Actually Not So Fantastic: Paris
Merci, Paris! Everyone will tell you that you simply must go to the City of Love, and this is especially true if you are a huge fan of cheesy romantic comedies. It is one of those places that everyone says you just have to see. The cobblestone streets, the stylish vendors, the Eiffel tower, and all of those baguettes have been romanticized to an extreme degree.
However, despite its reputation, the City of Lights isn’t nearly as amazing as one might think. It is rife with filth, criminal activity, and extremely impolite people, all of which combine to completely dash any romantic hopes or aspirations you may have. C’est la vie, as they say in this region, which translates to “such is life.”
