Certain restaurants in tourist-heavy areas of Paris have been charging higher prices or applying extra charges to American tourists, an investigation by a French newspaper has shown. From taxi scams to pickpockets at Metro stations, stories of tourists (particularly Americans) in Paris being taken advantage of are not new, but what about being charged a different amount for dinner? The French daily Le Parisien did an experiment over the summer to see if restaurants in tourist-heavy areas would charge 'American' customers more than French people.
