Overall

We just came back from 4 days in Paris. It was a nice trip but nothing exciting. The food is lovely, but is certainly possible to get a bad meal. I was surprised that a city where they have such amazing produce markets, it's difficult to find veggies in a restaurant! The pastries, bread and ice cream are definitely the best in the world. Shopping is good and the toy shops and book store are wonderful, expect to pay for what you get though. It's not a place for bargain shopping unless it's during sales time. We surprisingly found the people to be friendly and open, which isn't their reputation! We were with our two year old and she was welcomed and spoken to everywhere we went. While we had a nice time I think that part of why it wasn't fabulous was that it's just a big city, like so many other cities in the world.
