I took a trip to France a couple of years ago. Paris looks nice with all it’s older architecture (RIP Notre Dame though) but the atmosphere wasn’t great. Crows of loud protesters gathering everywhere, including the tourist areas, being loud and making it difficult to get around.

The best food i had in Paris was, no joke, from a Lebanese immigrant’s restaurant. Family-owned, relatively inexpensive, large delicious dishes. The French restaurants even not in tourist areas were overpriced and very heavy. The wine was fine. I give them credit for their cheese platters though.

The countryside had much better food in my opinion, and actually classically French instead of over-prepped or foreign.
