I have been to Paris a number of times, but actually never written about it. I remember the first time I went, I was 16 and I was in love. I had big dreams before the trip on how romantic and beautiful everything would be. I stayed less than 24 hours and took the bus back to Germany on the same evening. But all I remember was a horrible trip and my impression of Paris were rather on the negative end. However over the years and in such close proximity I have become acquaint with Paris and its culture. I certainly would not compare Paris to other French cities, but there are elements I am sure everyone would enjoy. Although I have to admit, while Paris is not my personal favourite, it certainly is a place not to be missed when you are in Europe. I mean, come on, this is Paris after all.
