Bon Jour,
Just got back from Paris and recovering from jet lag and thought I would post my vacation tourist observations.
1.) Paris real estate is expensive. (Duh, I know.) At least in the Latin Quarter, did not speak with any Realtor but any stroll will usually accompany an old fashioned window of paper real estate listings. Didn't see a Studio for less than 225K Euros and small two bedrooms went for 685k Euro plus. Sorry, no Versailles available in this price range.
2.) Paris rentals are reasonable. Again, from store front listings, many apartments available from 650 Euros to 1000 Euros in a decent area.
3.) Call me crazy, many dark windows in these apartment buildings, sure, it's Paris, they could be 2nd homes.
4.) Other notables, the food is wonderful and fresh, the people like to dress fashionably, everyone uses the metro, taxis are available but not anything like New York, it's easy to get lost as the streets are a collection of star shapes, and there are no 24 hour shops.
5.) For whatever reason, no one was rude to me and I found the French rather friendly actually. Just start with a formal greeting and everything is ok. Noticible difference if the formal greeting is forgot or omitted.
