Paris also makes many Parisians sick, not to mention the other French. Nothing "romantic" about Paris. Prospective visitors need to understand that Paris is no setting for a novel but rather a disaster area. Take it from a Frenchman.

The first time I was in Paris I was at a train station talking to a Parisian who had just been mugged by a group of North African migrants. His face was bleeding and his eye glasses were broken. I asked him if he needed help, he said no. He then noticed I was a tourist and told me he hated his country and that the government didn’t care about native French. That was back in 2012, and I can only imagine things have gotten a lot worse since then…. It’s a shame committed national/cultural suicide. Pathetic
Sounds like all corrupt western governments...they are authoritarian despots when it comes to their own citizens but illegals and asylum seekers do no wrong. Shut up Racist, that's the corrupt politicians answer to everything!

Importing a culture from another civilisation was never a smart decision. Same with the UK. People may call names at Poland and Hungary but at least they will have the last laugh and have their culture and heritage in tact, which is more than I can say for most of the West🫤.
Actually, importation of culture from other regions have existed since ancient human civilizations started & intercontinental trade or marauding happened. Without Anglo-Saxons with North Germanic influences, they wouldn't create Britain, along with France's Normandy influence in English royalty, i.e. House of Normandy setup William the Conqueror lineage of England's Kings & Queens in the Middle Ages. Also, Vikings has been raiding Britain a lot that time too. So, Viking culture did eventually influence the Brits then. Coming back to France...if you insist on "no importation of (foreign) culture", how do you tell your ancient European ancestors what they did was B.S.? How do you untangle centuries-old blood in you already mixed with other cultures in your DNA? I'm trying to say, none of us can really stop importation of foreign cultures into our homelands. Our ancestors had done it, & so other people will continue it in the future. But I believe, there needs to be a limit to how much culture you want to import from other cultures - without forgetting/eroding your own identity & roots of your Motherland. I think the only way to solve this over-immigration issue is limit the number of refugees & immigrants coming into the country. And seriously educate them to learn the foreign host country's language & way of life. These immigrants need to know they cannot act & think like Kings in their country they've left behind, and have to behave like good guests instead, i.e. cut down on their entitlements.

Colonise the Third World. The Third World has nothing on the French Revolution. Read up about how some of the French heroes were killers of children at the Vendee during that time.
I argue it wouldn’t be that bad to take on foreigners as long as they were the best and brightest from those countries, the exceptional ones, who could contribute greatly to your own country. A merit-based system.
The term "third world“ was coined during the cold war for countries belonging to neither one of the military blocks . It rather stands for "third party" than "third class“.
I used to live in France & Germany in the early 90's. Still have quite a few friends there and it is really sad what they are becoming. They have rolled over and taken it hard for virtue signaling and it is at the cost of their own culture and their own country. I don't know if it can be redeemed at this point or if it's inevitable that there's going to be another European War.
Its probably time to simply make France into an Islamic state and communicate that a huge percentage of the population is African. France is living off of its previous reputation when it was French.
Us teenagers will have a hard time taking back our lands, but our parent's and grandparent's generation put it on us by being "fair". Fair to everyone but their own.
That's cause your elders wer eup to no good and were trying to be strategic with other places and it isnt working out as well as they thought...trust they werent trying to be fair to other people. their weird plans just backfired. Keep in mind many youngins moved out of the 'lands' and congregated int he cities in huge masses and let the rest of the country go to waste.
I am Gen X and it wasn't largely like this leading up to the millennium, and then something happened after the year 2000 (9/11?) when voters were only ever allowed to vote for Uniparties that had open door immigration policies across whe whole of the western world. In the UK, the people voted to leave the EU and gave the Tories a massive majority to do something about it, but the elected politicians just gave us more of the same. Try not to judge the previous generations too harshly. We tried but our poltical representatives refuses to politically represent the people who voted for them.

It breaks my heart. Paris has fallen. My last visit was in 2015, whereupon I experienced THREE separate, unrelated terror attacks in less than 24-hours. The day prior, I kept walking when call for prayer occurred and the streets were blocked with men virtue signaling with their blankets. Everyone knew to STOP in their tracks. I kept walking... was told later than I was lucky that I didn't receive a little knife-wound for my disrespect. I shall NEVER EVER return to that shit-hole.
LoL! I visit every year! Still a beautiful city. 2015 was a bad year, but that was an exception. Keep crying and whining! Tomorrow is just another day, and Paris will likely still carrying being Paris long after we’ve gone.

