Yes, Alex - I've birded and romanced Paris, and frankly the romance won
hands down. We're talking about Paris in the late spring, so most of the
migrants will have arrived in the parks and the Bois de Boulogne, but really
just the same as UK, except you might find that the Pied Wagtails are white.
So especially if you've just spent some time in England, I'd say drop the
birding for a couple of days and indulge yourself in other ways while you're
in the right place at the right time. (I note that you didn't ask for any
pointers in that regard).
Have a great time.
