Anyone been to Paris, France?

Question

hello =] well i am going to Paris, France in may 12th. i was wondering if anybody that went there and had a good time? What places did u go to (Louvre, Versailles, Eiffel Tower...) and etc lol i just want to know if it was exciting so i know what to expect from this trip

Answer 1

I went last Spring Break and it was amazing!  The Eiffel Tower looks really amazing at night.  Whatever you do, if you bring a digital camera or anything electronic, make sure that it takes batteries, the voltage is different over there.  The Louvre was so big, I don't even think I saw everything.  And the Mona Lisa is really small.  Oh yeah, at the museums you can only take pictures of the statues because they said that the paintings are so old that the flash from the camera will destroy them.  And if you get caught taking a picture of a painting they will throw your camera away.  Shopping was cool, they measure their clothes and shoes in inches or something because the tags on my medium shirt said 34 and my size nine shoes in the US are a size 40 over there.  The food was great but sort of pricey.  My email is on my profile just in case you have any more questions.  Have fun!

Answer 2

Answer 4

I was born there and used to live there from 97 to 01. It's a truly amazing city. I hope you're there for at least a week because anything less isn't really enough. I probably don't need to tell you about some of its major monuments and attractions (Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, Sacré-Cœur (the big white basilica in Montmartre), the Champs-Elysées, the Louvre, the Luxembourg Gardens, boat rides on the Seine, etc. I'm guessing you've done some research, and any decent guidebook will tell you everything you need to know about that. Taxis can be a bit expensive so I would advise using the métro. You might want to get a "carnet" (a book of 10 tickets) to avoid having to buy a full-price ticket each time by the way. And Versailles isn't the only impressive château that can be easily reached by train as a day trip: you might also consider visiting Fontainebleau.

Answer 5

I went, but all I can remember is going to Disneyland....and I hated it. The weather sucked and when you've already been to Disneyworld in Orlando, FL you end up expecting too much of the one in Paris - resulting in it being complete c**p tbh lol.

Answer 6

I've been to Paris, and I had a great time!  There is a lot to do and see there:  Notre Dame, The Louvre, the Musee d' Orsay, the Arc de Triumph, Versailles (I highly recommend this!), The Eiffel Tower (especially at night), the famous Opera House (where "Phantom of the Opera" is based off of)...have a great trip!

Answer 7

I have been to Paris a number of times when I lived in the UK. I started going there as a school trip when I was thirteen and went back a number of times since then. Even though I have been there a few times I never got tired of it and was never bored. paris is beautiful and there is always something to see. But the atmosphere is such that even if you did not sightsee just to be there is an electric charge. Just to sit there at a cafe and drink it all in. It is very expensive but worth every bit of it. The food is great even in the smallest cafe. The women are very beautiful and poised no matter how old they are. I love French history and so visited the usual places, Versailles is stunning, Lovre. I would just say this be in the present, don't spend all your time there planning what you are going to do to morrow. Just be and enjoy it. Take lots of pictures, and open your eyes and look around you, you are in for a great experience.