Unlike Christianity, Islam is not about inner belief. The end goal of Islam is that all persons everywhere obey Islamic law, and it is the duty of every Muslim to bring about that state of affairs. Hence the knives. They are not the least bit interested in persuading you their religion is true, that's not what it's about.
I first visited Paris in 1967 and have returned no less than a dozen times since. I've seen firsthand how the city has been occupied by North African immigrants. Some districts and neighborhoods sound like you're in North Africa, not Paris. The city has fallen to Islam.
I live in Paris for 25 years. This town is lead by the left for 23 years. The country is lead by the left wing for 50 years even when the "right" wing is elected. We are part of the UE, which wants to extinct indigenes under unlimited immigration. So, yes, France has disappeared and has become a third word country with free criminals in the streets but just like UK, Scotland, Belgium, Germany, etc. To US readers, vote massively for Republicans, your country is not dead yet.
The country is led by capitalists not "the left". The whole French left is fake and puppets of the global capital. The only patriotic capitalists support RN and they are a minority.
What Paris is now is the fruits of the enlightenment combined with decades of Gramscian rot, together with influence from the likes of people like Rousseau, Foucault, Derrida, Sartre and others like them. And while nobody would ever openly call themselves card-carrying members of these epistemic cartels, depend on it: the girl with blue or pink hair and the guy with a septum ring in his nose are disciples of Sartre whether they admit it or not. Above us, only sky..
I do agree, raised and been living in Paris for 50 years... No changes the so called elites said. OK just exit your ivory tower and let s have a walk in the city..
Unfortunately, this is the truth. As a Parisian, I can confirm it. The question everyone should ask themselves is: how do you destroy a country, why, and who is responsible? If you think this is happening only in France, you're living a lie. This is happening in every European country and the US. Start with the "how."

That makes sense. Most people think only Christianity believes in Jesus, but Islam actually does too. They consider him a prophet rather than the son of God, but they DO still believe in him and most, if not all, of his deeds. So the Olympic show making fun of Jesus was, to Islam, making fun of a prophet.
This started becoming apparent in the 1990’s, When Montemart was not even recognizable. The last time my family visited Paris was the Summer of 2022. We stayed in a gorgeous apartment that belonged to an artist & her daughter who were traveling elsewhere in Europe that week. The neighborhood was not distinguishable from my own then. I live in the most ethnically diverse neighborhood in New York, Jackson Heights. It had nothing but calling card businesses, smoke shops, various grocery stores selling the same foods I am used to that come from Pakistan. It was the dirtiest streets I’ve ever seen, garbage piled everywhere. There was also a lot of youth scoping trains, trying to pick pocket. The beautiful Paris apartments across mine, were visible in the evening light. They were destroyed, filled with piles of rubbish and hanging lines of clothing. It was truly depressing. I will never return their again. My children were expecting Paris, not Queens, NYC. It was the saddest trip.
As a French person, I can't agree more with this video ... It's no longer a French country, we've pretty much become an "Islamic tendril" over the years ... and even in France, Parisiens are a joke, nobody likes them, they think because they're the capital of the country they're better than everyone else. I haven't met a Parisien in Bordeaux who doesn't behave like that.
My parents moved from France to Canada in 1951. I was born in Canada with French citizenship as well. The SECOND they impose this stupid tax, I will revoke my citizenship. France/Europe are third world countries anyway and I do not even go back to visit because it is too dangerous.
I think also a big part of this is, Japanese cities from Tokyo on down are incredibly clean and well kept. That’s the anchoring point a first-time Japanese tourist is bringing with them: their idea of what a city is like takes Tokyo etc as its starting point. Thus, the disillusioning contrast with the reality of Paris, full of trash, human waste, and Africans, is as extreme as possible.
Agreed about Nippon. Was blessed to date a Japanese woman, and had a half dozen really good Japanese friends, all met as exchange students in America. Misaki, Minori, Hidenori, Ayako, Yuka, and Yoko...cleanest place, nicest people I've ever encountered.

I remember there was a time when Europeans popularly could not understand the racial/ethnic unrest we had in the US. Now, due to mass immigration, Europe has received a master class in diversity where it doesn’t belong. I’m sorry you’ve had to experience this to understand.
Right. Europeans always seemed to judge American's as "ray-ciss" but now that they're drowning in 3rd World migration themsleves, they're getting firsthand experience of what it's like to deal with people so foreign to their own taking over their country. I hate to see Europe facing the same issue the U.S. has been struggling with since the 1950's, but as they say, there is no teacher like direct experience. We're all in the same boat, sadly.

