Paris is the capital of france. Also it is a historic place and fashion hub as people visit the place. I also have been there in the year 2012. Remember friends, I am sharing my experience which will be very useful for you. Paris is the costliest city in terms of hotel booking, riding in a cab, food in restaurents and enjoyment places. I had paid 500 euros for 3 days stay in hotel which has only 12 inch tv and only one bed. No other facilities provided. For 5 kms drive in cab costs you 60-70 euros subject to traffic. Paris is having many fraud and scams. For foreighners, be very careful wondering in same street for more than an hour, keep an eye on your laggauge and wallet as many visitors lost the same due to thieves and pick pocketers. Also be aware of major scams happened in night clubs which are mainly scams. They charge 5-10 euro for entrance with one drink but when a dancer asks you a drink, her one drink costs you 300-500 euros. Even for touching her they charge you 150-300 euros as a slap dance. Bar bouncer will force you to pay all your payments even if you dont have cash, they will take your credit and debit cards and enforce you to swap. Bar bouncers also shows you knife and gun and make you afraid to pay wrongly asked payments. Even roaming in metro is also not safe due to pick pocketers. You can check the scams on searching on net also.
