My Experiences
To my shock, on my last visit I found the folks in Paris far friendlier than I bear in mind them from my visit 16 years ago. English seems to be spoken more now than when I was there last. It could have been the holiday time bringing joy around the world, or just a revolutionize in way of thinking towards those irritating American tourists who pour money into their economy.
During our stay, I was incredibly joyful to be treated so well by the desk agents in our hotel, and the wait staff at the restaurants we determined to visit. Our hotel was a small boutique hotel selected by my wife’s co-worker who was with her on the journey to Istanbul. She and her now spouse visit Paris often, in fact she even has relatives there, so she chose the hotel for its pretty setting and the nearby park. Needless to stay the staff treated us very well, and spoke perfect English. The desk agent even made sure that when we headed back to the airport that she came out and spoke in French Apartamentos Paristo the driver of our taxi to make sure he knew exactly where we were going.
We stayed and dined primarily in the Latin quarter. In this area, we found several small cafes that served up great French food. One late afternoon we went down a boulevard full of family run restaurants where menus were displayed in the windows. As we looked at menus we were approached by the servers and owners all contribution to serve us a great snack, either from the menu or they will make up a meal of our choosing. My wife was pregnant so we did not drink any of the French wine while there. We did like some great food from the menu. (Unfortunately I ended up coming down with the flu by the end of the weekend, which made for a long flight home.)
During one of our full days spent in the city was filled up with a city tour. We found one of the open top, double decker buses used by tour companies. I believe we ended up on the red bus as it seems like there were yellow busses, from another tour company doing the same tour. The entire circuit takes about two hours if you do not hop off and back on. We determined that hopping off at a couple of the sites was value it. In fact, we chose our stops earlier than the tour got going. That permitted us to plan out our day. (Weather was exceptionally cold and sad so on foot was not too much fun.)
We stopped at the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and near a trade centre where perfume shops were all over the place. If you have allergies those shops can be tough on your body. The sightsee guide on the Red bus was great. She explained the implication of what we saw as we drove all-around the city. We cruised down several main streets. We cruised along the side of the watercourse which has lots of good-looking sites along its banks. The tour guide pointed out the numerous architectural styles we encountered on our tour OH-Holidays. All around the Red Bus was a great way to use a day.
