I know several people who have been to Paris and found it dirty, full of rude people, and frankly, overrated. I'm not sure why Paris (and France in general) have obtained the above reputation; I'm sure that the numerous theories here all have something to do with. I love to travel, and Paris is pretty far down on the list of places I want to see; I suppose it all boils down to personal opinion.
