Look, the bag policy is actually your friend. Without it, the top of the Eiffel Tower would become a chaotic jumble of backpacks hitting everyone in the face. It’s like the bouncer at a club—annoying until you realize how much worse it would be without them.
Plus, traveling light makes you feel like a cool, minimalist influencer. You’ll breeze through security while others struggle with their life’s possessions. You’ll nod at the guard like an old friend. You’ve got this.
Final, Very Honest Advice
Before you leave your hotel, do the “Potato Test.” Hold your bag to your chest. Can you still see your feet? Yes? You’re fine. No? Go back and take out that extra sweater you swear you needed. You don’t need it. Trust me.
And if you do get turned away? Don’t panic. Just laugh, hand the guard your bag, and accept your fate. You’ll join a club of thousands who learned the hard way. Welcome to Paris. Now go enjoy that view. Your pockets are ready.
