Paris, for the 10th time was Perfect!. This is not so much a review of Paris, but a Warning about the hotel we stayed at. Hotel Little Regina:89 Boulevard De Strasbourg, 10th arr., 75010 Paris, France –. Site picture is NOT what you get. It is a Bait-and-Switch. You think you are getting one room, BUT, Nooooooo.If you want to feel like you are in a terrorist prison cell, then this is the place for you. It was sooooo tiny. They stuck in a second bed adjacent to the window, so access to the closet and shelves could only be gained by climbing up on the bed.The WC was at another end of the unit, so to get to it, you would have to negotiate around a night stand, then a corner, IN THE DARK!(I had to buy a flashlight for my Mother so she wouldn't stub her toes in the night).The oscillating fan could only be used from the corner, so no fresh air,no AC.In the double-bed, since my husband slept in the "Aisle" spot, I was up against the wall. Nice on a hot August night with the fan blowing hot air on you because you can't open the window because the person sleeping next to it will be kept awake by the street noise traffic.Even the Wi-Fi didn't work, had to go to the lobby to use when doing pre-checkin for airport.Charged for an extra day of VAT even though we left early.The best part of the Hotel Little Regina was leaving. So if you want a really small squashed rat-hole, with a maze-like configuration, this this is the place for you. TIP: Check out the online sites. There are sooooo many other places around there that they will treat you nice, value you business, give you a little respect, and, not as expensive. 10th time in Paris, worst hotel Ever! Stay Away from this place.

Lots to do and see so plan your trip. Otherwise you might be overwhelmed by the number of things available. If possible, travel outside the summer holidays to avoid the crowds and the heat. Wear good walking shoes - you will walk a lot so be prepared! Try to book in advance where possible - it helps with the queues at the various sights. Do walk..... there are many other lovely things to do and see which are not listed on the main 'things to do' sites. Buy a 10 ticket carnet for the Metro - easy to use and less hassle than buying tickets each time - also cheaper!

I could spend weeks just trying to see everything at the Louvre. Shops are great.There is endless variety and no end of options for eating out. It is,however, very expensive. Beware of tuktuks if you are on a restricted budget as we paid on a per person basis and incurred double charge for being taken a few hundred yards beyond the Arc de Triumph and an extra ten euros!! I must admit that in the rain it was an experience, particularly in heavy traffic! Another point, if you buy a carnet of metro tickets, do not store them in a purse with a magnetic clasp.

Paris is a city you could live in your whole life and never experience everything. We were struck by the constant beauty and spent a portion of each day just walking around to observe the architecture and gardens. For the hitlist - the Eiffel Tower or the Mona Lisa - we found it helpful to spring for the "fast pass" equivalents so that most time can be spent exploring and not waiting in line. There are so many museums and cultural sites, but our favorite experiences were finding a small wine bar in the Latin Quarter, chatting with locals, and then walking back at night to see the Eiffel Tower sparkle. Paris is magic.

Paris is always...a good idea. Although crowded(especially in the summer), it's really worth it! It's just overwhelming to see how much of a people city it really is. What I mean by that is that it is designed for the people and not for the cars. You can really feel that Parisian vibe in it! You have everything in it, from art and history, to sheer fun and socializing! You can feel the grandeur of the city after a short time you arrive in it. Try it all, from their macarons and croissants to a escargots and boeuf tartar. That what is means to truly enjoy a city and a culture! If you live in a city that is not so well developed, you will find the cultural diversity here really overwhelming but you will get used to it after a while. It's really nice! People from all over the world are living and traveling here. We travelled fast and quick by metro but please, do indulge yourself with the mighty and simple walking and also taking the bus from time to time. That is how you can really feel the vibe of the streets and the city itself. Louvre...my god! We barely got to see the first wing(the "stars wing", it's how one of the employees named it!. This museum is just inexplicably huge! One day for each wing is really where it's at! Orsay...just go! It's really worth it! It's chick and it holds some real treasures in there! If you're like me and love Monet, Degas, Manet, Pissarro, Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, you have to go there! Other than that, Arc de Triomphe, Opera Garnier, Eifel Tower(just the 2nd floor will do), Montmarte, Sacre Coeur, Verssailles-it's amazing! Just an endless land of green space and you can ride the bikes! I am an outdoor person and I really enjoyed Versailles, both the palace and especially the gardens and then the public park.

we did the usual sights but our favourites was a coffee when walking the left bank, exploring the Latin Quarter and Montmartre. The Opera house in Paris opera is a must an amazing building and reasonable 12 euro per adult.
