Upturned noses. Also croissants.

True! :yes:

But apart from that you will also find one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Some really nice people. Great art and fashion. Great food (albeit rather expensive). An efficient but confusing metro system. Great street cafes for people watching... And you must visit Montmarte...
Have a lovely time! Vive La France!

I hope you have some idea of what to expect and where to go. The Louvre, Musée du quai Branly (Quai Branly Museum), Père Lachaise Cemetery etc.
In general expect great restaurants and cafes, mesmerizing architecture, iconic landmarks, and I have to disagree about the Metro, which I find to be very inferior to the British underground, but it gets you from A to B which is all that you need. When it comes to people, expect to see plenty of tourists around you, and a multicultural Parisian atmosphere of Jewish areas (La Marais), Algerians and North Africans, and other faces who create the melange of Parisian culture.

Paris is beautiful, you'll love it.

Try and get to Montmartre - the most beautiful place.

Thank you very much!

Take me with you!

I want to go Paris, so badly. I joke with my sister often. Her boyfriend is in the military and wants to take her around the world. I'm hoping they will let me stow away in a suit case when they see Europe.
