Pros: Wonderful Architecture and History Cons: Expensive and yes, French people are not willing to speak English
First time in Paris? You need the info...so, here is my essential guidance to the French capital. I had a whole week to spend in Europe and since it was my first time in the Old Continent I've decided for Paris. No regrets, it is in my opinion one of ...

Pros: beautiful sites, a visit to this city was a dream-come-true Cons: expensive public transportation
In the summer of 2000 I decided to go on a short city break from London to Paris to visit a friend and participate in the Bastille’s Day celebrations. I bought my ticket on BUZZ (my review on this airline can be found here:

Pros: Museums, architecture, churches, city with a long history Cons: Hmm....
I wonder how they check all the people that come to Paris by train. After all we came from a different country and no one checked our passports when we left Amsterdam. We were stopped by customs officers right after we came off the train and they were a...

Pros: Beauty, Cleanliness, Architecture, Romance, Food Cons: Crowded in the high season, and very expensive in light of the current exchange rate.
I know “diary-style” reports aren’t everyone’s favorite, but it’s the easiest way for me to keep up with things I most enjoy each day. Day One: The hub-unit and I flew all night out of Miami, and arrived in Paris ...

Pros: Clean, safe and beautiful, Métro, La Défence, the French people and the food. Cons: Barbes Rochechouart, La 10eme
It is perfectly possible to 'do' Paris in a weekend from London by Eurostar, and highly recommendable for our Transatlantic friends who wish to add some Gallic spice to their sojourn in Britain.
I managed to get Eurostar tickets and two...

Pros: excellent food, good service Cons: the waitress will probably mock you
Review Topic: Restaurants
My brother and I entered Le Bec Rouge for the third evening in a row. The dark-haired waitress gave us a knowing and somewhat amused look. She knew that my brother would order a Coke and that I...

Pros: great shopping, prices not bad on most things Cons: too many fat americans
I didn't read the other reviews. But I can imagine they were written by tourists and therefore won't help you to get by on a short dollar. I lived in Paris for 2.5 months from May to August 2002. I learned quite a lot about survival in Paris.

Pros: Many places to see, a wide range of food, the Metro subway! Cons: expensive for food
I don't get much vacation time these days so I have to make that vacation time count. This year my vacation fell on the last week of March to a few days in April. I've been mostly through the Eastern coast of the US and various parts of Asia...

Pros: Great historical significance, lots of art Cons: Great historical stench, lots of dog poop
Although my trip to Paris was many years ago, I can still remember it like yesterday. Okay...last week. Alright, maybe a month ago. Sigh. I admit it. It was awhile back, but I do have fun memories and not so fun memories of the city.
I...

Pros: Just as you imagine Cons: Hard work unless you try to speak a little French
One Friday afternoon, about this time last year I was in the office, sitting at my desk board to death, looking out over the grey Manchester skyline thinking to myself there really must be more to life than this. I started thinking along the lines of ...

Pros: Fabulous sights, wonderful food, fascinating history, & romantic ambiance. Cons: Cigarette Smoke in Restaurants
Ahhh, Paris. What can't one say about Paris? Some of the best memories of my life are intimately related to this most spectacular of cities. Besides, how can I dislike the place where I proposed to my wife?
For those interested in traveling to...

Pros: 1,000 Cons: 0
... Notre-Dame de Paris is a Holy place (cf. 03/14/00 The best review about Paris).
Conversely, Versailles, the home of Louis XIV, the Sun King, is an exaggerated, gilt-edged version of Xanadu. "Easily the most self-indulgent, gaudy, overdone,...

Pros: 1,000 Cons: 0
I am Frenchman, from the south of France, and I am living in Oklahoma from several months now. But I miss Paris.
Indeed I spent one year in Paris, last year, and I fell in love with Paris.
Before living in Paris, I had a lot of pre-made ideas...

Pros: superb city of discovery. Cons: Expensive
Once a year, I go to Paris to see the Christmas illuminations. They are wonderful, and part of my Christmas treat to myself. I suppose to me it is no different than English people going to London. I live in France and this is the capital. There is so ...
