Marché de la Porte de Vanves (Paris)

Advantages: warm in summer, romantic, architecture, street cafes
Disadvantages: street entertainers wanting money for nothing, Hotel Favart

...My boyfriend and I travelled by Eurostar to Paris last summer and I can truly say it was the most wonderful holiday we have ever experienced. Disneyland Paris was the first stop and it is far more attractive than its American counterparts. We had to take the metro to Paris and carrying our luggage up four flights of escalators was a struggle, but it was worth it. Our first hotel was a great disappointment - Hotel Favart.

Advantages: views
Disadvantages: traffic

...this is probaly he centre of paris. it is a large round about with a phallic monument in the middle. by night it is beautiful as it is lit up and you can see the arabic / egyptian writing engraved on it iin gold. it is truly a fine sight. but what is better is what surrounds the monument. there are the government buildings, in one direction there is a direct path to the louvre but most stunning of all in the other direction there is a view up the champs elysees which is unrivalled in paris, seeing the arc de triomphe at the end. there is little too much traffic but hten again this is a city and should be appreciated as such. visit it at night and take a camera....
