Is Paris overwhelming? Traveling to Paris can be overwhelming, especially if it is your first time. There are so many cultural differences, a language barrier, and of course the old stereotype that Parisians are “rude.” (Okay, a few of them really are, but the majority are very nice people!)
Why is Paris so romanticized?
But the architecture is incredibly delicate, the monuments are majestic, the city itself was strongly planned during the late 19th century to elegantly expose most of the prestigious buildings, which gives the impression of order. The city is also dense, it can be annoying, but the streets tend to be a bit narrow.
Is Paris the prettiest city?
Paris has been voted the most beautiful city in the world in a new ranking. Travel website Flight Network compiled the list of 50 cities by surveying more than 1,000 travel writers and agencies around the world. The French capital came top, followed by New York in second place and London in third.
Is Paris good for introverts?

Is Paris friendly to foreigners?
