They say you either instantly fall in love with Paris… or you don’t. Before my first visit, a few people warned me with lines like:
“Paris isn’t all it’s cracked up to be - it’s only famous because of the Eiffel Tower.”
“Paris is so dirty.”
“Everyone’s rude and snobby.”
I’m so glad I didn’t let those comments shape my expectations. Because honestly - most of those cliches are based on one-off bad experiences - and you simply can’t judge an entire city that way.
I went in with an open mind, and I’m happy to say Paris completely won me over.
