III - Arriving in Paris and how to get to your Hotel

You are now north-east of Paris if you landed at Charles de Gaulle
Roissy Airport, south-east if you arrived at Orly Airport.
There are different ways to get into the city, but first, check if you
have change in French Francs with you, if not, get some inside the
Airport terminal.

Now you can take a cab, waiting in line outside of the main entrance
of each terminal. The cost will be 120 to 250 Francs according to
destination, time and traffic conditions. Tip is minimum 10 %.
There also buses that can take you to Paris (not at your hotel), check
inside in Airport terminal.
For Limousine service, you will find a "Voiture de Classe" waiting
outside (written on the windscreen). Be sure to ask for the price to
avoid any misunderstanding.

	Checking into your hotel :

During the busy season and because of the late check out time, if you
arrived in Paris in the early morning, you might have to wait to check
in. The check out time is usually at noon, so your room may not be
ready yet. Just mention "politely" to the receptionist how tired you
feel and your room should be ready shortly.
But if you have enough energy to stay up a few hours more, then leave
your luggage at the hotel, go to a "Cafe" or "Brasserie" nearby and
enjoy your first day in Paris with a nice breakfast.
Then...goodnight !

V - HELPFUL HINTS AND PRACTICAL POINTERS


	1 - PUBLIC HOLIDAYS

The major public holidays in France are :
January 1st, Easter, Easter Monday, Ascension thrusday, May 1st (labor
Day), May 8th (end of World War II), Whit Monday, July 14th (bastille
day), August 15th, November 1st, November 11th and Christmas.
On those days, banks, shops and almost everything else will be closed.
Make sure you have enough money and while riding in the country side a
full tank of gas.


	2- VOLTAGE

Most of France has switched to 220-230 volts AC, although a few parts 
may still run on 110-115volts. Current alternates at 50 cycles, not
the 60 in use in the United States of America.
If you are bringing shavers, travel irons, hair dryers or whatever,
take along a voltage transformer. Remember the outlet prongs are
shapped differently also.


	3- LOST PROPERTY

If property is lost in a subway or bus, go immediatly to the terminal 
point of one or the other, and you may find it there.
Otherwise, 48 hours later, call :
The Lost and Found Office
Prefecture de Police
Bureau des Objets trouves
36, rue des morillons 75015 Paris, ph : 01.45.31.14.80;,
Metro: Convention
Open daily, except Saturdays, Sundays and vacations, 8:30 am to 5:00 
pm.Tuesdays and Thrusdays till 8:00 pm.
Anything lost will be returned to this office. It is wise to report to
the district Commissariat de Police if you know exactly where you lost
the item in question. If found you will be required to pay 4% of the
item's value for the service. Lost property is held for one year and 
one day.


	4- Conversion Tables

	5 - How to make a phone call

To call abroad from France you will have to dial 00,
then the country's code followed by the phone number.
To call Paris from a region of France or vice-versa, just dial direct
the 10 figures number. You will do the same to call a region from 
another region.
To call within a region or a region from another region just dial 
direct the 10 figure number.
Some Rates :

	USA/CANADA - 2.97 Francs per minute
	JAPAN/AUSTRALIA - 6.55 Francs per minute
	UK/NETHERLANDS - 2.47 Francs per minute

(To avoid any misunderstanding ask for the rate of Tax on phone calls 
at the reception desk of your Hotel).

	6 - Rent a Car

First, let's take a look at some important information about renting 
a car in France. 
Rates include maintenance and oil. Special conditions for "rent it 
here, leave it there". Unlimited public liability and property 
insurance and comprehensive coverage against loss of the vehicle by
fire and theft. The renter is responsible for collision damage to the
rented vehicle up to a certain limit according to car categories.
You may get an optional insurance for any collision of the renter's 
esponsability for an additional daily charge.
Gazoline is not included in the rates. The price may vary slightly by
region. The renter must be in possession of a valid driving licence
for at least one year. Minimum age is 23 years old and 21 for credit
card holders.
For any rental in France, you can ask for a reservation at the 
reception desk of your hotel or contact the central reservation
of a car rental company.


	7 - Duty free shopping
	
Visitor to France may have the French value added tax deducted from
goods bought in the country. In France, VAT is called "taxe sur la
valeur ajoutee" TVA, it goes up to 20.6% or 22%. Note that not all
shops apply the duty free sales system.

Who benefits from the duty free sales ?
any person, 15 years old and over who is resident abroad when 
purchasing the goods and travelling through France for less than six
months. At the time of purchase you must be able, as a foreigner, to
prove your identity. These facilities do not apply to embassy staff
and similar categories, students and trainees, immigrant workers who
are resident in France.

