Paris

Pros: Low crowds
Cons: chilly weather

My husband and I took a week-long trip to Paris in early February 1998 thanks to a super airfare deal on Northwest. It's the greatest vacation we've ever had! Don't be afraid to go discover the world on your own - you don't need the 4- and 5- star hotels...

Pros: Interesting, inexpensive
Cons: cold (bring a sweater)

If there is one thing on this earth that I thought could steal my heart I would have never guessed it could be a CITY!!
Well, my friends, this place that Napolean once ruled and where Marie Antionette lost her head has done it too me. I love this...

Pros: A dessert paradise!
Cons: None unless you are a health food addict

I think I indulge myself more in Paris than in any other city. So many tempting treats lie hidden in every corner of every arrondissement. Parisians have certainly mastered the art of window displays. Who can resist the rainbow of assorted pastries,...

This Epinion is part of a French write- off, hosted by pambo, in celebration of Bastille Day. A listing of participants is included at the end of my review.

Paris, France is world- renowned city that conjures up images of romance,...

Pros: Paris can be cheap
Cons: None

Does Paris for pennies sound far-fetched and ludicrous? Believe me, after seven trips to the City of Lights, it's quite possible. Of course, you'll need to conjure up the money for the plane ride, but with a little creativity, and an optimistically...

Pros: The visuals are unforgettable
Cons: It is expensive.

After you've spent a day touring the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum and a host of other classic stops, reserve enough time and money to take your seat in the Lido, my favorite cabaret in Paris.

There are several cabarets on or adjacent to...

Cons: I like travel above ground for the views

I know you have probably heard all about the Metro in Paris but I need to add my voice to the chorus on how wonderful it is.

I used the Metro only a few times on my recent trip to Paris. For the most part I walked because I was going to...

Pros: sweet smells
Cons: they party too much

Paris is for the dogs! It's not for the people, it's for the dogs! Unless you particularly LIKE dodging doggy dung.

Now, as a dog, I rather enjoyed it, but my master was exhibiting some pretty strange behavior. I was able to smell...

Pros: Great seafood
Cons: Cramped, noisy, expensive

One of Paris most famous brasseries—indeed, one of its best known restaurants—is La Coupole, 102 blvd. du Montparnasse, located in the 14th in the heart of the Montparnasse nightlife district, a couple of miles south/south west of the intersection of St. ...

Pros: The historical aura is overwhelming...
Cons: Comparable to NYC as far as P in the subways...

Well, it was Spring Break 2001, with St. Patty's Day (our first anniversary) falling on a Saturday, and I figured, why not? So I emptied out my bank account and, voila! The Stunner and I were on our way to Paris courtesy of Air France.

...

Pros: Super location, super price, and the staff treats you great!
Cons: Can be hard to get a room in summer months.

After HOURS upon hours of researching where to stay in Paris, I finally found the perfect budget hotel! Le Grand Hôtel Lévêque, in the 7th arrondissement, or district. It is less than $50 for a single, and a little more for doubles and triples....
