Well... I only visited Paris once, and it was just for a few hours I went with my class in high school, we went to the Louvres museum, and Opéra Garnier (a magical place), and I saw Notre-Dame de Paris, and that's it XD I only saw the Eiffel Tower for a few seconds and from far away, so I can't give my opinion on the city. I just know that I will never live there, because it's too big. My sister went there one day for work and she said that she would never live there either because people are too busy and don't pay attention to you, etc... but what I'm saying doesn't help you since you just want to visit the city and not live there I think it's still something to do, but if you go to France, don't visit only Paris, the country has so many different landscapes. I'm fed up of seeing people sometimes talking about Paris as if it was the entire country.
