The usual fee for attendance at hotels is 1 fr. At the cafes also the waiters expect a trifling gratuity, but the obnoxious system is not carried to such an extent as in the metropolis. The Churches, especially the more important, are open the whole day. As, however, divine service is usually celebrated in the morning and evening, visitors will find the middle of day or afternoon the most favourable time for their inspection.
The Museums are generally open to the public on Sundays and Thursdays from 12 to 4 o'clock, and are often crowded. Visitors may always obtain access at other times for a gratuity 1 fr. Catalogues may be borrowed from the concierge. The most trustworthy information with regard to the depar- ture of trains is contained in the Jndicateur des Chemins de Fer, published weekly, and sold 40 c.

English Physicians, Chemists, etc. The traveller with little luggage is of course the most in- dependent. Small portmanteaus or travelling-bags carried by the owner himself are rarely opened by the officials of the Octroi municipal tax on bread, meat, etc.
Travellers with direct tickets from Eng- land, or any other foreign country, who have not broken their journey at any intermediate station, usually undergo the custom- house Douane examination at Paris instead of at the frontier.
Généralités
This formality occupies 15 — 20 min. As soon as the traveller is released from the Douane , he should secure the services of a porter facteur, 15 — 20 c , and direct his luggage to be taken to the nearest fiacre fares see p. Or, better still, lest there should be a scarcity of cabs, he may engage one immediately on his arrival, telling the driver to wait for the luggage 'restez pour attendre les bagages' , and receiving from him his printed number, and then proceed to superintend the examination of luggage. In this case 25 c. If the traveller be doubtful of obtaining accommodation at the hotel he has selected, he had better at once engage his fiacre a l'heure.
The omnibuses, the conductors of which generally endeavour to take possession of the traveller and his luggage, are not re- commended, unless they actually pass the door of the house where the traveller intends to alight fare 30 c, from midnight till 6 a. Families or large parties will find an Omnibus de Famille a comfortable and comparatively inexpensive conveyance. These vehicles generally belong to the hotel-keepers, from whom they must be ordered by letter, stating by what train the party may be expected. Yeuillez bien , Monsieur , excuser mon importuniti et recevoir a Vavance mes remerciments et Vassurance de ma haute consideration.
Preliminary stations de Lyon and d'Orleans the charge amounts to about 1 ft. Travellers arriving at night may prefer to engage the services of a porter facteur and proceed on foot to the nearest hotel. These hotels are also restaurants. Laurent et de Mulhouse, Rue de Metz 4, to the left on leaving the station. Then in the Boule- vart de Strasbourg: Hotel de Mayence, 20 Rue d'Amsterdam. In order to avoid unnecessary loss of time, the traveller should, if possible, write the forms of application for permission to visit the Hotel de Ville, etc.
Suitable forms will in each case be found in the following pages. To ensure civility from servants, officials, and others, the tra- veller in France is cautioned not to omit the inevitable l s'il vous plait', when making a request, or even when ordering refreshments at a cafe or restaurant.
Thus l le cordon, s'il vous plait' is the ex- pression usually employed in requesting the concierge to open the house-door. It should, moreover, be borne in mind that it is customary to address persons of humble station as 'Monsieur, ' Madame', or 'Mademoiselle'.
The policemen Sergents de Ville , who are to be met with in every street and place of public resort, are always ready, when civilly questioned, to furnish strangers with every information in their power. The Parisian police are so efficient and well-orga- nised a body, that street-robberies are of far less frequent occur- rence than in most other large towns.
It is, however, advisable to be on one's guard against pickpockets, who are as adroit as the police are vigilant. Should the traveller require medical advice during his stay in Paris, he will do well to note down the address of some respectable physician residing in the neighbourhood of his apart- ments.

