There is pollution and noise -- it's a city
In a nutshell
good food, good wine, good fashion, good parfume, good life !
1077 Reviews Tour d'Eiffel was constructed for the purpose of World's fair in 1889. It seems as a light openwork construction from 15000 welded metal details. Its height is 320 m. You can watch my 5 min 16 sec Video Paris Tour Eiffel out of my Youtube channel.
717 Reviews This is my nomination for the ugliest building in Paris. Or at least the ugliest prominent building. Paris like all cities has numerous ugly buildings, but most of them are smaller and are tucked away in side streets where they only nauseate their immediate neighbors. Sacré-Coeur, though, is...

38 Reviews 2nd visit July 2011 to Versailles location inside the palace, try to go to the Rue de Rivoli location if you have the time, so much better! There are many menu items on Angelina's menu, indeed we saw several people eating sandwiches and salads but my focus for my birthday splurge was two of the...
97 Reviews The Moulin Rouge is the best known night club-theater of Paris. It opended in1889 at the so-called Belle Epoque. 20 years later it was here where the Cancan got its fame. Later the building became a Music Hall and nowadays it's the center for revues. Entrance fees are from 90€ to 200€
52 Reviews I recently stayed with Feels Like Home in Paris in a beautiful apartment located just beside Scare Coeur. My favorite thing to do in Paris was to grab a picnic and head up to the steps of Sacre Coeur and sit amongst throngs of other people enjoying the amazing views. The whole vibe is amazing with...
542 Reviews Most Metro stations have ticket vending machines. You can select multiple languages and the red button is for CORRECT, the green button for ACCEPT. A big metal roller underneath the screen let you step through the options displayed at the screen. Single t+ tickets are Euro 1.70; a booklet of 10...

I will be there tomorrow by Virgin/Fnac at C-E with my 3 boys shopping our hearts contents all over the big avenue;then head over to the Port de Suffren for Maxim's the...
115 Reviews Before our trip to Paris, my French vocabulary consisted of "croissant" and "crepe" - pronounced improperly, I may add. Armed with just these two terms, I figured we wouldn't starve but wouldn't be making any friends either. And a week of bread and pancakes would not do my waistline ANY favors?...
33 Reviews If you want to look like a local, make sure you are wearing a nice scarf, matched with your coat, artfully knotted around your neck. Even on a rather warm September day when we were sweating, people were wearing scarves with their short sleeve shirts. There is apparently an art to it, Fodor's 2011...
189 Reviews I stayed in Paris for a week and never had any problems, took the metro everyday. we were staying in Montmatre so would catch the metro back to there from wherever we went. We also drove around France for about 3 weeks and never had any problems and visited many major cities. We were never even...
Beggars and Aggressive Vendors
109 Reviews There are many beggars in Paris. Many operate round the churches, and other tourist destinations. Apparently in Paris it is illegal for the beggars to approach people, they risk imprisonment if they do, so they are no where as aggressive as in other countries, but they can be off putting if you...
61 Reviews The most elaborated scam I've seen (on me!) in Paris, when someone passing through you simulates catching an gold ring and then try to give it yo you saying it was the destiny and you should keep it for health and fortune. Once you accept it, he will follow you until you give him money and threats...
59 Reviews NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! One million times NO! I went to the romantic square of Tertre and couldn't believe what I saw: the artists, expelled from the square by a dense esplanade! No! I can't believe that the good old Tertre was killed! It was the effect of the rain!...
73 Reviews After our ceremonies we were given a private tour of the Sacre Couer, Place du Tertre, and private places by Mayor Yatt. It was such a lovely and memorable morning. If anyone is interested in doing either the Wedding or Baptsim, click on the link below, and all details about the ceremonies are...
121 Reviews Another of the Parisian fountains that brought water to the overcrowded courtyards and alleys of the Popincourt/Bastoche areas. Built by Molinos under King Louis-Philippe in 1846, people could draw water here for over 150 years . Drawing its water from the Canal de l'Ourcq at some 5 kms distance,...
20 Reviews I got tickets with my wife to see Paris St.-Germain play Bordeaux, the top two teams on the table that season. This is something I would never have missed nor will I repeat it. It is on the west side of town near Bois de Boulongne. It is a very lovely stadium of 45000. I was surprised by a few...
228 Reviews Shopping was awesome please Tour the purfumerie factory and make a purchase there as well. The effel Towel was my best spot I brought a perfect basket lunch from home in Wiesbaden Germany that consisted of smoked Gouda and buttered Brotchen with fruits and Wasser. I soaked up the air and sun and...
170 Reviews I spent a day in Paris in 2009. On my way from Munich to New Delhi , I took a detour in Paris. I just had to see the Eiffel and had heard a lot about cabaret at The LIDO. I used a day pass for metro, the underground railway. It was efficient but filthy. One needs to see the Delhi Metro in India, far...
