YES!

Funny, was in San Diego recently and even though it's teeming with legit Mexican places, best food I had was Lebanese!

Sure the art is incredible but it really is just a fun city to take your time technically doing nothing.

Though definitely take the train there.


All of this. Paris is actually one of my favorite places to visit solo.

I don’t know people who hated it. I think Paris is one of those cities that has something for everyone. I guess if someone hates big cities in general, maybe they would hate it, but that’s not specific to Paris.

NP- It is AWFUL, but for some reason France isn't eager to increase traffic from the US to other airports. It's too bad.

everyone will have a different take on things

need to go and find out for yourself

for me, yes....especially the louvre

eurostar is an excellent suggestion (~3.5 hours)....CDG and ORY are pure chaos

Yes absolutely. I've been there 3 x and would visit again if I'm in Europe and have the time. Agree with easy train ride from Amsterdam.

We went to Paris (and London) this past March and the weather was fine. No rain, and I didn't need a heavy coat-- just a trench coat or a corduroy blazer, with a thin wool scarf when it was chillier.

I can't read all the responses, but Paris is ALWAYS worth it.

This is good advice.
