What was your favorite thing about Paris?

@zen, we spent our 1st wedding anniversary in Paris. We were there on an USAF MWR (recreational department... they had all kinds of activities and tours). It was like 3 or 4 days, so we just saw the highlights of Paris, plus Versailles. But there is one thing that stands out and it's not anything anyone would guess or expect. We wanted to get some extra cash from an ATM. There was only one bank that was compatible with ours. So after a quick look in Le Louvre, we left and got lunch at a sidewalk cafe. You sometimes hear stories about how French people don't really like Americans... aka the Ugly American. Anyway, after we ate, I went to ask out waiter, "Ou est le Banque d'Agricole?" My French is very rusty from high school and college, though I had learned that the French want you to try and speak the language. I don't think they care so much about getting it right, just that you try. Anyway, I hadn't even finished asking the question when our waiter said "What do you want?" in English. He didn't ask with any attitude; at least I don't remember any attitude. I responded in English and he gave me directions. So, my one interaction with a French person that didn't involve ordering food, was positive and probably my favorite thing. That and authentic escargot. YUM! But I really loved the whole trip... Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, cruise on the Seine, La Basilique du Sacre Coeur, Painter's Square. the food, everything. Other than the waiter being super nice and accommodating, the other surprise was how small of a painting the Mona Lisa actually is. Unfortunately, we didn't have a camera.
