I did not have high expectations of the city. I had been told that it was dirty, full of rats, and that people were rude - but everything turned out to be completely the opposite.
The city was very clean, the people were friendly, and even the bus drivers were kind and did their best to help us.
We visited:
Eiffel Tower
Louvre
Arc de Triomphe
Jardin des Tuileries / Jardin du Luxembourg
Notre Dame
Seine cruise
Parc des Princes
Petit Palais
Square Louise Michel
Galeries Lafayette
One thing I noticed throughout the entire trip was how fashion-conscious everyone is. People are very stylish, attractive, and relaxed.
Also, a big thumbs up for bike lanes. Many people prefer cycling rather than using the metro or bus.
The only downside was crowds and language barriers.
Merci et au revoir, Paris.
