Why Go To Paris France?
Forget the Eiffel Tower
Why Visit Paris
Forget the Eiffel Tower, forget the Champs Elysees, forget The Louvre, forget the Moulin Rouge, forget the Cathedral of Notre Dame or the hunchback for that matter, and forget Disney Land Paris.
As a tourist destination Paris has it all history, arts and culture, Luxurious hotels, a great night life and there are even lots of places where children can have the time of their lives too.
But do you really want to be bored out of your skull, going around all of these famous landmarks and tourist hotspots? A vacation is supposed to be fun.
Leave all of that for the man in your life let him pretend that everything about the place is romantic as he tries to sweet talk you into bed, with French champagne, as you look out of your hotel room window watching the Paris nightlife (passez-moi un seau malade) or if you prefer in English, Pass me a sick bucket.
Yes Paris is a Romantic city for young couples and yes the history arts and culture are fantastic if you are in to that kind of thing, if not you could be in for the most boring vacation in history.
The best reason to visit Paris is not to see the sights, or to take a romantic walk by the Seine or even to drink a coffee at a sidewalk café. The best reason to visit Paris is for the shopping.
Great View from the Eiffel Tower (but just look at all of those shops you could be in instead of up there)
