In other cities, taxis have distinctive colors, but that does not happen in Paris, here they are distinguished from normal cars because they carry a small sign that identifies them, these are on the roof of the vehicle. We do not recommend touring the city by taxi for two reasons.

Taxi in Paris

First, they are very expensive, approximately 50% more than they cost in Spanish cities. Its minimum price for a race is 5,20 euros.
And the second is that there are not many taxis, that is why there are hours of the night when it is almost impossible to catch one, even if you call a taxi company, you can wait up to two hours for them to pick you up.

To be sure of hailing a certified taxi, always make sure it meets these conditions.
