    Paris going up and down

    August 11, 2019 in France ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    The first day is almost over and I have to say it's not that bad. Although I think this city is a mix of beauty and ugly, of pretty and pretty dirty 😅

    So to get the "bad" things out of the way:
    The toilet situation is the worst. I rather have a nice hole in the ground than a toilet without a seat, looking like it has never been cleaned and smelling like it too. One pizzeria toilet even had the door missing. I kid you not!!!

    Also the waiters and service personal, for example at the stations, is mainly really cold and ignorant. Not everybody of course but the majority (at least today.. we still have 4 more days to find out we were wrong 🤞🏼)

    The streets are not really clean although I think it's okay due to the fact that this city is old and has an antique flair, so the trash and dirt kinda fits.

    On the other hand Paris really has charme! The Saine, the bridges everywhere, the little cafe's, the street musicians and all those old french style buildings just give you a feeling of happiness and tranquility ☺️

    All in all the city made some really heavy impressions and I'm really excited for Wednesday and Thursday, because the next to days we'll spend at Disneyland 😍

    FYI: I heard the tip in restaurants is already included. But I will find out for sure asap!
