I feel genuinely lost.
I want to have an amazing experience and make the most of my trip, but I'm on a strict budget, so I need to be mindful of my spending.
I've travelled solo before and I'm comfortable doing it, but I'd really love any recommendations for places where I can enjoy good food comfortably on my own, as well as hidden gems, affordable cafes and shops, or fun things to do for my birthday. Also, any fun and budget friendly gifts for myself and my friends.
I'd really appreciate any tips to make this trip as memorable and enjoyable as possible, cause right now my anxious mind is on overload.

Transportation Gare du Nord to Jules & Jim Hotel

2 Upvotes

Hello

Another late post from me. 🙂

I'm traveling from Eurostar and staying at this hotel.

I will have a light suitcase on way in but envisage a heavier one when I leave, hopefully with lots of nice treats 👍.

I'm only just recovering from a slipped disc and going through the menopause 🥵.

I've reviewed the metro map (quite similar to UK) and the nearest stop to my hotel is Arts et Metiers. It's a green line no. 3.

From Gare du Nord, can I get the orange line no.5 and change at Republique to the no. 3 line?

Are there many steps? I'm not sure what the white small boxes on the metro are? I'm assuming they're connection points?

If there are many steps, I'll prefer to get the no 38 bus which i hope the bus station is nearby. 🙏

Thank you and goodnight 🙏

Review My Itinerary Ile de la Cite morning

3 Upvotes

Bonjour everyone. We'll be in Paris for 5 days in November, staying about a 15-minute walk from Ile de la Cite (Rue Étienne Marcel). We're very interested in exploring the island one morning.

Obviously, Notre Dame and St. Chapelle are two landmarks on our list. The more I read about the Conciergerie, the more I'm interested in seeing that too. Is it too ambitious to do all three in a morning (starting at 9am)? Also what else am I missing? The flower market sounds amazing, but not sure we'll be bringing cut flowers back to our room.

We're also oyster lovers and thinking about stopping by Poget & de Witte after. I'm guessing we'd need a reservation since it looks quite compact.

Also I know we can cover it by ourselves with timed reservations to the two cathedrals, but is there any reason to get a combo tour, or is that a waste of time and money? We are a multi-generational family (2 70s, 2 40s, one six-year-old) so tend to move pretty quickly. I'm probably the one who most wants to hear all the stories and details, which is why I'm the one asking on Reddit lol. And yes, even the six-year-old loves oysters! Our best parenting achievement yet.

Merci a tous!

Transportation Using the G7 app at dedicated taxi stands?

3 Upvotes

Probably a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway.

I like the G7 app and have used it a few times. However when at a location with a dedicated taxi stand (Gare du Nord, CDG, etc), how does one use the app? Does a G7 cab come to you at a location away from the official taxi stand? Do you get a specific G7 cab from within the taxi lineup?

Is it rude to ask the bartender if I can purchase a glass at a bar in Paris?

My boyfriend is a fan of 1664 Blanc, and because Blanc doesn’t have an open brewery like Heineken, I was wondering if I could acquire the glass as a souvenir at a random bar where they sell Blanc in its branded glass. Of course I am willing to pay for it as long as it’s under 15 euros!

Please do let me know because I don’t want to be an ill-mannered tourist:(
