What we like and dislike about Paris

For us today was a slow day and we only visited Musée d'Orsay. We were unable to take any photos inside and for me it would have to be one of the least interesting places we have visited so far. (Katie enjoyed the Van Gogh and Monet pieces)


So, on that note we thought we would create a list of the likes and dislikes in Paris.

Likes
  1. Crepes
  2. Metro System (underground)
  3. Eiffel Tower
  4. Arc de Triomphe
  5. Champs de Elesyes (for Katie shopping, me the cars)
  6. The white wines (for Katie)
  7. Croissants
  8. St Chappel (best stained glass windows we have seen)
  9. French dogs
  10. That Paris has cleaned out all the illegal street sellers (jingle boys)
Dislikes
  1. Some Parisians
  2. The total lack of public toilets 
  3. The smell of urine in public places 
  4. Poor queueing systems (always long and never moving)
  5. The 70 stairs to our B&B
  6. Grumpy shopkeepers in bakeries
  7. Uncooked hamburgers (medium means medium not raw inside)
  8. The Paris Story - what was promised to be a 4D spectacular was a lousy doco
  9. Bad attitude of some Parisians
  10. Tacky souvenir stores, run by non Parisians
Whilst queueing I was planning our next attraction and how to get there

They may look nice but the ladies in the shops are normally bitter and sour
