1. I love Paris. Enough to give up cheeseburgers.

2. My dear Amerigo Vespucci!
Cheeseburgers, even big juicy ones, are a dime a dozen!

I'd much rather stroll along the Champs-Elysees! (alas, no accents available here...)

:hi:

I'm afraid you're showing your age. Cheeseburgers haven't been a dime a dozen since
King Louis the 14th built the first (ahem) "White Castle" on...

OMG!!! You clever girl.

Since King Louis the 14th built the first "White Castle" in 1684 on the Champs-Elysees!!!!!

4. They have MacDonalds in Paris, right?
So I'll choose the stroll and buy my own burger... :)

7. Unfortunately yes they do.
And they suck there just as much as they do here.

8. Regrettably, I think, you can do both. On the Champs-Elysees, not far from where a plaque notes...
...the location of Thomas Jefferson's residence when he was U.S. Ambassador to France - where he lived with Sally Hemmings - there is a Burger King.

I kid you not.

I haven't eaten a hamburger since I was a boy, and frankly, I found the whole thing a little repulsive, but it is true nonetheless.

12. wow
I love cheeseburgers and traveling, but I hate big cities and walking.

BIG DILEMMA!

Think I would have to go see Paris, as I have had a lot of burgers (I'd still be able to have more when I was done checking out the Champs-Élysées right?)

20. Paris blows chunks. I'll take the cheeseburger any day.
I hated Paris with the fiery heat of a supernova and will never go back.

Rouen and Nice, however, I enjoyed very much. Especially Rouen. Cool city.

"HAMBURGER!"

25. Well since I'm a vegan....
...but I would rather stroll along the Kalalau Trail in Kauai or the Knife Edge on Katahdin. Don't care too much for cities.
