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.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future

August 15, 1534, Montmartre, Paris, France The Jesuit movement began
I was checking on the Padre in
Jun 30, 2018

And found out that he really was a padre who was a Jesuit and who knew Both Louis XVI
and his wife Marie Antonette. But here I'm just checking on when the Jesuits started and
this checks out too. So, I guess he and the Comte de Saint Germain knew each other
during the reign of King Louis XVI and they continued their friendship through 2018 now
and for thousands of years into the future here on earth. They both work to prevent
human extinction on this and other Earth timelines.

Paris
Though Paris is wonderful it is very expensive like London and New York. Renting any hotel room there is very eye opening. And since the price of a Euro is very high when buying them with dollars right now (today you will pay $1.47 for every Euro which is the European dollar) you will need someone to find a (reasonable hotel for you to stay in). We found the Hotel De Suede on Rue Vaneau adequate to our needs while in Paris which was within easy walking distance to the Seine River, the Louvre, Rue de Saint Germain etc. Near the Louvre are CityRama and other bus tour places that will take you on tours of the city, to the Arc Du Triomph and to the Eifel Tower and on River Cruises down the Seine River. Don't try to rent a car there unless you are staying in the suburbs because parking is beyond impossible on the little streets you likely will stay on hundreds and sometimes thousands of years old if you are deep in Paris. There is the Metro(subway) or buses or what we relied upon, Cabs and buses completely while in Paris. Also, through City Rama you can book the Moulin Rouge which is an experience unlike any other even in Las Vegas. But you must be prepared for nudity of you go there.(from the hips up). A cab driver told me that one has to be a perfect singer or dancer and have a perfect body at exactly the right height much like being a Ballet dancer in order to participate in the Moulin Rouge. We enjoyed this show a lot and were impressed by it!
I found that the humidity in Paris even though it was October to be hard for me to deal with. Nowhere was this worse than in the higher floors in the Louvre which made me feel like I was suffocating and going to faint both from the lack of oxygen and the heat generated by so many people walking around all the works of art from all over the world. Finally, because I thought I was going to pass out I found a way out(which was actually quite difficult) up through the pyramid and left my family to finish the Louvre alone. I couldn't help thinking as I walked by the Greek, Roman and French sculptures of how many people suffered to bring about all these amazing works of art and of how many failures of art never made it there in the last several thousand years and of all the suffering to protect all these works of art through world war II and since. Just this thought made me feel faint from my historical knowledge of it all.
So, for me it was not a pleasant experience at all. It just brought up many past lifetimes of emotion and was not a pleasant experience because I began reliving my past lives and felt overwhelmed and wanted nothing more than to return to my hotel room which I did as soon as possible.
So, I think my favorite experiences there were Versailles, and riding up the Eiffel
Tower, riding down the Seine River in a riverboat with about 10 around 15 year old Russian girls being very boisterous in Russian on the Aft of the ship near us as the moon rose over the Seine with a boatload of about 150 people on the ship. Paris was alive and no matter how dead one might have felt from the recession Paris woke them up and made them alive again. Rebirth!
