I'm going to PARIS!?

Question

Im going to volunteer at the regional parks in south of Paris. Location Vitry / Seine 3. I am an American so i'm familiar with this area. How are the people? Are they friendly towards foreigners? How is the environment? Any good places to visit? Any good restaurants?

Answer 1

Paris is tiny compared with most other cities, you can pretty much walk or "Metro" anywhere.  Parisians generally are very friendly, though they are mostly horribly good-looking.

About the restaurants...Paris is full of them, and it would be easier to list the half-dozen to avoid the hundreds worth eating at!

Be sure to visit the Catacombs  (http://itotd.com/articles/206/paris-cata... ),  eat some cheese with a bottle of wine under the Eiffel Tower (while humming "Little Eiffel" by the Pixies, you'll meet someone interesting!), and go see François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire's body in his stone box in the Pantheon, and his heart at the Bibliotheque Nationale.
