Great shots.
I wasn't a big fan of paris, having been nearly run over a few times in one day, but it does have some nice landmarks.

You're lucky you got up the Tour Eiffel...When we went there, the line was around two hours long...I'd rather walk around the city than wait two hours to go up a tower Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Beautiful shots! Cool

Nice set... what a beautiful city!

Haven't been there, but from what I hear, Paris is much like New York: a lovely and historic city, but crowded and busy.
And if you are visiting, don't expect people to adjust to you; some patience and flexibility is required. Especially if you don't speak the language.

I would have liked to see more of Paris and France.   Love the depth in #1

I've been to Paris mid october, but sadly only for 4 days.

My French is getting more terrible the longer I'm away from school  Roll Eyes. But maybe It'll improve again, when I've got the time to got to France more often.

The most crowded place I've been to in my life was the Metro at closing time. Full of people. The train was that full, that the doors couldn't lock itselfs.

All in all a great trip!

Cheers,
Fabian

sadfully, it's very true... Embarrassed we're not the most welcoming people... not the smarter too, which go together... Undecided
