I am going to be in Paris for a few days next month and and have been reading a lot of posts regarding restrictions on tripod use. My goal (hopefully) is to be able to get some nice 6x6 (Provia, mostly) shots of stained glass windows on a day trip to Chartres Cathedral. I have read older posts from some people who were able to use them and others who could not. I'm thinking that it all depends on the day of the week, who is in charge, etc. One of the reasons I'm going in September is that there won't be as many tourists and hopefully I'll have some luck. I'll be using a Mamiya 220 with a 180 Super and a 80mm 2.8 lens.
I'm interested to hear from people who have been in France fairly recently.
Thanks.

all the places I went to I gained written pre approval.Alternatively,use a monopod; they are less blocking and more easily accepted;Also,learn some French;they hateEnglish speakers demanding English in their country; diplomacy and courtesy always help; arrogance never does.I am going to be in Paris for a few days next month and and have been reading a lot of posts regarding restrictions on tripod use.

Dammit! We're going to that Europe in September and may stop in Paris at some point. That's another piece of photography equipment I never knew I needed!I will be bringing a monopod with me as well.

Just remind them if they object to your tripod, we got them out of two world wars they didn't complain about English speakers then, and before somebody gets on his P.C. high horse this is a jokeall the places I went to I gained written pre approval.Alternatively,use a monopod; they are less blocking and more easily accepted;Also,learn some French;they hateEnglish speakers demanding English in their country; diplomacy and courtesy always help; arrogance never does.
