Traveling in France with Neuropathy - A Personal Journey

This topic is about traveling in France, specifically Paris, while managing neuropathy and living with an ostomy. The person sharing their experience offers practical tips and insights to make the journey smoother and more enjoyable. Here’s a summary of their advice:

1. To avoid the hassle of carrying luggage through stairs and metros, consider renting an apartment. The person used a U.S.-based agency called "Paris for Rent," which provided a centrally located flat near Notre-Dame and arranged airport pick-up.

2. Establish a daily routine for managing your ostomy. This includes emptying the pouch in the morning, carrying pre-cut ostomy supplies, and having Imodium on hand for loose stools. Identify public toilets you can use, such as those in McDonald’s.

3. Enjoy the sights of Paris. The traveler visited places like Sacré-Cœur and Montmartre and planned to see the Musée d’Orsay. The weather was sunny but chilly, so dress accordingly.

4. If you’re looking for entertainment guides like "Pariscope," you can find them at most news kiosks, especially along the Champs-Élysées. They are published every Wednesday. Another option is "L’Officiel des Spectacles."

5. When dining, consider ethical choices. The traveler suggests skipping foie gras due to animal-welfare concerns but encourages enjoying other aspects of French cuisine.

6. For accommodation, the traveler recommends the rental agency "Paris for Rent," highlighting their excellent customer service and convenient payment options in U.S. dollars. They stayed in an apartment named “Notre Dame” and plan to use the company again.

7. If you want to stay in a lively area, consider the Opéra district, which offers easy access to numerous movie theaters.

8. For ostomy travel, always carry pre-cut bags and accessories for quick changes. Keep anti-diarrheal medication like Imodium handy, and know where to find reliable restroom options, such as fast-food chains.
