I went to Paris in September, and I have to say that it did NOT meet my expectations. I mean, no one was rude to me; everyone spoke English, and looked happy about it. (It's not that I expect everyone to speak English to me wherever I go, it's just that, well, being an American, I have heard a few things about Parisians.) The people were friendly, the weather was perfect...
Arc de Triomphe after shopping on the Champs-Elysées
This place I am sure of! It's the Sacre Couer Basilica. It's beautiful, and there is a great place to buy crepes across the street if you are hungry. Be sure to hold on to your purse, though!
The Paris Opera House...can you see me on the balcony???
The Eiffel Tower at night is really something to see! I think if I were to do it over again, I would skip the trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower. It took so long, and there were so many people. I preferred being in the park area below, just gazing up at the tower.
I think there are two kinds of trips: the kind where you take the time to stop and smell the roses, and the other where you take pictures of the roses while you run to the next garden. This trip was the latter. We arrived late Friday night and left Sunday afternoon. So, we did the American thing and ate on the go, and that included eating at Chipotle. (Hey, don't judge--there are no Chipotles in Germany!) We did make some time for a few drinks before we left, as well as a few desserts. The awesome French cuisine I have heard so much will have to wait until the next trip. Yes, I said the next trip. I'd go again!
