What is a Prix Fixe menu?

Although prix fixe, commonly pronounced 'prefix', menus are common in Europe, they're still somewhat of a novelty to most Americans. A prix fixe menu is simply a collection of predetermined items presented as a multi-course meal at a set price.

  • For instance, one evening, a restaurant may offer a prix fixe menu of escargot for the first course, beef bourguignon for the second course, a cheese platter for the third course, and crème brûlée for the dessert course.
  • Most Parisian restaurants will actually offer two or three prix fixe options to diners. Unlike in American restaurants, diners are usually only provided with a paper menu if there is more than one choice of prix fixes for the evening or if the restaurant happens to serve a la carte for dinner, which is somewhat rare and unusual for most of the finer Parisian restaurants. Rather, the prix fixe menu for the evening, along with its cost, is typically posted on a board outside the restaurant.
  • When dining, it's usually not necessary to tell the wait staff when to bring the next course and, under certain circumstances, such as appearing to be in a hurry, can even be considered rude. Servers in Parisian restaurants are a lot more observant than they appear and you will notice your waiter is typically bringing the next course as you are wrapping up the current one.
  • Also, particularly at dinner, take your time and make sure your schedule is clear for the evening. It's not only considered rude but an insult to the chef to rush through a meal at a Parisian restaurant.

Another answer is
A meal at a fixed price. Example: Choose soup or salad, choose 1 of the 3 appetizers, choose 1 of the 4 entrees, choose 1 of the 3 desserts. 20.00 per person.

And another
The equivalent term in English is "set meal" or "fixed price meal". The opposite is à la Carte, which means you have a total fee choice, and each course is priced separately.

Note "La carte" is the menu, "menu" means set meal.
You will often find the set meals are on a separate piece of paper to the main menu, or they may be on a blackboard (common in GB).

What were the positive effects of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919?

The only thing positive is that the conflict was ended. However peace was only temporary. Reparations from Germany left that country open to Nazi takeover. It divided people up not by language or national feelings but as prizes like pieces of meat given to the biggest of dogs.

What is the price of a single Metro ticket in Paris?

The basic Métro ticket is a small piece of cardboard with a magnetic strip that costs €1,40. It's issued by RATP, the transportation authority for the Paris region. You can save money by purchasing a carnet of 10 tickets for €10,50 at the ticket window of any Métro station or from vending machines near the turnstiles. Ask for "une billet, s'il vous plait" or "un carnet, s'il vous plait." (A carnet is simply a stack of individual tickets that you can share with family or friends.)

A single ticket will take you anywhere within the city of Paris on the Métro and RER networks, and you can transfer between lines--or between the Métro and the RER--on the same ticket. You can also use tickets from your carnet on public buses, although transfers between the rail and bus networks aren't allowed.

If you plan to use public transportation extensively, you can save even more money with these special passes:

Mobilis, a pass for one calendar day. The price depends on the zones where you intend to travel; if you plan to stay within the city, a Zone 1 pass is all you need.

Paris Visite, a tourist pass valid for one, two, three, or five calendar days. Again, the price depends on how many zones you need. Children from 4 to 11 pay half-price (kids 4 and under are free), and the card offers discounts on boat cruises and certain other tourist attractions.

The Carte Orange, which requires a passport photo, is used mostly by locals. The weekly or carte hebdomadaire pass runs from Monday to Sunday, and the monthly or carte mensuelle pass is good for one calendar month.

Other passes are available for residents (including students at universities and other schools in the Paris region).

Where to buy passes: You can buy Mobilis, Paris Visite, and Carte Orange at major Métro stations, RER stations, and railroad stations in the Ile-de-France region, including those at Paris airports. Paris Visite is also available at branches of the Paris tourist office and from our partner, Rail Europe, which also sells the Paris Museum Pass.

Tips:

*

Paris is a city that's best enjoyed on foot, so a carnet of 10 tickets is likely to be your best value unless you have limited mobility, are pressed for time, or are staying a long way from tourist attractions.

*

Don't be surprised if your US credit card doesn't work in Métro or RER ticket machines that are designed to work with European "smart cards" that have embedded chips. If your card doesn't work, just go to the ticket window.
