Nobody think about building 12 floors building in the Marais or Quartier Latin but it would pose no real aesthetic problem inside most of city limits.

IF the debate is only about adding a few floors to the 12th, 13th, 19th, and 20th, then I agree. These are not particularly architecturally significant areas, and yes, there are already many highrises (though I will point out that the highrise sections are generally the ugliest and least desirable parts of Paris).
But the others, generally no, except maybe right at the city limits. Obviously the core is worthy of preservation, and should not undergo major change.
From an outsiders perspective, I don't see the problem. You already have possibly the most beautiful city. You have fantastic transit to the suburbs. It seems that there is no major issue.
