Quite honestly, Paris is the most beautiful city that I have ever been to. During our holiday, we travelled around Northern France and our first stop was in Paris for three nights.
We stayed in a moderately priced hotel in the 9th district (Just be careful booking hotels - our one was described as being in a lively area, which turned out to be a red light district!).
Anyway, it was very central to Paris and we could easily travel to all the sites we wished to using the metro. This was an excellant service and there are stops at, or not far from each of the historical sites that visitors would wish to view. I would suggest buying a book of 10 tickets, as this worked out very cheaply and lasted us three days.
The people in Paris are reasonably friendly. It is quite important that you try to communicate in French. The majority of French (if they can) will speak in English if they see that you are making an effort.
Finally, prices in Paris are quite reasonble. There are expensive restaurants, but with a little searching good prices can always be found. PS: Don't forget the tips!
Paris is a good weekend destination - we saw all the main sites in 2-3 days, so I would recommend travelling on to somewhere nearby as well, rather than staying in Paris for a long time. I would suggest a weekend trip.

We go to Paris on Wednesday, I am wondering if it is friendly towards wheelchairs as I am in one.
