Pros: travel with ease in the city, food, shopping, people Cons: dog droppings
I studied abroad and lived in Paris for six months when I was in college (1999). The experience, the city, the people, the stores, the food, and everything else about the city was amazing. It has been said that the french people are snotty, stuck up...

Pros: All the romance Cons: Very expensive
About a year ago i got the chance to take a trip to Paris. It was one of the best trips i ever took. Though i only got to go for a few days, which isn't long enough, i had so much fun. Paris is one of the most romantic places in the world, with all...

Pros: Beautiful buildings, lots of culture Cons: Expensive
I have been to Paris three times, one time I stayed with a host family for two weeks. The city itself is beautiful, I loved the old buildings. Paris is a great town if you want to see culture and shop for fancy things.
I always went to Paris in the...

Pros: so much to see, so little time Cons: overcrowded in high season
When I went to Paris, I had three days to see everything. And I do mean everything! I didn't want to miss any of this justly famous city. I did have one advantage: it was January, so no hordes of tourists to contend with.
I stayed at the...

Pros: wonderful price for the value Cons: none I could see
During the summer we made one of our annual trips to Paris. Everything written by the songwriters and poets is true. If you don't fall in love with the "City of Light" you have a closed heart. If a city were to be graded as to tourist...

Pros: great shopping and sites Cons: cold and bad food
Paris is one incredible city!! Except for the fact that I don't speak a lick of French, I found the city to be easy to get around and gorgeous. The weather and food were not so good, but not everything is perfect. The shopping is great. Notre Dame...

Review Topic: Practical Information
I live in Paris, and am always amazed when people, specially Americans, say life is expensive here. I travelled a lot, including the USA, and I do think Paris is very cheap as for hotels and...

Pros: Gorgeous, scenic, easy transportation, good deals if you look Cons: Difficulty if non-French speaker
Visiting Paris post-August or before April helps you beat the crowds, the heat and will perhaps help you connect more with the people. Must sees in Paris for art lovers, all easy to find off the metro, are the Picasso museum, the Grand Louvre, the Rodin...

Pros: food, general attractions Cons: traffic
Though I only spent about 4 days there (not enough time), it was one of the most interesting places I have ever visited. I went to all the typical tourist attractions such as Musee d'Orsay which was nice if you like art. I got to visit the Eiffel...

Pros: Lots to do and see, historic Cons: See my opinion for my seven irks of Paris
I had heard so much about Paris that when I had the chance to go there, I was really excited. There is alot to see in Paris, so you'd better take at least two or better yet three days to explore everything in Paris. If you just want to see some of the...

Pros: very cheap, bar Cons: location, leaking roof, horrible management
I recently traveled abroad on a backpacking trip through Europe with some friends from Germany. We traveled throughout Western Europe, camping and staying in youth hostels when appropriate. We arrived in Paris with no place to stay, but was referred to...

Pros: A safe and architecturally beautiful city within easy reach of the UK. Strong exchange means prices are reasonable. Easy to get round - even if you get lost Cons: Gets very crowded particularly in holiday season.
We passed through Paris at Easter on our way to central France and spent a couple of days there, very reasonably. We all felt that Disneyland was totally overated and were very disappointed with the queues for the Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately the queues...

Pros: Many things to see Cons: Awful people, high prices
I'm french and I know my country quite good. Paris is really a beautiful place to see for a tourist, there are many many things to do and see.
I would say, on an esthetic point of view, Paris is one of the most beautiful town in France (with...

Pros: Beautiful, fairly clean, everything it's cracked up to be Cons: Language barrier may bother some travellers, expensive to go out (but well worth it)
Paris...The name alone generates images of lovers, beauty, and a rich history. All of this and more can be found in Paris, if you give it the chance.
When I saw this jewel of a city, I was lucky enough to be there in the midst of a...

Pros: You could spend weeks and not see everything Cons: Stereotype of the French seems uncomfortably accurate
I do not want this review to sound like Paris bashing, but our visit to the great city was less than "dreamy". Now, let me say I have had multitudes of people rave on and on about how romantic/exciting/blahblahblah Paris was. We bought into...
