Pretty straightforward question! I know a lot of people went to Paris for the Olympics this year, and I wondered what you thought about it

I went between the Olympics and Paralympics. I liked it a lot. Wandering streets in the Latin Quarter. Poking around random shops and such.

Went to see Notre Dame, the Arc and the Effiel Tower as the main attractions.

I went to the Louvre but its was crazy busy, even on a weekday. Kind of hard to enjoy it and there were very few places to sit, even less where you could sit and enjoy the artwork. Still went to have a look at Lisa and Venus, pretty neat.

The food (as long as you stay away from tourist traps) was great! Do try a baguette by itself if you can. I had no idea bread could be so deep and complex and just damn tasty by itself.

I will add, do try the baguette, in any "Boulangerie" you want. Something that does not look that hard, yet I miss or is not the same when anywhere else
