My second time in Paris

by Petrosken - last update: Sep 2, 2003

My first time in Paris was 14 years ago, when I was 18. I decided to visist the city again because I was sure I've missed something during my first trip. Too young, different interestes, you can imagine.
I went to all the places I had been that first time to feel the difference, and of course I saw a LOT more.

There are so many pages about this city that I feel I cannot add too much. I hope you'll like my photographs.

Comments are welcome.

To visit or not to visit, this is the question

Before to write this chapter I wandered around the "must see", the "traps" and so on. What I observed is that many writers blindily say "this/that place is not worth the effort". I think that every reader can add the "in my opinion" prefix to this phrases but the writers should be more careful about what they write (in my opinion :)

I think the point is the reason a person goes visiting Paris. I try to list some:
1. architecture and art in general
2. eating and drinking
3. the night life

I heard people saying that the Louvre is absolutely NOT worth the effort. Quite questionable. I liked the museum and I'm not properly an art lover.

So to visit or not to visit is a matter of taste. I suffered 2 hours of cue at Notre Dame (not to speak of the stairs) just to take a close shots of the gargoyles.
