I&#8217;ll pretty much confirm what people usually feel there :<br \/>\n&#8211; people are not too friendly (and most of them don&#8217;t speak English);<br \/>\n&#8211; city is expensive (but not more than Helsinki, for example, and even in the center you can find good deals);<br \/>\n&#8211; metro is complicated, not comfortable, and packed up (I guess it depends when you use it, but I have to admit that at least you never wait too long for it to come);<br \/>\n&#8211; beautiful city to visit ! but I hope I won&#8217;t ever have to live there &#8230;<br \/>\n&#8211; food, wine and service are very good, when you find the right places (our first try wasn&#8217;t too good though), and there is a very wide selection of restaurant types (I mean, from typical Chinese or Italian to Caribbean or Lebanese, etc.)<\/p>\n<p>Alright, the pictures then :<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/khrys.is-a-geek.org\/images\/blog\/Trip_July_07\/Paris\/big\/DSC04489.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\"
