I think Paris is a great city that I really enjoy visiting every time I go there, but you’re perfectly right that it’s incredibly overrated, anything with that reputation really must be, nothing that exists in reality could possibly come even close to such a myth.
Yeah Paris is great as a cool, old, European city with lots of history. If you like just hiking around cities it’s great. I can imagine if you go into it thinking it is like some French tourist resort, you will be disappointed.
I’d always heard people talk about how dirty Paris is, but it was so clean when I visited last year. Admittedly my point of comparison is San Francisco, but still.
I also don’t get the hype around Paris. It’s not super ugly but also nothing special.
I don’t live too far from it, could easily go there for a week-end or even day trip. Still only been there twice and have no plans to go there again. In many spots it’s very crowded and dirty and the attractions aren’t better than in any other major city.
Paris
Big deal, they have a tower just like this in Vegas.

No, they also have one in Vegas that is a replica.
The funnier thing was that they had the Statue of Liberty wear a Golden Knights Jersey when Vegas won the Stanley Cup.

Now that they’re basically banning cars, it might be worth a visit again
They didn’t actually ban cars. Only reduced traffic to certain areas.
I’ve heard Finland is on the up and up with clean cities.
Apparently the popo there are quite heavy-handed when it comes to littering and such.
That sounds nice.
Pick up that can
Soooo dirty

Did you stray further than the tourist center? Like the area around gare du nord I hated the most. Spend a summer working there.
I did. Still nicer than San Francisco LOL
