Paris

Pros: Cheap Cheap Cheap
Cons: Filthy, felt unsafe, did not "enhance" my travel

While staying in Paris, I encountered two hostels, more than a few Americans, Aussies, and Kiwis, and had a fabulous time.

Don't get me wrong--it was work. The first hostel we arrived in was at the D'Artganan in Port De Bagnolet. We had to...

Pros: a beautiful city
Cons: museams a no-no if you have kids (or teens)

Paris is no doubt a beautiful city but if you going with kids or teens watch out. Paris is one of the most beautiful and popular cities in the world but you've got to be cautious where you take your children or teens or they will be bored to tears!...

Pros: Food , Sights, People
Cons: Disgruntled locals, steamed salmon sandwiches

Paris is the city of love. Love the people. Love the language. Love the food.
My first trip to this beautiful city was in the middle of June. The weather was very nice, considering what the weather in the states was like. The people were...

Pros: Romantic, cheap
Cons: Steep stairs

When I was in Paris, I stayed in the Latin Quarter. I was only there for three days but this area seemed to be very close to everything and only a short metro away from everything else. Anyway, if your looking for that true Paris feel about the place...

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...

Pros: Many beautiful sites in just one city
Cons: Some services are quite expensive

Review Topic:  Sights & Attractions

My boyfriend and I went to Paris in April. I believe this is an ideal month to visit this wonderful city. The temperatures are between 60 and 43 degrees (high and low). There could be...

Pros: It will break your heart to leave Paris...
Cons: The frequent strikes and demonstrations can bug the tourist!

When I left Paris after 14 unforgettable months, my tears caused the Seine to flood. It wasn't as if Paris and its haughty residents didn't rub me the wrong way. Paris can be moody. The Parisian's temperament fluctuates with the city's weather, trust...

Pros: The sites, sounds, historical places
Cons: It's expensive

Why take a vacation when you can TAKE A VACATION...go to France, go to Italy...go to Switzerland, but go! The most fun I ever had was in Paris. I had heard how dirty the city was, how unfriendly the French were and just about everything negative...

Pros: Futureland has the attractions unique to Disneyland Paris; a heavy Jules Verne theme
Cons: Untidy, smokers in waiting lines, women coming into to men's room to use the stalls when their lines were too long, hard to have fun spending money

In 1993, my wife and I were living in Germany and had three young daughters aged 1, 6 and 7--about the right time to introduce them, and ourselves, to the Disney experience (you know, see the movie and then ride the ride). We took them to what was then...

Pros: Easy public transportation, great art, food, wine and architecture.
Cons: a bit expensive

Paris is a fabulous city. Although for many, Paris is only one stop on a European vacation, it certainly deserves it's own week or two.
I say "Paris for Beginners" because I did Paris as a European beginner, but had the benefit of several...

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: friendly, open minded people, settle in very quickly
Cons: regular strikes on public transport, post services

Paris is just a wonderful city. I worked and lived there for 4 years and still I am returning each year. For someone who hasn't been there just for vacation or a short holiday trip, the beginners difficulties had been obvious. Hardly speaking french I...

Pros: Space, a kitchen, privacy
Cons: No daily maid service

We travel to Paris at least once a year. Up until about three years ago, we stayed at the Hotel Jeu de Paume, a charming hotel on the Ile St-Louis. However, a couple of years ago, we decided to try booking an apartment and probably will do so from now...

Pros: Fun and fascinating
Cons: Sleazy neighborhood

It was a chilly November day in Paris and we needed a little warming up. So we headed to -where else?- Pigalle, the mecca of Parisian sleaze, where we found an island of refined eroticism. Well, refined compared to "Les XXX Live Peep Shows" and...

Pros: Everyhing was beyond description
Cons: None

How can one write about such a city?

We first went at an odd time of year, March. But although it was
chilly flowers were blooming in front of a number of stores in this
marvelous city. The Hotel Vendome was reasonably priced for a...
