Recently, I've been vacationing in Paris, enjoying its wonderful landmarks and such. Since I'm leaving today to Rome, I've decided to rate this place.
My rating:
Paris is a very lively city. It definitely is the city of lights. At night time, the whole place comes alive!
Paris!
Paris is also a definite shopping center. Things may seem kind of pricy though... Some good and famous shopping centers here are Galleries Lafayette, La Bon Marche, and Le Printemps. La Bon Marche is more Parisian as Galleries Lafayette is more touristy. Its very packed I tell you. Other than shopping, Paris holds many unique buildings and landmarks. Some famous landmarks to visit are probably Arc de Triomphe, The Eiffel Tower, The Louvre Museum, Musée d'Orsay, Cathédrale Notre Dame, Sacré-Coeur, Champs-Elysées Street, Versailles Palace (slightly out of Paris, 20km away), Montmartre, Moulin Rouge(not recommended for young children), and many more!

The Eiffel Tower!
Any who, overall, Paris was a good experience. Paris also has very rich food, including lots of cheese and wine. The wine here is usually cheaper than the water!
Almost every real french restaurant you go to in Paris, there usually is always french onion soup. I tried the french onion soup in many different restaurants and they vary! Some were sweet as some were salty. Usually, the onion soup uses either chicken stock or beef stock. Most use beef stock as I have seen, but some use chicken stock. Either way, the soup is very good. The only places I haven't seen french onion soup is in very high class, formal, classy restaurants. Usually, they carry lots of different meats though. An example of one place that doesn't have french onion soup is Le Jules Verne. Its a restaurant located INSIDE the Eiffel tower. The view is magnificent there!
Thats the view from the Jules Verne Restaurant!

Anyways, for the last time, Paris is a very pleasant place. It is full of beauty and history within it and is very interesting to discover. The only downfall is probably sometimes, the cleanliness (its not as clean as you think, sometimes, its dirty...) and another downfall is maybe that some of the french people are pretty blunt. *Tip:Be sure to be polite. The french are pretty polite.* And another downfall is the language barrier. Not all Taxi drivers speak or understand english so it may be difficult to communicate to them. Even if you are speaking a french address, they may not understand you because of the non french accent. Otherwise, its a pretty good place.
*Tip: Watch out for pickpockets.*
And thats my rating! Thank you!
