Thanks for the entertainment!

tldr; move somewhere else within France and live a happy and peaceful life.

Born and bred French checking in. I grew up in Southern France. Trust me when I say that Paris is an absolute shithole. It’s an overpriced, overhyped, crowded, filthy, loud, exausting dump. Paris sucks the life out of people, chew them out and spit them. I don’t understand why this city is a magnet and attracts so many folks from North America. It really boggles my mind. You guys should stop watching movies like Emily in Paris and Amelie Poulain. These movies depict a life in Paris that is long gone for 99% the population and simply doesn’t exist anymore.

France is a big country. Honestly you should gtfo of Paris and move to another region: Provence, Basque Country, Britanny, Normandy, heck even Cantal is a zillion times better than Ile de France.

To tell you the truth, I also lived/worked in Paris for 3 years as it’s a sort of rite of passage for many French young graduates. I just couldn’t up with this place after only 2 years and was looking for a way out. We left when our daughter was born for Nice right before COVID hit in 2019. Best decision ever. You’d have to pay me a fortune to go back to Paris and work/live there again. I still have family there and I dread the moment we have to get on the TGV to visit them (about once a year).
