<p>Depends where you are now. If you're not in Paris now, you'd have to 去 to get there, but if you are in Paris now, you can talk about when you 来'd or how often you 来. A lot like 'go' and 'come'.</p>

<p>This question reminds me of this catch phrase: 点头yes, 摇头no; '<strong>来</strong>' 是 '<strong>come</strong>'， '<strong>去</strong>' 是 '<strong>go</strong>'; ... ...</p>

<p>So, I '<strong>go</strong>' to Paris will be “我'<strong>去</strong>'巴黎”. </p>

<p>So I know that 来 is used for actions that is moving towards the speaker and 去 is away from the speaker but I don’t know if I am moving towards a place I would use 来 or 去
For example: I go to Paris will be “我去巴黎” or ”我来巴黎”？</p>

<grammar><usage>
来 vs 去 usage for the speakers movement towards a place
# 来 vs 去 usage for the speakers movement towards a place

This question reminds me of this catch phrase: 点头yes, 摇头no; '**来**' 是 '**come**'， '**去**' 是 '**go**'; ... ...

So, I '**go**' to Paris will be “我'**去**'巴黎”.
