I know, I know... how could I think the City of Lights, a lovely romantic city like Paris is anything but great? The problem with Paris is that you spend more time below it than on top of it! We use the Metro to get around and I find we spend most of our time in the subway rather than enjoying Paris. When you are on top, it is breathtaking beautiful. The buildings are lovely. The people are well dressed. The shops full of interesting foods and goods like these lovely scallops in a fish shop.
The subways are extensive, large, humid, and a little dangerous feeling. There are always buskers. You think you have safely gotten on the right train, only to have a team of accordion players and their amplifier, hop on the train and start playing and asking for money.
I love the tall, tall doors in Paris.
The flower shops
The chocolates!!!
