I first visited Paris about seventeen years ago. It was June, it was hot, the journey was terrible and the hotel a cheap, dingy rather seedy two star place in one of those narrow backstreets and as for the smell - it was indescribable (all that poddle mess in that heat!). I have to say my first impressions were not good but somehow the lure of the Champs Elysee, Sacre Coure and Mont Matre kept nagging so eventually I returned, this time in the Winter. What a suprise, clean streets and fairy lights on the Chapms Elysee - this was the Paris I had expected the first time around. Somehow all those boulevards seem more inviting, the buildings more interesting; but the locals were no more welcoming - are well you can't have everything.

I don't think the review was of any help. It just gives a short and general description of a city. I would like to read about what to see, what to do, where to stay, where to eat etc. Regards Gard
