Paris is at once chic and scruffy, traditional and modern, hectic and sedate; there is a large lively immigrant population and all of this adds up to one of the world's most exciting cities to visit.
Paris is not the cheapest city in the world to visit and many of the most popular attractions can get crowded in the summer. However, with a little planning, it is possible to find places off the beaten track to eat and to stay that do not cost the earth. Planning is also the key to missing the queues and getting maximum enjoyment. To try and rush Paris would kill the pleasure of the place, there are many churches, museums and galleries, there is the Opera and the Ballet not to mention the shopping. Try and pick from the menu of choices what your favourites are and enjoy them to the utmost.
