- Parisians let their dogs shit everywhere.
- Being a tourist sucks. With 2 hour waits to get into Versailles and Notre Dame, it just isn't worth it.
- Damn, they know how to cook.
- And make wine.
- Don't expect much from the hotels, and they will meet your expectations
- No city (except New York) should allow buildings higher than 7 storeys. The lack of skyscrapers makes a city feel like somewhere that humans beings belong.
- All Metro stations smell like urine.
- The French get a day off work on May 1 to protest the advance of capitalism. The other 364 days, they celebrate it.
- Decending into Charles De Gaulle I noticed a patchwork quilt of impossibly small farm fields and one word sprang into my mind...."Agricultural subsidies". (OK two words, but you know what I mean)
- With the opulence at Versailles and the Louvre, it's no wonder they had a revolution.
