24 Hours in Paris Before a Mediterranean Cruise (What We'd Do Differently)

We added a full day in Paris before hopping on our Mediterranean cruise - and we did a LOT of things wrong. From tourist trap restaurants to a hotel early check-in scam, water that costs more than wine, and a very unexpected run-in with a pickpocket... we're breaking it all down so you don't make the same mistakes we did. We also stumbled on some hidden gems - a local outdoor market, a gorgeous secret courtyard, and a grocery store hack that fed four people for €7. Plus the locals gave us some advice at the end of our trip that honestly changed how we think about Paris entirely.
