Cultural references
- In the "Dawn of Time" segment:
- There is a Triceratops skull in the cave.
- Homer's hammock is a saber-toothed tiger pelt.
- The art Maggie is putting on the wall is one of the Lascaux cave paintings.
- The title of the episode is a reference to the title of the film To Sir, with Love.
- The film has also been referenced in the title of the episodes "To Surveil with Love" from Season 21 and "To Cur, with Love" from Season 24.
- Homer rides on a luggage carrier with four Michelin Men. He shows them a video of the Springfield Tire Fire, and they react in horror, being made of tires themselves.
- Homer mentions Burger King.
- Homer refers to his good luck saying "Fortune favors the bald," a play on the proverb "Fortune favors the bold."
- Strolling along the Seine with Marge, Homer says "Plastered in Paris, there's no better feeling" a play on plaster of Paris.
- The scene where Homer and Marge stroll past the "Place de la Pointillisme" is drawn in the art style of Pointillism.
- A Morgan Motor vehicle is found by Lisa and Homer in the garage.
- Jay Leno, who buys the car from Homer, is well known as a classic car enthusiast.
- The Paris Fashion Week is shown.
- Runway models, known for being extremely thin, are here shown in side view as being thin as playing cards and they act like playing cards, even riffle shuffling themselves.
- The house from Up is seen flying in Paris.
- In Paris, Lisa is dressed as Madeline, a character from a French book and TV series of the same name.
- Homer, when talking to a policeman, states that "our family is falling apart like your European Union". This is clearly a reference to the Brexit, the British EU Membership Referendum, in which the UK voted to leave the European Union.
Continuity
- Ugolin and Cesar appear. ("The Crepes of Wrath")
- The Simpsons family travels on an Air Springfield airplane. ("Fear of Flying")
- Marge mentions bad journeys of the Simpsons family:
- Australia ("Bart vs. Australia"),
- Brazil ("Blame It on Lisa", "You Don't Have to Live Like a Referee"),
- Japan ("Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo"),
- London ("The Regina Monologues"),
- China ("Goo Goo Gai Pan"),
- World's Fair Bart drove to ("Bart on the Road"),
- That place with the underground jockeys ("Saddlesore Galactica"),
- Itchy & Scratchy Land ("Itchy & Scratchy Land"),
- Outer Space ("Deep Space Homer").
Trivia
- The Duff blimp in the couch gag says Season 27 ep. 20, the season and episode number of this episode.
- French versions of Chief Wiggum, Eddie and Lou appear.
Goofs
- Lisa's headphones disappear on the plane.
- At the airport, there's a gate "E33", but there's no "E33" gate on the Charles de Gaulle Airport, the airport used as inspiration for it.
- A poster in the travel agent's office is titled "Kaflavik", but the picture is of the landmark Hallgrímskirkja church in Reykjavík: perhaps knowingly done, as Kaflavik has no landmarks of its own but relates to a word spoken by Professor Frink.
- When the Simpson family arrives at the airport, they are in the departure lounge.
- The plane seating plan is not used on any plane.
- It would be impossible to get a live snake through security.
