I live 30 min by train from Manhattan and my Wife and i love visiting Paris. Obviously you don’t know Paris—everything is as or most costly than New York except for more cheaper hotels. As long as your standard for room Quálita s is minimal you can find rooms for 150 or a bit under. Food is higher in París for tourists than NY. And there’s nothing better than American convienence with stores open long house for that missing item. I have yet to travel all of the USA after living and traveling around Europe for 6 years. Still the best for sights to see and worth planning for.
