"Paris ... City of Lights" Paris by Helga67
Paris Travel Guide: 22,160 reviews and 53,864 photos
For some, Paris represents a city of romance, for others, the French capital is a mix of writers and artists.
On all sorts of levels, historical, architectural, cultural, this is a fascinating city.
- Pros:Excellent underground system, impressive architecture
- Cons:Expensive, traffic, presumptuous waiters

Pollution, traffic, higher prices than anywhere on the planet for mediocre food and wine, and lack of any customer service is what you will experience here. It is historically interesting if French medieval history is your concern.
The worst restaurant experience I have ever had and want to have. Beautiful setting and decor but I noted 1 hour and 5 minutes and we hadn't got a bottle of water or wine after asking 3 times....complete mis management since the moment we sat down..
Lovely Paris - Good to know about the location of Ibis Hotel, and taking the Thalys is comfortable
liked your info on the paris metro system very well put together..well done..helga67
Glad you had such good times in Paris. I've never taken the Thalys train, but starting in December 2007 there will be a TGV line between Frankfurt and Paris.
Helga, it is a delight to visit this romantic city through your page. Great tips, awesome pics. That new digital camera was definitely worth it. Hello from Manila.
A really helpful page on Paris! I'll let you know when I gather enough inspiration to write mine..
Wonderful page. Hope to be in the great city in winter. It seems before I go I should tell my friends 'if i'll be lost, seek me in Louvre" :-))
Great page really,the night Eiffel shot at HP is cool :).
Great page about Paris Helga!!! Great idea to go up the Eifel tower at night, I didn't know that was possible. Have to remember that for a next time I visit :-)))