The average charges of the last few years are stated in the Handbook. The disasters of have in some cases tended to raise, and in others to diminish the previous scale of charges. Those who are desirous of avoiding a disagreeable surprise should of course make enquiries beforehand, especially when a prolonged stay is contemplated. In this case the bill should be demanded every 3 or 4 days, by which means errors, whether accidental or de- signed, are more easily detected.
In the case of a departure early in the morning, the bill should be obtained over night ; for it is a favourite practice to withhold it till the last moment, when the hurry and confusion render overcharges less liable to discovery. Although Attendance is always an item in the hotel-bill, it is usual to give the head-waiter and the concierge a fee of 1 — 2 fr.
As this is not usually distributed among the servants till the end of the traveller's stay, an occasional extra gratuity will greatly tend to ensure civility. Travellers are cautioned against keeping Articles of Value in the drawers or cupboards of their rooms. They should be en- trusted to the care of the landlord, or sent to a banker. Preliminary The largest hotels in the city, and perhaps on the entire con- tinent, are the two following: The number of rooms is about , and upwards of persons frequently dine at the table d'hote.
Many persons, however, will prefer the smaller, quieter, and less expensive establishments, especially when ladies and children are of the party. Out of the vast number of hotels which Paris contains, a few only of the best-situated and most respectable are here enumerated.
H6tel du Jardin des Tuileries, Rue de Rivoli , well spoken of. The following five hotels, situated in the Rue de Rivoli, opposite the garden of the Tuileries, and principally frequented by English travellers, are of the highest class and expensive: In the Champs Elyse'es, at some distance from the principal attractions: Hotel de Douvres, Rue Montaigne 14 bis.

Opposite this hotel is the Ecole de Natation de Vile St. Louis, where the water of the Seine is much purer than in the baths farther down the river. For a stay of some duration, the following lodging-houses may be mentioned as quiet and pleasantly situated: Paris is indisputably the cradle of high culinary art. The ordinary tables d'hote convey to the mind but a feeble idea of the perfection to which this art is carried; the 'chefs d'ceuvre' must be sought for in the first-class restaurants.
It must, however, be borne in mind, that in one of these establishments the taste of the connoisseur can hardly be adequately gratified at a less expenditure than 10 — 15 fr. A -few of the best and most respectable restaurants, especially in the most frequented situations Palais Royal, Boulevarts, etc. The charges are mentioned approximately, but it should be observed that they have been rising steadily within the last few years in consequence of the enormous rents paid for these establishments; the prices of many of the neces- saries of life have moreover been raised since the Revolution of — At the large restaurants the portions are usually very ample, so that one portion suffices for two persons, or two portions for three.
The visitor should therefore avoid dining alone. It is even allowable to order one portion for three persons. In the establishments of the better class, ladies may always without the slightest impropriety be of the party. At some of the less fashionably situated restaurants see p. The Bill of Fare often consists of a book of many pages, bound in velvet. Whatever dish is selected, it is sure to be found unexceptionable of its kind. At the smaller restaurants it is not prudent to order any dish which is not mentioned in the 'carte du jour.
The subjoined list is given with a view to make the stranger acquainted with the names of the commonest dishes rather than with those of Parisian delicacies. The triumphs of Parisian culinary skill consist in the different modes of dress- ing fish and filet de boeuf, and in the preparation of frican- deaus, mayonnaises, and sauces. Huitres, oysters, 1 fr. Potage a la Julienne, soup containing finely cut vegetables. Potage a la puree aux croutons, a kind of pea-soup with dice of toasted bread.

