1. Re: American Express Card. Many places in France do not accept AMEX, as the American Express fees charged to the businesses are much higher than the fees charged by Visa and MasterCard. I would urge your daughter to take alternative cards with her ( Visa &/or MC ) if she wants to do any serious shopping.
Follow signs for Métro Line 4 heading in the direction of Porte de Clignancourt. Get off the train at Paris Gare du Nord. Approximate Métro journey time: 45 minutes, including walking time to get to the station from the Métro. Approximate taxi journey time: 35 minutes depending on traffic.
You are not expected to tip overly much, though. A usual tip for a tour guides would be 5% – 10% of the tour price per person. If you are joining a free tour in Paris, your tip is the only salary your tour guide makes. Consider €5 to €20 per person, if you enjoyed it. Leave a small tip for bellhops and housekeeping.5. Re: Paris Metro Tickets and Non-European Credit Cards. There are regular contributors on the forum who can advise you about best way to purchase tickets if you will be using the metro often—booklets of tickets or perhaps a pass that is good for a week, depending on day of purchase/arrival day and length of stay.
Taxis which accept credit cards are not are rare as some might have us think: all of the Taxi G7 taxis accept credit cards as do all of the Taxis Bleus.
