    Wow, I couldn't get over all those stairs to get to the apartment! Paris does look like a beautiful city and hope to visit one day.

    Been to some parts of France, Riviera mainly, but not Paris. One day perhaps. Congrats on LOTD, Blessed and featured on Sprinkled with Stardust and Lenses that Shine.

    I visited Paris long ago - it was so beautiful! My daughter is planning a trip this summer and I told her she must see Paris!

    Congratulations on LOTD. Looks like www.livinginparis.org is the site to visit.

    My sister and her family have visited Paris many times but alas, I've only made it to Strasbourg. One day I would love to travel to Paris and visit the Louvre.

    Sweet lens. I have always wanted to go since it was the home to many of my favorite artist. I am aware of how much the city has changed over the years, but it still holds such a romantic mystic. I love the lens and have lensrolled it to all of my Big Island of Hawaii travel lens. Well done!

    Oh - almost forgot, congrats on LOTD!

    Great lens! I am a busy internet marketer, and I have to see something very pulling for me to go and take the time to read the lens of the day. Well, I did in this case, because I am a French living in America :) I am from Lyon, second largest city of the country after Paris and I've lived in Paris for 5 years before moving to New-York some years ago.

    Yes, there sure is a fascination with American for Paris. Yes, Paris is special and full of history, and so are just about ALL cities and towns in the country. Paris is a beautiful city, I used to see the Eiffel tower from my window for 5 years, and yet I have NEVER got tired of it. If you have seen it only on pictures or movies, you really have NO idea about what it really feels like to see the iron lady in "person" LOL. It’s HUGE!

    French food is just like no other, I still miss some foods that are just not found here.

    Yep, if you don't speak French and want to leave there, you might get a bit stuck. Contrary to some beliefs, most French people do NOT speak any English at all unless it is really required by their profession.

    Great job and 5 stars to you  and lensroll your lens with my Paris and French language lenses as well as the dozen lenses that I have about France.

    A good friend just came back from Paris and raved about it. I have never been but would love to go sometime. This is an incredible resource for those wanting to spend an extended time in Paris and it is beautifully laid out. Very worth of LOTD!
  • 4U2C May 25, 2010 @ 12:26 pm | delete
    Well, I am not likely to make it to Paris, but if I was going, I would follow every single piece of advice tendered here - since it comes from one who knows! Congratulations on the LotD,and thank you the tour of Paris. Excellent info, here!
  • janices7 May 25, 2010 @ 12:06 pm | delete
    Congrats on LOTD! Paris is my FAVORITE city in the world and I'd love to live there for a bit. Until then, I'll just keep visiting :)

    Paris is such a beautiful place! I enjoyed the two videos about the people's tiny rented apartments!! Good job on the lens!
  • jparkercb May 25, 2010 @ 11:45 am | delete
    Ironic, I live about 2 hours south of Paris and am dieing to move out of France and move to America. The reason? For love. Couldn't find any in France :)

    I am English, but all the advice presented on this lens, from my experience of living in France for 5 years, is pretty much spot on. Good info and lens.
  • Lisa-Marie-Mary May 25, 2010 @ 11:45 am | delete
    Great lens - Paris is one place I would definitely like to see one day! Congrats on LOTD!!

    Congratulations on making LOTD....wonderful ;) Oh, and all these tips are great too, especially about needing/recommending learning the language :)

    Very nice lens, I gave you a retweet!!

    Wouldn't we all like to visit Paris. Spending a year or two there sounds quite tempting. Good choice for LOTD & thanks for the mini-vacation
  • Mikayla May 25, 2010 @ 6:48 am | delete
    Now I know why Parisian women are so skinny. With such tiny refrigerators and pantries, you can't help but!
  • Kiosks4business May 25, 2010 @ 3:54 am | delete
    What a fantastic lens with great advice and information about moving to Paris - Brilliant!

    I visited Paris for a few days several years ago and I loved it! My favorite was exploring the Louvre Museum - it was amazing! I could have spent weeks gawking in there! LOL Great lens and congrats on the well deserved LOTD!

    Lovely lens. Paris is magical. Personally, I can't wait to get out of Europe - LOL. Angel blessed :-)

    Thanks very much for the angel blessing. Have you set your sights on anywhere in particular to make your great escape to?
  • denmas May 24, 2010 @ 4:14 pm | delete
    Great lens! Living in France really dream of some people around the world. Your lens can be used for non American too.
  • LivingInParis May 24, 2010 @ 11:36 pm | delete
    I suppose that's true. Paris is the number one travel destination in the world, which means everybody loves it. Thanks for stopping by.

    Congratulations on lens of the day. Great Lens! I've never been to Paris. I would love to go someday.
  • LivingInParis May 24, 2010 @ 11:30 pm | delete
    Thanks Stacy. Everyone says you should see Paris at least once in your lifetime, but the thing is, once you've been, you'll want to go back. Once is not enough! :-)
  • WordCustard May 24, 2010 @ 1:52 pm | delete
    Delighted to see you with LoTD! Congratulations! Your enthusiasm for Paris is infectious and you've put together a fun resource here.

    Wow! This was incredibly informative! I'll use this as a guide book when I visit Paris!
  • janices7 Jan 18, 2010 @ 10:29 am | delete
    I love, love, love Paris. It would be great fun to live there for a year or two and soak up all the sites, sounds, and je ne sais quoi of Paris and its environs. Of course I'm not sure if I could live in a tiny little apartment with a tiny little bathroom and small closets like most of the places in the heart of Paris. Great 5* lens!!
  • AddaptAbilities Jan 13, 2010 @ 7:37 pm | delete
    It looks like I might get to enjoy the skating rink when I'm there later this year. Very informative lens!
  • sandyspider Dec 23, 2009 @ 12:21 pm | delete
    Thanks for this information. I would love to go to Paris. I took 2 years of French in high school, but not sure if I remember too much of the language.
  • lakshyaa Dec 22, 2009 @ 9:01 am | delete
    Well written lens. Good job :) We had been to Paris few months back, and loved it!
  • LivingInParis Dec 27, 2009 @ 10:19 am | delete
    Thanks lakshyaa. Glad to hear you had a wonderful time in Paris.
  • wilddove6 Dec 22, 2009 @ 1:05 am | delete
    Okay...now I have to go :)
    I've never been, but this lens sure put Paris in my top ten!
    Wing high five, and great job!
  • LivingInParis Dec 27, 2009 @ 10:23 am | delete
    Thanks so much, wilddove6. Yes, you must visit Paris at least once!
