Contrary to the popular belief that Parisians are smug, my experience with them is just the opposite. I thought they were friendly, helpful, and courteous. Upon our arrival, my wife and I got lost looking for our accommodation. A French lady who couldn't even speak English helped us out.
But that's not all. The locals, such as the restaurant owners and shop keepers, were all friendly and accommodating. I have to say I can't say the same about the New Yorkers.
Nevertheless, Paris is a great city for sight-seeing and aimless wandering. I couldn't help but notice right away the magnificence of its monuments and structures.
Below are the images of Eiffel Tower before sunset, Arc de Triomphe, and Louvre Pyramid.
Another popular landmark in Paris is the Sacre-Coeur Basilica.

Notre Dame is considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture.
