I was in Paris when I was 18 years old. I thought it was very easy to get around on the Metro (subway) and I don't speak any French, just German. It is a lovely city.

One day, we had lunch near the Louvre. It was very expensive and the waiter kept telling us we hadn't paid enough money.

Our group of 16-18 year old women did have an experience with a group of drunken French Sailors near the Basilica of the Sacre Coeur of Montmartre, but we successfully fought them off.

My son was just in Paris this May. His night photos of the Eiffel Tower were impressive. I didn't get to see the tower at night, only during the day. It looks worth seeing it in both the day and night.
