Paris May be the City of Love, But I Didn't Love Paris

A honeymooning couple in Paris (one channeling Napoleon in front of the location of his tomb). 
But we didn't love Paris.

When I first started Travel the World a friend asked me to write a post about Paris; what to see, the best times to go, where to stay, etc.  I said I would, but could never seem to bring myself to write about Paris.  We visited Paris long ago, at the tail end of our honeymoon when we visited London, explored southern England, and then took the chunnel to Paris.  The sad truth is I did not love Paris.  I know I’m not the only one that feels this way, but I also know I am in a small minority.  I was recently talking to another friend about our mutual dislike of Paris.  Our conversation started me thinking about that trip long ago, and while Paris admittedly underwhelmed me, there were some things that I did love.  This post is not meant to be a complete guide to Paris, as it excludes some must-see places including the Louvre and Notre Dame, but rather a recollection of a few of the sites that did impress.
