To sign "Paris," use both hands in a "V" handshape (index and middle fingers extended and spread) with your palms facing towards you and your fingers pointing downwards. Start with your hands apart in front of your chest, then move them upwards and inwards until your fingertips meet at the top. This upward, converging movement traces the iconic shape of the Eiffel Tower.
Sign "Paris" by tracing the Eiffel Tower shape, then point to yourself for "I," pull your hands toward your body for "want," and use the "V" handshapes circling forward for "visit."
Start the sentence with the sign for "Paris," then transition into "beautiful" by opening your hand across your face and smoothly closing it into a bunch.
After signing "my" and "friend," sign "live" by bringing two 'A' hands up your chest, and finish the sentence by tracing the Eiffel Tower shape for "Paris."

No, they are different. The sign for "France" uses an 'F' handshape that twists in the air, while "Paris" specifically uses two inverted 'V' hands to trace the shape of the Eiffel Tower.
Yes, your palms should generally face towards you or slightly downwards. This allows your inverted "V" fingers to point towards the ground comfortably as you trace the tower's upward slope.
No, the sign should be kept relatively compact in your normal signing space, right in front of your upper chest. A massive, exaggerated movement isn't necessary to convey the meaning clearly.