It should be observed that if the diner partakes of the 'hors d'oeuvre' presented to him between the courses, consisting cf radishes, prawns crevettes , etc.
The ordinary red table-wine is usually drunk mixed with water or better, with aerated water, of which a 'siphon', or a 'demi-siphon' may be ordered , a precaution especially recom- mended in the inferior restaurants. A whole bottle is often placed on the table for each person, unless half a bottle only is expressly ordered. The principal restaurants are generally crowded between 6 and 7; strangers will therefore find it pleasanter to dine between 5 and 6. The attention shown to the regular fre- quenters of a restaurant is of course mainly dependent on the fees which the waiters receive from them.
Travellers may generally avail themselves of one of the Tables d'Hote 5 or 6 p. The 'Diners a Prix- fixe' have comparatively recently come into vogue. They resemble the tables d'hote, with the exception that the diner is at liberty to come at any hour between 5 and 8 de'j. Payment in some instances is made at the door on entering.
In cases where a whole bottle of table-wine is included in the charge for dinner, half a bottle of a better quality may always be obtained in its stead. Meats and vege- tables are served separately; those who prefer them together must make known their wish. The cuisine is sometimes scarcely inferior to that of the best restaurants. These establishments are recommended to travellers who are not au fait at order- ing a French dinner. The chief endeavour of such establishments is to provide a varied and showy, rather than a wholesome repast, and they should therefore be patronised but sparingly.
The quality of the food at the Maisons Duval p. The connois- seur in the culinary art will of course avoid the 'diner a prix flxe', and betake himself with one or two discriminating friends to a restaurant of the best class , where he need be under no unpleasant apprehensions. Even the solitary traveller will exercise a wise discretion in selecting houses of the best class, at which a simple repast of 2 — 3 courses may be obtained for a reason- able sum. While the Editor here enumerates some of the principal restaurants in the quarters of Paris chiefly frequented by strangers, he begs to remind his readers that there are many others of 12 3.

Restaurants, especially of the second and third class, abound here. Among the most respectable may be mentioned: Refresh- ments may also be obtained at the Chalet du Jardin des Plantes, at the entrance to the garden, opposite the Pont d'Austerlitz. At these restaurants, founded originally by a butcher named Duval, a limited number of dishes only is to be found in the bill of fare, and their professed object is to supply good and wholesome food at a moderate charge.
They are extremely popular with all classes Information. Each guest on entering is furnished with a card, on which the waiter afterwards notes the dishes partaken of. Usual scale of charges: The most extensive of these establishments is in the Rue Mon- tesquieu, No.

Confectioners in Paris are of two classes, Pdtissiers and Con- fiseurs pastry-cooks.

The theatres present to the stranger a highly characteristic phase of Parisian life, and he should on no account omit to visit all the principal ones. As, however, some acquaintance with the colloquial and slang expressions of every day life is requisite, and cannot be acquired without a sojourn in Paris of considerable duration, strangers are strongly recommended to purchase the play to be performed, and peruse it carefully beforehand. Anne 14, may be mentioned as a dealer in all kinds of dramatic com- positions.
The best places are the stalls in front of the orchestra fau- teuils d'orchestre , behind which are the stalles d'orchestre; those behind the pit stalles d' amphitheatre , and those in front of the first tier of boxes fauteuils de balcon, de la premiere galerie. Ladies are not admitted in some theatres to the orchestra stalls. Preliminary It is a wise precaution, especially in the case of very popular performances, to secure a good seat by purchasing a billet de location beforehand at the office of the theatre , or at the prin- cipal office location-office des theatres in the morning.
The visitor should be careful to select a numero de face, and not de cote. These billets de location generally cost 1 — 2 fr. Strangers are particularly cautioned against purchasing tickets from 'valets de place' and similar individuals , who frequently hover about in the vicinity of the theatres and endeavour to impose on the public.
The Parterre or pit is always crowded. Those who wish to secure a tolerable seat in this part of the theatre should be at the door at least an hour before the commencement of the play, and, with the exact entrance-money in hand, fall into the rank faire queue of other expectants. Frequenters of the pit, on leaving the theatre between the acts, usually secure their seats by attaching their handkerchiefs to the bench. In order to become acquainted with the internal arrangements of each theatre, the stranger should consult the plan of the building at the office.
Most of them have their premieres, deuxiemes, troisiemes de face or de cote box-places in the first, second, or third row, in front or at the side , baignoires or loges de rez-de-chaussee pit-boxes , etc. The best places for ladies are the boxes and the fauteuils de balcon.
