Overall

Paris is amazing. My favourite areas are the Marais east of the Pompidou centre, stunning and sexy and nice and gay, the Latin Quarter, which is the most sexy place I've ever been, the young people there are so cool, and the 16th arr. which is very posh and very beautiful. The museum of modern art for the city of Paris is under-rated. Areas to avoid are Les Halles and the Grands Boulevards, where I almost got mugged - both dangerous, especially at night, and apart from the Marais, the right bank is pretty stuck up and the bars there expensive and boring and the service, awful. And don't stay in the cheap youth hostels or B&Bs unless you want your handbag / wallet nicked.
