Paris has changed a lot in the last few decades. Not so long ago, the tourist circuit was limited to a small number of famous locations and you’d find few locals who spoke more than a handful of phrases in English.

From dining etiquette to public transportation dos and don'ts, here’s your easy guide to navigating the City of Lights the Parisian way.

It’s safe to say that travel is incredibly important for Megan Spurrell and Henry Urrunaga Diaz, both of whom travel the world for a living: Megan is a Californian who works as the associate director of articles at Condé Nast Traveler in New York, and Henry is a Peruvian who films his adventures for his YouTube channel. The pair met through friends in 2014 while spending a few months in Rio de Janeiro around the time of the World Cup.
