Flight to Paris: travel preparation and tips

Paris is one hour ahead of UK time. Despite the exceptional quality of its food and wine, the French capital is actually cheaper than London when it comes to the daily cost of living. It's also worth noting that there is free admission to the city's state museums on the first Sunday of every month. In general, Parisians tend to speak only a smattering of English, so visitors are recommended to learn a few words or phrases of French.
