FRANCE tourists have been advised to be careful of the latest scam in Paris, after a couple from Thailand were threatened by a taxi driver if they didn’t pay him, after charging five times the standard cost.
France tourists have been advised to be cautious of a taxi scam which saw tourists charged five times the cost of a trip from the airport to the city centre in Paris.
Official taxis in the city are subject to rules which see them charge a flat rate free for tourists leaving the airport.
Travel from the airport to the Right Bank of Paris is to be no more than €50 (£44) while travel to the Left Bank is to be no more than €55 (£48), with the new rules coming into place in 2016.
