American goes viral for dragging Paris, France

[Sunny 12,753]

He didn't lie though lmao, but Paris has it's beautiful parts. This topic of "Paris Syndrome" happens on TikTok every 6 months, it's nothing new.

[Eido 3,681]

...does he realize that that the people living in Paris will produce waste - hence the trash bags? 

[NCgaga 4,345]

In a way, This Is humbling experience for Paris. People love to drag America for every little thing, but romaticize the **** out of Paris and other European cities when they in fact have some very dirty and grimes sections of all the major cities. 
 

With that being said, the culture, food, and architecture of France is and has always been very influential and beautiful. The architecture of Paris is out of this world, and American food would taste like British food if it weren’t for the influence of French cuisine.  
 

He purposely painted Paris as a whole as stinky and ghetto, and that certainly isn’t true. You can highlight the best touristy spots of any city and also highlight the worst parts of any city. He just chose to concentrate on the worst spots and use them to represent the city as a whole.

Meh, I've been to Paris several times and it's a beautiful city. The things he's showing in the video, you can find this 'side of the city' in about every other big city. That's just what they look like as well.

Same! Paris is great. One of my favourite memories of Paris is when my bf and me went there together for the first time and because of budget reasons we stayed in a cheap motel outside of the boulevard périphériquen in the 13. Arrondissement. We went into a small restaurant there very unsure as obviously every other customer was not a tourist. We had our first tajine there and the owner explained to us how mint tea is consumed in the Maghreb. This is Paris and if you want to see the Sacre Cœur and the Eiffel Tower only and without people, pigeons and trash, then you should probably stay at home and watch a movie about Paris.

Ehhhh okay, what a superficial and entitled perspective.

My friends and family who visited Paris hated it lol... they told me the people were rude, racist, unhelpful, and my female friend got harassed by men cat calling her constantly when she used the trains... oh and my friend got pickpocketed there.

[PunkTheFunk 125,703]

I've never been to Paris but I have family who have lived there and said it's dirty 

[Chromatography 10,186]

i thought it was funny but of course people are offended about this. i would watch his channel of travel

Baby boy was upset Parisians aren’t all whores swarming him up in the club?

[Ultimecia 6,842]

The food being "mid" is the most ridiculous statement of all.

My cousin got chased 5 blocks down by a store owner and had to hide behind some kind of stand because she didn’t pay to use the bathroom

Then there’s America where everything’s a) gun violence b) racism — wait……. 

Up until very recently America wasn't even seen that way by many Europeans. They also believed the movies and thought the US was a perfect place. Listening to people say they want to visit the US because of x reason, only for me to mention some truly shocking things to them has always been interesting.

 

I've only seen the Paris airport and that experience itself has made me wanna stay out of France. It's not worth flying into personally, and it'd be hard to have fun afterwards. 

[LaLuna 12,732]

Meh, I still wanna go someday. I mean, is it overrated and overhyped? Probably. But it's still one of the most culturally and historically rich cities on the planet, with some of the most iconic landmarks. That's gotta count for something.

I do 100% believe Parisians are a$$holes though 

[27monster27 15,850]

"I felt like I was in the Middle East."

I know what he was saying, but let's not be offensive like this.

So your opinion of an entire country is based on an... airport?
