    3 Stars It's Haughty, It's Snotty, It's Pretty....It's Paris! Review with images 10/03/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Montmartre, Busy Cafe's, Finding Interesting Parisians, Paris Ambiance

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Rude Staring Parisians, Overrated restaurants, Obnoxious Tourists, Expensive Holiday

    Bienvenue à Paris! Parler Francais , s'il vous plaît! Ahhhhhh Paris......How many movies have been set in or based on this City? In many ways, the word "city" doesn't fit. Paris is a way of life. It's a Country in itself. It, has it's own language. It has it's own fashion. It even has a piece of "Disney". So, what doesn't it have? Something. Several things. Many can't put their finger on it. Or, they are too afraid to point out it's faults. It's almost like, the moment they speak a criticism, the Parisian Mafia might come and throw them off the Eiffel Tower. Every tourist I've spoken with in ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The atmosphere, the sights, the food

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None - I love it!

    There is so much to say about Paris. It's a fabulous city, with a great atmosphere and so much to do that it's impossible to get bored. People say that it's an expensive city, but there really is something to cater for all tastes and budgets. General Information Paris is in the north of France and is its largest and capital city, with a population of just over two million. It is situated on the river Seine and is split into twenty arrondissements (municipal boroughs). The main tourist areas are: The Marais - literally means 'swamp' but is home to some of Paris' trendiest bars, impressive ... more

    5 Stars Bargains and the Best of Paris 02/10/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great sightseeing, excellent transport links, bargains to take advantage of

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Generally expensive

    After writing a lengthy epic on the highlights of my trip to Rome, I've been inspired to tackle gaie Paris, focussing on the best sights, and my favourite thing - bargains. The Background: As three financially challenged students on an end-of-degree farewell trip, we tried to chose a classic cultural destination that was also affordable. However, Paris isn't cheap, and we ended up staying at the 2* Hotel Navarin Et Angleterre, in the pleasant, yet unremarkable, area of St. Georges. On arrival I was quite impressed by the freshly decorated reception, with marble floor and green velvet fittings ... more

    5 Stars Paris, Oh la la, the best place ever. Review with images 04/07/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Always something to do, beautiful place.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not enough hours in the day

    I love Paris; I never thought I'd say that, as it's not what I would have considered to be my type of place at all. I first went a couple of years ago, with just one other person, I think that's ideal really. We travelled by Euro star which I highly recommend, it's relaxing, better for the environment and super quick! It's like going on a coach ride. The first time I went was very early January, just after new year's day. I personally think this is the best time to go, financially and for experience. All the Christmas decorations are up and the restaurants and shops have their own unique ... more
