Taxis
Taxi charges are fairly reasonable - between ?6.10 and ?10.67 for a central daytime journey, though considerably more if you call one out. There are three different fare rates: indicator lights on the roof of the taxi tell you which fare is being applied. "A" indicates the daytime rate (7am-7pm; around ?0.53/km) for Paris and the boulevard peripherique; "B" is the rate for Paris at night (7pm-7am), on Sundays and on public holidays, and for the suburbs during the day (around ?0.83/km); "C" is the night rate for the suburbs (?1.07/km). When you get into the taxi, check that the meter shows the appropriate fare rate. In addition, there's a pick-up charge of around ?1.98 and a time charge (around ?18.29/hr) for when the car is stationary, an additional ?0.76 charge if you're picked up from a mainline train station, and a ?0.95 charge per piece of luggage. Taxis will often refuse to take more than three people (they don't like you to sit in the front seat); if they do take you, they'll charge extra for the fourth person (about ?1.37). Tipping is not mandatory, but ten percent will be expected. Finding one of Paris's 470 taxi ranks ( arret taxi ) is usually better than trying to hail one down in the street. The large white light means the taxi is free; the orange light below means it's engaged.

Paris, a guideMs. Gousteou says "Despite popular belief Paris didn't suffer from the Germans as much as normally believed. In fact, many people from Paris actually appreciated the Germans and for many life did not change too drastically. I suggest doing a background check on the different places in Paris you might go in order to develope a wide array of information so that you may better understand what you are experiencing and seeing through the guide of others.
