How often /How many times

[ripley]

Hi,
is there a difference between how often and how many times?
For example;
How many times did you go to paris?
How often did you go to Paris?

Thanks
Rip

For me, how many times? requires a specific answer, like eight.

How often? can be answered more vaguely, like about three times a year.
