One time there were 3 taxis at my St. Germain hotel at 600 AM and two drivers were having a fistfight in the street over who was going to take me and my wife to CDG.

Another time coming from CDG and going to St. Germain with my wife and in-laws, the taxi driver started to deviate from what I knew to be the shortest route. I could tell he was going thru the Champs de Elysees, Trocadero, etc, but was fine with it as the looks on my in-laws faces were priceless as they gazed out the windows of his Peugeot at the sights in the Parisian sunrise. As my in-laws don't speak a word of English and the driver did, I told him when I paid him that I knew what he did but I was not complaining as my in-laws were speechless.

I haven't tried Uber, but going to and from the airport now I always take the metro into and from St.Germain. Otherwise, I walk everywhere. Gotta work off the calories somehow.......right ??
