Paris

My wife and two biological daughters wanted to go to Paris. I was complaining because I had never been to Paris before and I had no idea what it would be like for me. So, I went sort of kicking and screaming but still wanting to be with my family.

However, I found Paris and Nice and Monaco and the Moulin Rouge and Versailles and the Eiffel tower were amazing and I have wanted to go back ever since. This was in 2011 in the fall and it was in it's own way going to a historical Disneyland, especially Versailles which was built as a Disneyland for Adults only at the time by Louis XIV and Louis XV and Louis XVI who was guillotined along with his wife Marie Antoinette in the French revolution.

So, going to Paris and the Eiffel Tower and Versailles and the Louvre are historical experiences. However, I could not breathe in the Louvre so I had to leave because of the very stale air there that was almost impossible for me to breathe at the time.

But, except for not being able to Breathe in the Louvre because of stale air I had a wonderful amazing time and would like to return to Paris and Nice and Versailles and the Eiffel tower in the future. The stale air is on purpose in the Louvre to preserve the ancient ancient paintings by the way. So, it isn't done for the comfort of humans but done to preserve these ancient paintings and sculptures so people in the future can see them. Also, most people don't realize just how small the Mona Lisa is. I think it isn't over 15 inches square as a painting which most people don't realize until they go there and see it in person.
