Wonderful Paris
We spent more than a week in Paris (from Tuesday the 8th of June until Saturday the 19th of June) and it was nice to have lots of time to look around. We arrived in Paris by train (Thaly) from Amsterdam. more
Impressions de Paris
Even if we have had only 4 days to visit Paris, we could see quite a number of wonders, each of which struck us in a different way. Because of climatic conditions (it was pouring the first two days) we couldn’t stroll up and down parks. I don’t think a mo... more
Mon Dieu - Not another report on Paris!
The ‘City of Lights’ is an obvious stop on any tour of Europe, and so my high school group visited it for three days on our Summer 2000 trip. Paris is one of the few places I’ve visited that was exactly as I had pictured it, from its famous monuments to t... more
Some cheese with that wine?
Great city. Anything on a cultural scale is here. Significant Arab, southern European, African (all over), North American, and Asian populations make this city one of the most diverse in the world. It is the perfect spot to dig into Europe as there are nu... more
Quick time in Paris
My first time in Paris was for a 24hrs tour while waiting to leave the country after back packing in Auvergne (the South of France) for 10days. We ran in and out of the metro. Took pictures of the' main attractions, ate hot food (finally) and called it ou... more
An American In Paris...
Rod Stewart once sung of Paris being “…a place you could hide away if you felt you didn’t fit in.” I have to admit that some of the Parisians made me feel that I didn’t quite fit in there either, with the odd snide comments o... more
la france et le parcs
I went to school in Paris at the Sorbonne for 6 weeks and lived in Paris for almost 3 months. Paris is a beautiful city full of parks, shopping, museums, and lots of people with cars that make pollution. It is a fantastic place to visit...just make sure y... more
L'amour de loin
It is impossible to put Paris in any size box. But, I will say that since childhood, I have been fascinated with France -- the place, the culture, the language, the people . . . The first time I went to Paris, I was 15 years old. It was, as the say, un co... more
Best view over Paris - in daylight or by night!
Coming into an unknown city, I love climbing a mountain or getting up onto a rooftop to gain a first impression on where I am. If you like to have an overview about the city of love, there are two good spots that I know.... more
Mike's 24 Hours in Paris!
After the 9 hour flight from Dallas, I arrived in Paris at 9.50am. I had exactly 24 hours until my return flight. I caught the Air France Shuttle Bus to the Arc de Triomphe, arriving at 11.30. With no reservations for a hotel, as I stepped off the bus, I... more
France from my point of view
France was an extraordinary experience for me. I went there with my parents in 1998. My father is in radio controlled boats, and he had World Championship there. We were camping on a lake in Courville Sur Eure and took a day excursion to Paris, but we saw... more

Paris, city of wonders.
What can i say about Paris?? The eternal city of light and life. Walk through the latin quarter, go to Montparnase or go up the Eiffel tower are just some little examples of what this city can offer to the traveler. Centuries of architecture styles, art i... more
Trudging, tennis and tunes
I really must learn to pace myself. It seemed like a good idea at the time!! Having got up at an unearthly hour of the day to make it to Ashford for the first Eurostar of the day, we arrived in Paris at 10am. Dumped our luggage with a very helfpul friend... more
Laissez les bonnes temps roulez!
In March I left rainy Germany to go to Paris, France, for a couple of days. After a few hours drive form Germany: Bon soir, Paris!! During my stay I climbed up the Eiffel Tower, went shopping on the Champs-Elysses, saw the Mona Lisa picture at the Louvre... more
The streets of Paris
Paris is candy for the eyes. Everyone has a cell phone, dogs run around unleashed, and the ones on leashes are often sitting in the labs of their owners at the outdoor bars. Businessmen sometimes roller blade to work. The smells can sometimes be overpower... more
Romantic Paris
Paris has a lot to offer, a lot to see and a lot to do. We spent a bit of time getting from place to place in their metro (underground railway). We saw just about everything there is to see in Paris, and I would like to return one day with money. It would... more

My favourite location on Earth!!!

City of light and clichés
This is the capital of France. It's big. It's nice. ...what does one say about a city which is so well-known? I like Paris, although I'm a little sceptical about the Parisians. more
quick trip in college
typically french, but worth seeing once. I was in college, and with a group of people. It was difficult to see paris in a day. There is a minature of the statue of liberty in a local river. nice to see, felt a little like home... more
Beautiful Paris
Its color was hazy blue and its sounds were muted. It was the Paris of cozy cafés and small bistros, of tiny maids rooms tucked away under eaves, of concierges who called me tu and invited me in for onion soup, conversation, and a lot of (too much) bad re... more
