Overall

After hearing how this city is the "Paris of South America and another is the "Paris of the Mid-East" I decided to check out the real deal. It's quite understandable why any city would want to be compared favorably to Paris; but Paris is really incomparable. The Metro allows one unfettered transportation everywhere. The museums are world class, the lay of the city breathtaking, the architecture amazes, and the food intoxicating. Don't believe all the talk about the French. They're extremely proud of their culture and warm up nicely to "outsiders" who appreciate that what is FRENCH. Don't try to do it all, Paris is the kind of experience that keeps you coming back, planning my 6th trip back. October is my favorite time of the year.
