I spent 10 amazing days walking through the warm and sunny streets of Paris. My tips, just like my trip, will be organized according to the different neighborhoods we visited. I was amazed at how each had its own very special and distinct flavour - it definitely gave a lot of color to our trip!
On top of visiting museums, monuments, cemetaries, and having my fair share of delicious French cuisine and wine, I also had the great pleasure of meeting some people I have gotten to know through VT: Debora, who I first met in Montreal two years ago, along with her boyfriend Felicien and her sister Laetitia, and Linda (36waterfalls), who came all the way from The Netherlands to spend a day with me. This was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Paris, and for that I must thank VT :o)
I also spent quite a bit of time looking for the generations of writers who lost themselves in Paris. Ernest Hemingway once wrote: "If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast." - I do hope he was right, because living with Paris in my heart sure sounds like a good way to live!
- Pros:It's such a visitor-friendly city!
- Cons:The indecent number of smokers and cigarette stubs
- In a nutshell:No wonder it's the most visited city in the world!

I hope to visit Paris next september. Ciao!
Finished the remaining tips Isa and saved many onto my trip planner. Will be in Paris 7th Sept for a week
Versailles was for me the best of Europe. So beautiful, and romantic. They had to call us out at 8:00 pm.
2295 photos..... I am surprised .You are thorough. Thanks for sharing.... I am inspired too. I hope I make it to at least 100 photos. Merci Madame
Overall smoking situation in public areas improved a lot ... (true)! You'll could may be come back ... :) OMG, amazing pages you have... Bravo
Wow, you spent your 10 days about as well as could be imagined. I love this city so enjoyed very much your wonderful commentary and brilliant photos. Thanks.
You really did your homework on Paris before embarking on your trip. I was completely enthralled with your tips, especially the one pertaining to Victor Hugo.
My father worked in the U.S. Embassy for five years, affording me and my brother the opportunity to live in this wonderful city during that time frame. You found a lot of places I never heard of.
Good job on a unique and lovely Paris page! Truly one of the best cities!
I truly loved reading about your journey through Paris. I'll be traveling there alone this October. I hope my visit is half as good as yours.
