This is the only way they will allow you to go past immigration control... even for 1 day. Strictly speaking, once you pass through immigration and leave the airport you are no longer "in transit". For what it's worth, I think it will be way too much hassle to have to secure a visa (which isn't free, btw) for a day's visit. If you really want to see Paris, get a visa and stay a few days. There's lots to see for sure! You will need to secure a tourist visa prior to your arrival. This is the only way they will allow you to go past immigration control… even for 1 day.

Go, go, go. Don't hesitate. Paris is great any time of year.

The owner will notice, and you'll get better service than a tourist that just wanders in saying nothing. Here's a website that gives you some basic French words and phrases, and how to pronouce them: http://www.french-at-a-touch.com/Words-Phrases/basic_phrases_links.htm But really, don't worry about not knowing French, just be polite, smile and all will be well. Just enjoy your holiday! You just need to know the basics like

The detail in architecture their astounds me. Go to Notre Dame. Le Louvre is the most famous museum in the world. Sacre Couer is really cool, just go with your parents, cuz some of the people around their are a little shady. Riding the metro is must even if it's not the most glamorous. Eating at Cafe's is a vital part of the Paris experience. Champs Elysee (sorry its misspelled) is fantastics When you go into some of the famous old buildings look at the ceilings.

I think the best times to visit Paris is either Spring or Autumn, and avoid the pressing heat and crowds of tourists of Summer. Instead of cold, you'll probably have more chance of rain, but then there's so much to see and do indoors, that rain doesn't need to spoil your trip. If it starts to rain, you just nip into the next metro and spend an hour or two in one of the fabulous museums until it clears up. Just dress warmly, and bring an umbrella - but same goes for Cologne anyway! Paris is lovely in November.
