I spent a couple of days last week in Paris, in the company of (among others) my new Canon EOS 10D digital camera. I'll post more about the camera later, but you can see some of the pictures here in the meantime.
Overall I had a really great time. My experiences with France in the past, have been limited to small towns and beach holidays as a kid. The architecture was constantly gorgeous and overwhelmingly photogenic, so much so that I had to stop pulling my camera out at every opportunity.
What really made the break however, was the friendliness of the Parisians we met while there. My school-boy French is embarrassingly bad, but almost everyone we met almost fell over themselves helping and welcoming us.
In particular La Dalea Restaurant & Bar and the Hotel Innova, both in Montparnasse, come highly recommended. Try the champagne cocktails or Entree's at the former and the way above short-break-2-star service and welcome and the latter.
I've visited 4% of the world according to World66, but where should I go next?
