How to visit Paris again
It made me
feel magnificent 
"Lovely!"
How I did it: The thing with trips is that you have to save money for it. Not just for the hotel and the flight but also for you stay upon arrival. You really have to decide if you think the trip is worth the money and when you have figured out that one, you can start saving especially for your trip. When you have your money saved up, look on different sites for hotels and flights. I looked for approximately a month and in the end I found a direct flight from Stockholm to Paris back and forward for 100 euro. The hotel costed 500 euros for 5 nights for me and my boyfriend. And the hotel was great by french standards, right by La Fayette and near the metro station. When you save your money, keep in mind that Paris is expensive, (As a comparison: New York was cheap by my swedish measurements and London was okey) 13 euro for a pizza and 7 euro for juice at Champs Elyssés. So keep saving up. 
Lessons & tips:
- Save money.
- And yes, Paris is the country of couture/fashion and the designers are well aware of this which makes the prices totally ridiculous. It's not worth buying Chanel just because you're in Paris. But if you do have this kind of money: Avenue Montaigne is the place to be, not Champs Elyssés.
- Eat Macarons at Laduree and eat crepés everywhere.
- All the stores are closed on Sundays, and I really mean all of them.
- Most of the museums are closed on Tuesdays, that includes Louvre.
- Speaking of Louvre: Mona Lisa is not that big of a deal. Try to see the rest of the museum
- If it's nice weather outside, spend a couple of hours in Jardin du Luxembourg, it's truly magnificent.
- The french do speak english, okey at least most of them, so don't worry about the language. But always say "Bonjour" or "Bonsoir" when you enter a store.
- If you are going to be in Paris for more then 3 days, buy a Paris Visite-card for the metro and print a metro map at www.ratp.com

Oh yes my friends, Paris is mine for 5 nights starting 5th of april this year. I’m traveling along with my boyfriend and I expect a marvelous time. He has never been to Paris so it’s the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre all over again. I love it!

After finishing my exchange course in France, my father and I were planning on coming back here with my mother, brother and sister to show them this lovely country. We did travel in the summer, but the trip was horrible. We stayed in a boaring hotel, my sister got sick we couldn’t go anywhere :( the whole trip was disperately over.
I hope someday I could go back to paris and go to all the places I coudn’t go to before. I want to go to the louvre and have the FULL tour, go to the Opera, have a dinner on the Sien, go to the top of Effiel Tower and Arc Du Triumph, and hear the bells of Notre Dame.
I hope someday..

I’ve been to Paris two times in my life. I know, it’s more time then a lot of other people but it was many years ago. I know I really want to the visit Paris with my boyfriend since 3 years back. It would be truly amazing. I just need the money.

I’ve been last month in Paris, I’ve had the best of time in the 9 days I’ve spent there. Never walked so much during a day in my life… now I’m pondering on moving there for a while but there are a few things in the way like only being able to understand French but not speak it and some others.
Anyway, just wanted to say that a trip to Paris is very much worth it, you’ll be wanting more afterwards. I got asked for directions on 5 occasions, I thought it was funny they’ve asked me… I wasn’t carrying a camera (most of the time) or a map – probably that’s why. The Eiffel Tower is just superb at night and it follows you almost everywhere.

I loved Paris but just wasn’t there long enough to completely enjoy the beauty. I will go again and have some delicious veg baguettes and stroll by the river, admiring the artists and their work. I’ll walk down by the Eiffel Tower and score a crepe with nutella, I’ll go to the Crazy Horse, and perhaps I’ll see the gorgeous young baguette boy who asked me to join him New Year’s Eve 1999.
