What is so special about Paris?

Hello there!

What is so special about Paris? I have visited this interesting city 10 years ago with my parents and can not remember a thing besides the Eiffel Tour and the tiny Mona Lisa painting. Are there other museums in Paris, besides the Louvre, which are good to visit? This vacation is planned for the 20th to the 31st of august and therefore I hope the weather and especially the temperature in Paris will be pleasant. I heard that a Paris sightseeing tour is kind of expensive and that there can be a huge difference in quality and cost performance ratio.

I am also interested in the typical “French cousine” but would rather prefer a small restaurant or café which is not overcrowded with other tourists. Where do I have to go to find a French restaurant that is more an insider than an easy-finder? So many questions I need to solve before the trip really starts. I hope you have a lot of suggestions and opinions to help me. Thanks a lot in advance.

Once I was there and I just got chance to visit Eiffel Tower. It was such a great experience.

Next time, I would like to visit Luxembourge Gardens.

I went to Paris the last month, though the journey and the sightseeing were fabulous as you would expect in this fabulous city yet the soaring temperatures were a cause of concern to me. I had to return earlier than expected as there was an urgent need for me in the office, and I want to return to Paris either later this year or the coming year and this time I want to ensure the weather to be a pleasant one when I am there. Please suggest me friends when should I consider making the trip keeping the weather factor in mind.
