Aude,

Your tip is really great and helpful for first timers like me. I know it is summer there right now but can you give us an idea what is the current temperature there? Is humidity high?

thanks,

Leah

I would bring both long/half-sleeve blouses or shirts, as well as short sleeves. For shopping (dealing with the bargaining and people) and other situations, I like to be more conservative in dress. But, overall, things are not as conservative (long sleeves only) for dress as I assumed before I left.

Aude -- this is super, super helpful. Thank you so much for all the
tips, especially the phrases and advice on what to wear! There's
nothing like the voice of experience :)
