I think your comment on how women should especially dress up is quite sexist. Both genders should look good, you don’t have to emphasize on women.

Could you please give me the website to find B&B accomodations? I won’t be staying in Paris for a week, so I’m looking for other accomodations. Thanks a lot for the tips and rough guide on prices.

for accomodations, B and B is another choice too. i got mine at 90 euro/night, centralised location at Rue Beaubourg, big room and nice local host who speaks good english.

I share most of your points.
But you do not need to stay in Hotels in Paris,
you can stay in many private apartment rentals
for a week, rate is around Euro600-1,000/- weekly
for 2/4 persons(45sm+)You would feel living like
a local with kitchen facilities to prepare some
simple meals when you do not feel like eating out.

It’s so strange how Asians are supposed to be the polite ones, the respectful ones, the courteous ones, etc etc, but that’s not what I see whenever I visit Asian countries. On the other hand, Europeans like the French, British, Aussies, Kiwis, Canadians are supposed to be the wild & rude ones but in reality they are the ones who show courtesy and manners to everyone. Glad you enjoyed your trip to Paris by the way! You should have travelled to the southern areas of France to enjoy more of the better wines & more authentic French cuisines!

Glad you agree, Paul! You’re so lucky to get to visit Paris regularly … I can only dream. Bonne journée!

I agree with your article completely. I visit Paris regularly and your price points are spot on, and you can eat cheaper if you wish. I am a regular at the Flunch and Casino restaurants where you can eat at great value.

And I also agree with your comments regarding the approach to the locals. If you observe the average Parisian in their day to day dealings with others, they always use the courtesies of saying Bonjour Madame/Monsieur and Merci, Au revoir etc. and I find when you do the same, youre always treated with courtesy in return. If you just blurt out to a waiter or a salesperson that you want something before you greet them, it can be poorly received.
