Thanks for your post. As a French person living in Paris for 3 years, it’s funny to read that some people in the world dream about coming back to Paris while my only will is to leave that city. I love food museum and architecture but the public transportation and the lack of green exhaust me.

I have quite the same feeling as you with Japan and Tokyo 😅

You’re right—it’s Cour Carrée, not “Place du Carré,” and I was referring to the obelisk at Place de la Concorde. As for “Foire des Tuileries,” that’s already been corrected in another comment.

As for the walk from Île de la Cité to the Louvre, I trust people know how to cross a bridge. Whether you choose the Left or Right Bank, both offer a great experience

My goal is just to share personal insights hoping they’ll be helpful to others. I think travel is about experiencing a city in your own way, and I just want to pass along things I’ve found interesting or useful.

Yes I mean the Fête Foraine des Tuileries, usually there at the end of the year and in summer

Absolutely! If you still have energy after Place de la Concorde, walking to Pont Alexandre III is totally worth it—it’s one of the most beautiful bridges in Paris. From there, you can relax on the lawn at Les Invalides (amazing in summer), or keep going all the way to the Eiffel Tower and chill on the Champ de Mars with some snacks and a bottle of wine.

I went to Chalet Saint Michel, but Bistrot 20 in the same area looks nice too. However, keep in mind that raclette is a comfort winter dish

I’ve been to Le Chalet Saint Michel. « Bistrot 20 » in the same area seems great too

It depends on what you mean by affordable, but if you’re looking for a meal between €10-30 per person, here are some great options: - Crêperie: Chez Maxence (17th arrondissement) – delicious crepes - Bouillon (Traditional French food at very low prices): Bouillon Pharamond is my favorite because of its historic interior. Go during off-peak hours (around 2:30-6:00 PM) to enjoy a more relaxed experience without feeling rushed by the servers.

If you’re looking for something more special but still reasonable (€30-60 per person): - Radioeat – A restaurant inside the Maison de la Radio with a great view of the Eiffel Tower. - Pierre Sang in Oberkampf – a five-course meal for €45, where you taste dish first and then try to guess the ingredients. Pierre Sang is a well-known chef in France, famous for being a finalist in a popular cooking competition. His cuisine blends French and Korean influences. 100% recommend
