One of the first things you notice when you walk around Paris is this: the French capital is just as you imagine it. Parisians lounge outside cafés drinking coffee, budding artists sketch whatever passes them into their sketch pads, and everywhere you look is another building which causes an immediate reaction to grab for your camera. Some of the world's best museums can be found here, the list of instantly recognisable landmarks is a lengthy one, and the nightlife is electric to say the least. But one of the French capital's best attributes is that when you want to do nothing but sit back and relax, it's hard to think of a better city in the world to people watch.

Download GuideA big city, definitely lots of things to see. However, people in paris is not very nice. I was yawled twice by a cleaning lady in the bathroom under Notre Dame and the reception desk in Versailles. But in general it's really fun.
Insider Tip:if you want to skip the line in front of the Louve, don't leave the metro station and enter from the mall.
as everyone else says i need to say it to.. if you dont know french the parisians are a bit rude, and ignorant. and yeah they do look angry for some reason haha!.i had to see it for my self ;) the town it self are pretty and disgusting at the same time!. we took a whole day with guided tours in town and in mont martre and even a pubcrawl and that was great! but going out by our self the first night was a bit lame, and the metro ends around 1am. and its alot of hobos, rats and gypsis, beware!
Insider Tip:Thee free tour are Great!
People said that Paris would be great to visit as a couple, I was worried it would be to romantic themed and not enough for regular travelers. I'm female & went with a male friend. But it was still fun!! The city is beautiful, it's impossible to cover even a quarter of it in 1 trip. It's easy to walk places and get to the subway. Moulin Rouge is expensive, everything is expensive, any beverage is 5€ which is $7.50. People were rude and the french language is hard to pronounce, but it's worth it.
Insider Tip:If you're on a budget bring a water bottle and fill up when you can, beverages are very expensive, we drank tap water all over Europe and had no problems, plus it tasted fine. If you're going to visit Jim Morrison's Grave at Pere LaChaise, most likely it's out of your way and it closes at 5 I think so plan ahead! To get into Paris from the airport you can take the train then change over at Paris Nord to the subway, which you have to find your way to the subway first, which can be very frustrating.
Funcionários educadíssimos. Perto da estação do metrô. Quarto e banheiro extremament limpos e bem-cuidados. Café da manhã bom e total apoio ao viajante. Very polite staff. Near from train station Les Gobelins. Room and WC extremely clean. Breakfast was good! I recommend! Wi-fi working very well
Go to Giverny, just outside Paris, to see the home of Claude Monet. His home was the inspiration for his paintings. It is like walking into living art...just breathtaking.
