Paris

Pros: rich military history
Cons: none

The Army museum is one of the richest military museums in the world. It covers warfare from prehistoric times to the present, and is well worth one of your half days in Paris.

One of the many reasons I like this museum is that it does NOT...

Pros: can be done in one day, historical artifacts
Cons: none

The old residence of the Abbey of Cluny now house the museum of the history of the middle ages, and the old Roman baths, a thoroughly interesting mix.

One of the reasons I like it so much is that I find history museums to be a wonderful break...

Pros: grand architecture, lots to see and do
Cons: spendy, crowded

Paris. Just the word conjures images of romance even for those who've never been there. The reality can be a bit different: pushy crowds, piles of dog dung on the sidewalks, unpredictable weather, ghastly high prices...

Here's my advice for...

Pros: Amazing seafood, other food's not bad, unique experience
Cons: A little pricey (but what isn't?)

For any traveler, first-timer or veteran, to Paris, La Coupole, on Boulevard Montparnasse in the 14th, on the Left Bank, is a must-go. The food may be a bit overpriced, but the absolutely unique experience and the ambience may make you forget about the...

Pros: lemon tarts, grand scale, Louvre, lots of exercise
Cons: a bit expensive, small hotel rooms, many other tourists, and lots of exercise

When the sun is shining and the weather is warm, there can only be handful of other cities that can compare to Paris. Traveling off-season will keep you away from the throngs of tourists. Early spring can be wet and cold, but early fall can be sunny and...

Pros: Beautiful landmarks, great history, some areas were lovely
Cons: Very cold, rainy. Citizens were rude. You end up with a lot of loose change that you can't spend.

Just kidding. I don't love Paris in the springtime. What I'm talking about is atrocious weather and rude citizens! I recently went to Paris with a group of fellow students from my school. We took the trip in April, and spent a week there. After a...

Pros: good
Cons: good

Visiting Paris for the first time can be a little overwhelming. There is so much history and so many sights to see. I've asked a friend of mine, Leonard Oakland, who has been introducing students to Paris through Whitworth College study tours for over...

Pros: Lovely vistas and....it's Paris after all!
Cons: Everything cost about 10x more than we expected

How can you really "Describe Paris," as the epinion says? All my life I'd wanted to go to Paris. I was a French major, but hadn't used the language in years. We were in London shortly after the opening of the "chunnel," that super...

Pros: good
Cons: good

Paris is truly the heart of France. Throughout history everything of importance in France came to Paris or as close to it as possible. This works to the advantage of the tourist because, with Paris as headquarters, it is possible to make day trips to...

Pros: beautiful city, beautiful art
Cons: none

Pros: The wonderful food
Cons: Everything is very expensive. Bring lots of money

While visiting my family in England last year (November), I surprised my fiance with a weekend in Paris. The flight from England to Charles de Gaulle airport was less than $100 each but the hotel was terribly expensive. Food bought at street vendors,...

Pros: History, Breath taking Views, Architecture, The "experience" as a whole
Cons: cost, people not very friendly

Many may think that "Been There, Done That" is a major oversimplification of a wonderful city, but I cannot describe it any other way. Paris was amazingly beautiful...awe inspiring and a significant memory from my past that I will never...

Pros: Storefronts, gardens, restored buildings, food, cheese
Cons: Our hotel room was rather small, but we weren't in it that much luckily.

Just recently returned from a sojourn to Paris, I went with my mother on a whim after leaving my former firm. Decided to be utterly spontaneous and go to a city that I had not truly experienced before. Actually, I had gone with a group of students from...

Pros: History, Eiffel Tower, Beautiful People and CREPES
Cons: The Pigieon crap, Snooty french dudes and the dirt

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: Wonderful setting on the Riviera
Cons: Too much to do!

When I had an opportunity to go to Perpignan, France, I said "where?". Trying never to miss an opportunity like this, I started doing a little homework! I became somewhat familiar with this place that I was definitely going to! Perpignan is...
