All very accurate. My wife and I went to Paris for 5 days. The biggest thing that surprised us is that it was not very expensive as one might think, even the sit down restaurants that are everywhere were relatively inexpensive. Our last day we had a bunch of euros left so we decided to splurge and go to a fancier restaurant. We got our meals, a full bottle of wine and desert for 80 euros total and that was us trying to spend money.
Dont expect random people on the streets to be friendly but dont expect them to be rude either. Basically just dont expect to interact with the locals. Theyll pretend like you dont exist and thats fine.
Restaurant workers are very friendly, intelligent and helpful though. As an American, youll want to give them a nice tip but dont, tips arent a thing there

My tip (and biggest mistake from our trip from last year. Don't try to do the whole Louvre in a day! (Yes you veterans can start laughing at me now) We went early on the day it's open late, and my wife and I LOVE that kind of stuff, but after about the first 7 hours your feet feel like they are going to fall off, your eyes glaze over even though you're looking at one of the greatest Renaissance Masters of Sculptures of Antiquity, and all you just want is to sit down and have a croissant. I think something like 4 hours a day spread over 3 days would be FAR more enjoyable, maybe a wing a day (the Paris Museum pass rocks. Just a word of caution to any super excited first time visitors (to Europe in my case)- learn from my laughable mistake!

I just returned from Paris and your video helped a lot. I didn't see many homeless people or beggars. I didn't get into the Lourve, we walked around so much getting there and the lines were very long. Im bigger on the architecture than the art. We had a problem with the metro. There are about 20 lines. They are colour coded. There is a dark green line, a slightly lighter green line. etc. The city was clean, street sweepers took care of the dog poop. The food was great. We made reservations. I had a great time. Im going back.

Hi, I am traveling to Paris for the first time, my wife and I are going for our tenth anniversary. We have learned so much from your videos, with that being said. What district would you say is recommended to stay in Paris? We have reviewed them and most have ups and downs. Something safe, within reasonable budget, and easy access to metro. We appreciate your reply! Thank you

I know I got to see Paris a lot through TV when I used to watch Highlander the Series back in the 1990s (which also filmed episodes in Vancouver. If I had enough money to visit Paris, I'd love to see some of the filming sites.
