Advantages: The beauty and the atmosphere
Disadvantages: pickpockets and street beggars (like any city)

Paris is one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in the world. It is also the most hardest city to review as there are so many things to do and see. So to prevent this opinion becoming a novel I have chosen a small selection of sights in Paris that I would encourage you to visit if you go there, and given a little detail about them. Bateaux Mouches Now if you want to see all of Paris in a short time, Les Bateaux Mouches is THE way to do ... Read review

Advantages: One of the most beautiful cities in the world
Disadvantages: Not enough time to do every thing you canin Paris

If no place is perfect, Paris comes close. The French capital practically invented the modern concepts of romance, fashion, good food and riverside walks with the one you love. Whether you come for a day or a decade, the city can't cease to inspire you. There are always new streets to discover, another brilliant little bistro to sample, another bench in the Luxembourg Gardens to sit on, another museum to check out, another hip shop opening in ...

I have now visited Paris twice as a tourist, both in the February half term, visiting many of the city's attractions. I feel it would be helpful for people visiting Paris to have a guide of practicalities regarding their stay. TRANSPORT ********** If you live close to London, by far the easiest method of travel to Paris is by the Eurostar. Direct from Waterloo, it travels in 2 hours to the centre of Paris, to the Gare du Nord station. It ... Read review

Advantages: It's Parisian.
Disadvantages: Touristy areas and street sellers.

...We were going to Paris today. I put on a black long-sleeved T-shirt and black trousers and put a red short-sleeved shirt on over the top. “Is that what you’re wearing?” Tommy asked me. “…yeah, why?” “Well, it’s just a bit messy, that’s all.” “Something a bit more formal then,” I huffed back into the bedroom and threw my shirt down onto the floor in early-morning irritation. Carefully, I selected my black shirt with white collar and cuffs and ... Read review

Advantages: Amazing art, fabulous food and serious shopping all in a beautiful city.
Disadvantages: Too much to see in one weekend.

...nightlife. Each time I go to Paris I try to see a different area in a bit more depth. On a visit to Paris most people will try to see the most famous sights such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur and Montmartre and the Louvre so omitting these popular attractions I will tell you some of my favourite places in Paris which include Musee d’ Orsay, the Tuileries gardens, forum des Halles, Place des Vosges and above all Versailles which ...

Disadvantages: so little time

...to be whisked off to Paris for the weekend and highly recommend it. Paris is the city for lovers (they even have a lovers walk) so whether you have a recently acquired partner or a long term love, Paris will inspire the forgotten romantic in us all. My boyfriend booked the tickets on www.lastminute.com on Wednesday and on Friday evening we were at Waterloo, ready to travel first class on the Eurostar to 'gay' Paris.

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: very busy, too much traffic, expensive

PARIS - how wonderful!! Having now visited 3 times in the past 2 years, I am in love with the most romantic City on earth - not that I go for the romance! Paris is VAST, there is no other word to describe a City with over 20 million inhabitants (That's about 4 times more people than Scotland in its entirety!!) Central Paris however (within the peripherique)is split into 20 Arrondissements or quarters as the are known. Thay are numbered in a ... Read review

Advantages: One of the most beautiful cities in the world!
Disadvantages: people often find Parisians unfriendly

...all you have. Of course Paris will take up as many days as you have to offer her....... she truly is the most beautiful and atmospheric city in the world. When I lived in Paris, the highlights I kept going back to were Notre Dame (but for an awe inspiring organ recital, go check out St Sulpice!) Sacre Coeur and the artist's square at Montmartre as well as the St Michel area and the excellent Flea Markets, the biggest of which is at the Porte ... Read review

Advantages: beautiful city, lots to do
Disadvantages: expensive, ignorant French people

...it’s just the streets of Paris are so busy that it pays to be a little erratic. Patients is not a virtue of the French! Accommodation in Paris… There are many hotels and hostels in Paris, and camp sites if that’s more your thing. They are however always busy, well I found them to be, and so to ensure you have a place to sleep make sure you book in advance. Even if you don’t go through a travel agent. The first time I ...

Advantages: Cultural and Romantic
Disadvantages: People aren't too friendly

I recently visited Paris for the first time and I have to say what a great city it is. Here is my brief guide to the most romantic city in Europe. FIRSTLY: If you’ve never been to Paris then I suggest you do three things as soon as you get there. Firstly get yourself a map of the city. You can probably get one of these from your hotel although it might be a good idea to get one before you go. Secondly get a travel card. For around £15 you ... Read review

I was born in Paris 20 years ago and I have always lived there since then. Consequently I decided to write several opinions about one of the subjects I know the best: Paris. For my first opinion of this set I will talk about Paris in general. I will try to make an opinion as exhaustive as possible. But I will talk more about some places I usually go to instead of talking of well-known places that are described in every tour guide. First let’s ... Read review
