As the birthplace of the Age of Enlightenment and a constant trendsetter in the world of fashion, Paris has cemented itself as one of the world's must-see cities. In a country known for exceptional food, style and culture, the capital delivers on all three counts.
The city is split into 20 districts (known as 'arrondissements'), which all display their own character. Le Marais (in the fourth arrondissement) is famed for its medieval, meandering lanes, full of traditional patisseries and chic boutiques. The area is also home to the iconic cathedral of Notre-Dame, considered one of the best examples of French Gothic architecture.
The seventh arrondissement is home to some of Paris' most famous landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides and Musée d'Orsay. Neighbouring districts also have plenty to offer, such as the famous Champs-Elysées, Arc de Triomphe and Opéra Garnier. In the centre of Paris you'll find the world-famous Musée du Louvre, home to tens of thousands of works of art, including da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa'. Further outside the city, but still worth a visit, are the mysterious Catacombs and the Château de Versailles.
Each French city takes pride in its cuisine and Paris is no exception, offering some of the world's best food. You'll find everything from three-Michelin-starred establishments like Restaurant Guy Savoy, to laid-back bistros like La Mascotte.
Offering fun for visitors of all ages, Disneyland Paris is located to the east of the city, in the suburb of Marne-la-Vallée and can be reached easily by train.

People and attraction's are great, some of the signage at some of the Metro stations is hard to find but you just have to walk a little further and check all directions. Download City Mapper App, it is much better than Google maps which had me going over my own tracks several times though I did use both ,sometimes at the same time.

Paris is a fantastic city to visit however understand that some sites are very crowded. Many sites require timed tickets which need to be booked in advance. Despite timed tickets, the Louvre and Versailles are completely crowded to the point of being unbearable. Smaller sites are much better to visit -- we visited a number of smaller museums and sites that were much less crowded and enjoyable. We highly recommend getting a Paris Museum Pass or card that prepays admission at sites. You still need to get timed entries were required, but you skip the ticket purchase line entirely. If you are going to the Louvre, Versailles, or the Eiffel Tower, then this is a huge advantage. Paris is getting ready for the Olympics so there is lots of construction. I would say that English is readily spoken by most people we met, so we did not have at speak terrible French. Restaurants have added "English subtitles" to their menus, so ordering is easy. All the food was great, of course. We found people very nice and welcoming. Best of all, Paris is a walkable city and we enjoyed being out an about in the city itself. Definitely go visit Paris!
Paris was welcoming, beautiful, fun, absolutely lovely.

Paris was welcoming, beautiful, fun, absolutely lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed the museums, sights, and incredible food. Do make reservations well in advance to sights and restaurants! Also, we went to Giverny for a day, and it was phenomenal! We can’t wait to return to France again!
Expensive and crowded!
30 April 2024
Expensive and crowded! If you want to go to the Louvre or Versaille Palace book early and get there well ahead of time. Versaille sells way more tickets than they can actually accommodate so dont buy prior, just get there at first opening and be prepared to wait for ages in a long queue. We just walked away from prepaid tickets as we couldnt afford to wait in an impossibly long queue. Be careful about advice on train directions; Parisians are notorious in France for sending you the wrong way, just for fun. Except it isn't funny.

It was the second time that I visited Paris, and just like the first time it was amazing. I visited places that I didn't visit the first time so I feel satisfied. What is very important to note is that people might be discouraging to see that Paris is not as clean as they expect but we must remember that for city the highest number of tourists visit annually, it is quite normal :)

A romantic city with world class art galleries and historic buildings. Some atmospheric bistros and restaurants are a delight. The long distance underground, the RER, is very good. Metro interchanges can involve very long walks. Services are very frequent. Stations need more escalators and lifts.
