I could only vote for Paris. I tend to spend almost all my vacations there

Ouagadougou is the French spelling of the capitol of Burkina Faso (I think). It is probably the funniest city name

I didn't make up any name in the list. One is named twice. I have to admit to look in a roadmap for some names in the most evil country.

Depends on what type of vacation you're looking for. I've been to both and can reccomend both highly. If you want romance then paris, but then again rome is pretty romantic as well...it's a toss up.

We had a discussion yesterday and Paris won. Rome is next on the list, although probably we'll go via Rome to Tuscany - Sienna, Florence etc. next year, if we manage.

Sten, looks like we might meet in Paris... lets keep in touch. Are you dragging your kids along?

Colon, I'm flying to Paris, but we're thinking a short hop by TGV and rent-a-car to the low countries. Stay tuned.

If you need tourist advice, don't hesitate to ask

You MUST be kidding.

Paris is nice for a day trip (or a weekend rather, and a week if you intend to see the Louvre), you can spend at least a week in Rome and you still won't have seen anything.
I could also point you to the place with the best Italian ice cream (near the Piazza Colonna, I believe), and a place where you can get nice "granita di caffe" (coffee ice, near the Pantheon).

(Of course, I guess I'm a little late right now)

Mercator, there is plenty to see in Paris. I think it can rival rome ( which has a lot, true, but still )

Well, I guess I know Rome better than Paris...
I've been to Rome on a school trip for Latin class with an extremely knowledgeable teacher.
In Paris I've only really seen the usual tourist attractions, I guess.
