Dress code

  • Neutral, well-fitted basics (navy, black, beige, white) blend in; loud prints and logos stand out.
  • Cover shoulders inside churches such as Notre-Dame and Sacré-Cœur; a scarf works.
  • Leave gym wear and flip-flops for the hotel — smart sneakers or loafers are the local default.
