I love the (even Paris).
the french hate Parisians. the Parisians hate Parisians. the entire city runs on distain
I had to preempt it because there is always such a circlejerk about how awful Paris is to tourists and to the rest of France etc., but that hasn’t been my experience at all. Parisians went out of their way to be kind to us (Americans) on several occasions. I do speak French relatively well, but that doesn’t account for the times people were genuinely so so nice in Paris, or also having this experience in cities like NYC and Amsterdam. Anywhere you go, the average person is really nice and helpful.
