Overall

Paris was an amazing city to visit! It's not what you expect, because it's much, MUCH more. There is SOOOOOOO much to do, see, eat, drink, or go to that you could stay there for a month and not see all there is to see. If you go to Paris, I highly reccomend that you learn basic french, i.e. how to order, general pronouciation, etc. because the people there are much more willing to help you if you at least try and speak the language. I would also highly reccomend buying from a small market, bakery, etc for at least one meal, you will be surprised at what you can make yourself from some very cheap ingridients! The only problem I encountered in Paris was at the eiffel tower and the courtyard at notre dame, because there are people who will try and get money from you. All you have to do is FIRMLY say no, and they will usually leave you alone. Around the major attractions, there are usually police officers who spot the trouble quickly and get the person out of the area. It's rather funny actually, because the beggars aren't very creative- i saw the same scam 3 times, using a photocopied paper! Overall, Paris is the best place I have ever visited, and I would highly reccomend it for anyone! (by the way- If going there in the winter, i would not bring a bright coat, as i did, because you will stick out like a sore thumb!)
