I think a Paris DVC sounds great, whether at the park, in Paris or near Paris. I might buy enough for a once every three-year visit.
BUT, I think there are some real problems when you think about the constant changes in the exchange rate between the Euro and the dollar. If a point chart is established while the Euro is trading at $1.40 each, and it later goes to $2, then it will make the Paris DVC rooms too much of a bargain in relation to Paris hotel rooms (for American DVC'ers).
Likewise, if the Euro were to drop back to 90 cents, in would make the DVC rooms too expensive in relation to hotel rooms.
It just seems that the exchange rate could cause some real problems. Have other timeshares come up with a way to deal with this?