Everything can bought duty-free except foods either solid or liquid,
tobacco, medecines, fire arms (however, smooth bore shotguns and range
rifles, firing guns and small hand guns may be bought duty free),
works of art, collector's items and antiques. Nevertheless, you may
buy tax-free contemporary works of art in certain cases. Information
is available from "the Comite Professionnel des Galeries d'Art"
located 83, rue du Faubourg Saint Honor' in the 8th district, phone
number is 01.42.66.66.62.
Also private means of transport, cars, boats, planes and the
corresponding spares and equipment. However, car radios and cassette
players as well as sports articles such as bicycles, sailing and
surfing boards, may be bought free of tax.

Finally purchases of a commercial nature such as those made in large
amounts.

You can claim duty-free allowances at the time of purchase, the
assistant will give you an export sales invoice, "bordereau" in
French, made up of three pages, which you sign and have validated.
The purchases, inclusive of tax, from any single store must, at least
amount to 4 200 Francs per item either single or made up of differents
parts if you are resident in the E.E.C, 2 000 Francs whatever the
amount if you are resident in any other country.

	4 - Rail Transportation 

Long-distance train services in France are operated by the SNCF;
most "regional" trains are operated by SNCF on behalf of regional 
authorities according to DIFFERENT rules, tariffs etc.  Details of 
regional train services are not widely available outside France
(Info on Minitel "3615 TER"). For info on public transport in the 
Paris area, consult http://www.ratp.fr/ or Minitel "3615 RATP".

Applicable to travel wholly on SNCF network (summary only - 
check if in doubt): Info + Reservations via Minitel "3615 SNCF" 
or phone: +33.1.45.82.50.50. No Web service in Europe at present.

Basic non-TGV 2nd class fares depend on the distance by rail as 
follows: (rounded up to a whole number of French francs, plus any 
terminal charge)

Distance   constant +  NEW price per km
<   8  km     6.45  +   0.2586
  9 -  39     2.37  +   0.8840
 40 -  79    12.41  +   0.6336
 80 - 149    17.47  +   0.5838
150 - 249    29.97  +   0.5001
250 - 389    43.24  +   0.4471
380 - 599    60.39  +   0.4033
600 - 899    83.19  +   0.3654
900 - 1299  111.76  +   0.3338
> 1300 km   142.49  +   0.3098
First class non-TGV fares are approx. 50% higher, except during
July and August when a flat extra charge of 50 FRF is made. (Non-TGV
first-class coaches have a yellow stripe just below roof level);
TGV fares (including the compulsory reservation, which can be made up 
to the scheduled departure time) are on a separate scale for each 
route. 	E.g. Paris - Lille, 258 km, 2nd class: non-TGV 179 FRF, TGV 
211 FRF.
Various discounts are available for advance purchase (Joker) etc.
50% discount for children over 4 and under 12 years old.
0% discount on 2nd class fare for pet animals (29 FRF in a
basket/cage)Any discount does NOT apply to the following charges
(payable also by pass-holders where applicable):
Seat reservation fee (included in published TGV fares): 19 FRF
Couchette (bunk in compartment with 6 sleeping-berths) 
res/supplement: 89 FRF
Terminal charge (at 200 modernised stations): 2 - 6 FRF
Ticket validity: 24 hours from start of journey 
(i.e. time *you* STAMPED it)
Longer break of journey permitted only if specified when buying
the ticket.
If your TGV arrives over 30 minutes late, you are entitled
(on application) to a travel voucher for the price of your 
*supplement*.

NOTE: Before starting any journey, you must always STAMP your SNCF 
ticket in the orange "composteur" machine at the track access point.

Paris Airport access:
There are two adjacent rail stations sharing a single ticket office in 
Terminal/Aerogare 2 at the main international airport "Aeroport 
Charles-de-Gaulle Roissy" (Paris CDG). One is the terminal of RER 
(express metro) Line B3, with frequent trains to central Paris via 
Gare du Nord, Chatelet, St-Michel, Denfert-Rochereau etc., some of 
which continue via Antony where there is a connection by automatic 
metro to the other main airport, Orly. The other is on the new 
high-speed line linking Lille and certain other stations in northern 
France with Lyons and certain stations in southeast France. Travellers 
to these parts of France will generally find that direct TGV services 
from this station are quicker than travelling via central Paris, and 
vice versa.

Bicycles: (see the SNCF leaflet "Train + Velo"):
 - may be taken free as accompanied baggage in the luggage van
   (fourgon) of certain non-TGV main-line  trains if the 
  traveller (un)loads it;
 - may be taken as accompanied baggage on all TGVs ONLY if folded or
  with wheels removed AND wrapped WITHIN not more than 120 cm x 90 cm.
 - may be sent separately as "registered baggage" for a fee of 135 FRF
  if boxed or 185 FRF if unboxed (this takes a few days).
 - travel free with you on most "TER" (Regional trains), with a few 
exceptions 
 - travel free OFF-PEAK on the "RER" network OUTSIDE central Paris
 - can be hired by the day at some SNCF stations.
NOTE: Prices for food and drink on board trains are usually 
MUCH higher
than off them, there are NO ice water dispensers - so stock up before 
boarding!
