Hello from Paris, after flying Qatar Airways here from Doha! I’m just finishing up a crazy trip that has spanned most of February, and am spending this weekend in Paris.As I reflect on my travels, I realize that it has been about a decade since I’ve last spent more than a layover in Paris. It’s…

No, you are not the only one who does not like Paris. Well at least for me- it's just overrated city, there are nicer cities out there. Mind you, Paris is a nice place for just strolling around, maybe with Ford this time?

dear Lucky and Alexis....
Paris it's just like every big city in the world, always busy and crowded.
Even my husband who was born in France, he never like Paris.
Fortunately we live in small village...

Have a nice stay in Paris anyway...Lucky.

I don't love Paris either. in fact I don't like it. The one city in Europe I do love with a passion in is London which a lot of people I've talked about disagree with.

@Bernardo - I am with you 100%. Love London. Not a fan of Paris.

Agree with others. Love London, could go back anytime. as far as Paris- been there, done that, checked it off the travel box and wont be going back.

When I think of Paris, the first thing that comes to mind are transit strikes and pickpockets. My biggest pet peeve is when people perceive Paris and London to be the only cities in Europe (although I love London).

Please tell me the other cities you hate because I probably will love them and want to visit ASAP!

A man who does not love Paris is without a soul - a place where one is able to sample the perfect croissant, baguette, champagne, chocolat, fromage - needs to spend more time in this perfect city. It is the first class of Europe with perfect service and gorgeous amenities - it requires time and love to appreciate the charms of a complicated love!

Never been to Paris, but base on what many of my friends tell me... I would visit London over Paris.

It says so much about you as a person that you don't like Paris yet love Dubai.

Is Ford the same or opposite?

I hate Paris. I hate people that love Paris.

Never been to Paris. Just based on reading the comments here.

Paris is most overrated, ugly, dirty soulless city you can think of.

The women are hot though. If you can get a few of them to sleep with you AT THE SAME TIME, it would be possible only in Paris.

I have to visit Paris once a month for work. Hate the place with a passion. It is the smelly arm pit of Europe.

Absolutely love the rest of France though - especially Lyon & the South of France.

Hey Lucky!
Welcome to Paris! I just moved here a few weeks ago to do a French course for a semester and love the city so much!
Let me know if you'd like to go out for a coffee or see some cool places around today.
