Great post. I spent a week in Paris with a mate of mine after college and we had a blast walking all over the place. It's a beautiful city and so great that people live in it vs many American cities where they are often places where people go to work and are dead at other times. Very walkable. And the people, if you show even a little effort to parle francaise, will warm up to you.
Great photos too - the street life, art and architecture there is great.
