I visited Paris for the second time this summer for a few days, as part of a 3 week jaunt in Europe. The first time I was there, I stayed in the environs of the Notre-Dame (Hotel Notre-Dame). This time, I stayed in Montmartre (not far from Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est), to get a different flavour of the city.
You make it looking good! I like how you like the same as me and pretty much everybody, those "human-scaled" street walls. I don't even know whether human-scaled actually means anything in that context, that term got on my nerves, but it's sure been very hard to rise above that kind of fabric.

The low-rise streetwalls are always the first thing I notice when I visit Paris (and many European cities). It's the ideal kind of density, IMO. I find 3 floors and under to be too small for a large city, 4-10 is ideal.
