I was there 3 months ago, and I went to Paris, Lyon and the Cote d'Azur.
If your in Paris I definitely recommend you to stay in the Latin Quarter, it has a lot of character with a variety of restaurants/bars/clubs and its pretty close to a lot things like Notre Dame, the Pantheon, Rue de St Georges and the Pompidou (which I also advise you to see if you like modern and contemporary art). The Eiffel Tower is extremely overrated and cheesy...only do it for the sake of saying you've been there. If you have time then venture down to the Riviera (Cote d'Azur) and stay in Nice, its the city to be there. You can easily take a day trip to Cannes and Monaco which is like, 20 minutes away each way from the city. Hope that helped. |

Oh and try and speak a bit of French when ordering/buying stuff and when with a local, you'll get a better reception. I never had a problem at all from any
of the Parisians but I'm taking French in Uni.
Also and try and dress fashionable, honestly just wear your best clothes there every day, you'll quickly find out that EVERYONE and I mean everyone looks fabulous, and hot. It was strangely irritating to see other tourists who wore college sweaters and sweatpants with sneakers...they looked like shit. |

Buy a baguette with ham and cheese *Jambon-Fromage* from a street vendor, you will want to eat one every day.No. The crêpe stands. A crêpe jambon-fromage for lunch everyday = HEAVEN. Or ten or all day. You can't eat Paris better or cheaper. Le Musée d'Orsée for the WIN!!! If you want a college course in 19th Century Art in 2 hours, you get one right there! And makes you understand Modern Art by understanding its foundation by leading you from Neo-Classicism to Impressionism to Exopressionism to Abstract Art. While the Louvre is a dizzying display four paintings tall of every kind of Art. You end up like the Griswalds doing the Louvre in an hour or two. "Look at that!" "Look at THAT!!" "WE have ten minutes left, let's look at the ancient Egypt art in the last ten minutes left we have!" |

The last time I visited Paris I took this pic.
The 99 cent half pound hot dog down the street at Slots-A-Fun is heavenly. |

In addition to the crepes I recommend the croque madame. We ate those for lunch every day in Paris and it never got old. I second the "hot
chocolate" as well, if the weather is not too warm. I expected to hate Paris, (my 7 year old picked the destination), but I ended up having a great time.
Learn a few French phrases as the locals will appreciate it no matter how badly you butcher it. French people are cool, I thought people in London were the
major assholes for no reason.

I've never been to France, because it is a nation in Europe. It has a cold climate by night. My mother dislike the cold climate in outside on the
hotel/building/restaurant. Two years ago, my parents and I were planned a vacation for Beijing during my college semester break, when my mother spoke and she
didn't liked because the climate in Beijing in October 2006 was 10C/50F. We changed a plan to Bangkok, Thailand, because it lies in tropical land like here
in The Philippines.
The tickets are very expensive. |

Wifey went to PAris with my sis-in-law and had a blast.
They stayed in a Hostel and did the usual things but also went to Eurodisney. She has nothing but great things to say about Paris/Parisians... Ireland- Dublin=blast. We loved it. Italy-Venice was pretty cool. |

remind me and i'll give you the scoop on a little place where the naked women dance.
perhaps the most renowned feature is a hole in one of the walls from which, if you are a man, can choose to see it all. |

Go to the Musee des Erotique or whatever the hell it's called. It's in the seedy redlight district a block away from the Moulin Rouge and is a history
of sexual stuff. Just stay clear of the dodgy looking elderly men in overcoats. (Also known as parisian Sucksters.)
