Confirm meeting point
Meeting location varies by chosen activity; if you pick the Eiffel option, meet at the Bir-Hakeim metro exit and double-check any changes the morning of the tour.
Bring a light layer
River breezes and underground jazz venues can be cool; a packable jacket keeps you comfortable without slowing you down.
Mind timing for food stops
For the best pastries and smaller crowds, aim for mid-morning; crepe stands get busiest after midday and in the evening.
Accessibility check
Wheelchair access varies by site — confirm accessibility for specific venues (Eiffel viewing level and some jazz clubs may have limits).
Comfortable walking shoes
City pavements and cobbles demand stable, supportive shoes for a few hours of walking.
