On Paris, been a few times, Charles De Gaulle airport is shite, horrible. But we enjoyed walking around places like Sacre Coure (sorry if my spelling is pish), Louvre and the wee neighbourhoods around Paris are awesome. It was hard finding good places to eat where we stayed but ultimately that was our fault for not researching it enough. Took our wee guy to Eurodisney in January and for the value for money (4 nights in hotel, park tickets, flights and all our food =£800) was excellent and we really enjoyed the parks, especially in the snow. There are some shitty parts of Paris but there are far more in London etc. The french people are decent so long as you give a bit of french a go (ordering food/asking for the bill and general basic stuff), they appreciate you trying. Id say London is my most disappointing city, Edinburgh close second.
