Paris is a brilliant place to visit. Like all major European cities there is loads to see and do. The Eiffel tower is well worth a trip, the view from the top is top drawer. The food is Paris is also fantastic, though not cheap. If there is one thing the French got right it's how to cook a good steak! The Louvre was pretty cool and I didn't even go in! Visited most of the other stuff as well and the shopping is good. Weather is quite nice too if you don't go in winter. It's well worth a cheeky weekend on the Eurostar.
