Took me a few years, but finally made it to Paris. I gotta say, now I know why the French have a reputation for being snooty. Their capital is an amazing city. Great public transportation (and restrooms!) is a perfect cap to a city full of amazing architecture, public spaces, and history. The only knock… way too much smoking. It killed a bit of the outdoor brasserie mood for me, but otherwise. Bravo or however you say Bravo in French.
