I fell absolutely head over heels in love with Paris. Everything negative I've heard about it was untrue from my experiences (rude people, extremely dirty, etc.). People were very helpful, and even though they all spoke primarily French, I was able to understand a lot of it and even use a little of it. I got my hair colored on the first day, which was a nightmare, but that night we went to the top of the Eiffel Tower, which totally made up for it. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. We also visited Choco Story, a chocolate museum, and the Musée d'Orsay, which housed some hugely famous artwork. I ate very well, and I'd have to say that the food might have been my favorite part. Sushi, escargot, duck, baked apple with caramel, pizza, and even French McDonald's ... what's not to love? The metro was very easy to navigate, and the hotel we stayed in was really nice. I absolutely loved it here, and it might have been my favorite place so far.
