I love Paris ! I think most everyone who visits this city will just love it! I’m not really sure about people living in Paris though, but I still think most people living there love the city. Being a large city, Paris offers everything to everyone in terms of entertainment, food and tourist attractions. It is hard to pick the best tourist attractions, but if you’re only spending a few days in Paris you’re better off sticking with the well known tourist attractions. These Paris tourist attractions are what makes Paris famous, so they are worth seeing them.
How to get to Paris
Paris is a transportation hub! This means there are many ways to get into Paris. Paris has a few airports with Charles de Gaulle being the largest. If you’re coming from the USA you will most likely arrive at Charles de Gaulle. If you’re flying one of the low cost European airlines you will come into Paris Beauvais or Paris Orly. If you’re using the train you will most likely arrive at Paris Garre du Nord (if you’re coming from North of Paris) or Paris Garre du Lyon (if you’re coming from South of Paris). Once in Paris, the best way to get around is the subway, as long as there is no workers’ strike (which happens pretty often).

Paris is best seen without a car
If you get to visit the city though, make sure you use public transportation. Here in the States we rely way too much on our cars, especially in California. However, if you visit France don’t even think about renting a car just for visiting Paris…you’ll hate it! Plus, it will be very expensive and you’ll miss out on the walking. I think walking and public transportation are the best things in Paris (besides all the sites of course). You get to see the corner shops and sample regular food (not only fancy restaurants) and you get to see lots of people going about their daily life. Hmmm…and a definite bonus about walking would be that you get to lose weight. This way you can eat even more of the great French food 
Modern buildings in La Defense are completely separated from the old city center was a very smart idea for Paris, France.