As a Frenchwoman, I just have to agree with everything you say. Most French people know it and agree, except for that tiny wealthy minority who lives in the the most expensive districts at the center of the city and who are persuaded that everything about them is good and "progressive". Most of them are either boomers from the so-called "May 68" era which brought about the monstrosity everyone saw at the Olympics or the leftist kids educated by that same pseudo-elite whose values are just a devious way to claim a "higher morality". Sadly, boomers are currently the largest White population in France by now, for many reasons, which is also a huge problem for Slavic countries as well. What's worse, those same Parisians who have left Paris for the reasons you've mentioned have moved to smaller cities like Nantes, Bordeaux, Lyon or Strasbourg and, because they always vote left, these ctities are slowly but surely becoming plagued with migrants, modern architecture and overall chaos like in Paris. And once the city is no longer livable, they just change and continue that same cycle forever and now they're going abroad to do the exact same thing, like in Switzerland, Luxemburg, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands for instance.
That's exactly what happens in America. Liberal realise the State they live in is a craphole because of the progressive governments they've voted for. They then move to a Red State and continue to vote in the same old way until that State is similarly ruined. They're like a swarm of locusts. Your grasp of English is very impressive by the way.
@@thomas5585 That's why they must be stopped. Western countries' worst enemies aren't outsiders but insiders who just hate Western democracies because they fail to incarnate what is great about them and just want to bring everybody down with them so they themselves can feel better and have the illusion of a "better world without Whites".
The Paris that Japanese want to see and embrace is in the old movies where people are polite, welcoming and helpful. 12 years ago a beautiful friend went there and no one would even help her order dinner. As she left the restaurant everyone shouted Japanese go home. Being American I couldn’t understand why they would treat her so rudely. I said it’s their loss and welcome home.

I don't know about Paris Syndrome, but as someone who is born and raised in Southern California, I can tell you about Hollywood Syndrome. I have friends and family from South East Asia who have come to visit and always want to see the magic of Hollywood. And every single time I always warn them to be prepared for disappointment, but time and time again, they all return with an exhausted "WTF" look upon their faces.
Hollywood went down the toilet in the 90's when they imported mexicans for cheap labor. The Mexicans were so many they got la raza on visitors and residents. Now there are barely any mexicans since they ran everyone off and business closed and they lost their jobs.
It's the same on the east coast as well. I live in NJ, so naturally we get a lot of people flying in here to go to NYC, because its cheaper than flying directly into NY. I tell them all the time, be prepared, because the city is not what it used to be, but they never listen. They still insist on going, just so they can check it off their list and brag that they've been there, but they always come back disappointed.

A few days before we left, I engaged in conversation, expressing that sentiment, with a Parisian who told me that, as a tourist, "You know nothing!". Rude, perhaps, but spot on. According to him, an underclass was being imported which would, ultimately, destroy the city. It was breaking his heart . . .
And European leader trying to preserve their country's culture and identity is labelled a racist and fascist. Western and northern Europe will be in for a rude shock but it will be too late by then.

I honeymooned in Paris in 1987. I was SHOCKED by the amount of Muslims in the Left Quarter. It was most unsettling even back then. I have no wish to return as they’ve given their country over. They rolled over so easy by opening up their borders.
I was there 10 years ago and I'll never go back. Very disappointing. I've convinced people not to go to Paris as the culture has changed and felt unsafe.
The governments' in most Western countries seem to long for this. I am not a psychologist and don't have any degrees, but these things make absolutely no sense to me. I see this same mentality going on where I live and am confounded by this lack of wisdom.
Went in 2009,and to go up the stairs of the Sacre-coeur,had to zig-zag between the vendors that "culturally enriched" it at that time.Let's just say that they somewhat agressively tried to get money out of tourists.But Parisians weren't as bad as the rumors said they were.Pigalle was true to it's reputation,45 seconds after coming up from the subway a hooker accosted me :) Paris must be so bad nowadays.
Been there in the 90s as a kid (for 3 days)...saw the attractions (Eiffel-Tower, Versailles, Disney Land, their War Museum (kid me dragged my mother in there, despite the fact she hates weapons...I loved it!) etc.)...but yeah, other than the attractions and boulevards (so places where you'd find tourists!) it was pretty run down (especially the subway! Damned, it stank! Worse than the Subway in Barcelona, London, München and even the trainstations etc. in Berlin!)...then again: London and Berlin have places that look pretty bad, too (hell: Berlin is chronically broke, despite the fact that it is Germany's largest city and has a supposedly healthy start-up-scene etc.)
Florence is being ruined by the same forces, Santa Maria Novella station has a group of illegals standing on the stairs and acting live savages 20 hours a day (they are too busy between 5 AM and 9 AM). For the same reason the area of Cascine is dangerous. Don't get me wrong leagues ahead of London and Paris, but it is not the same city of 20 years ago.

Gross, everything is a 30+ minute drive, assuming it isn’t closed/vandalized, nothing but mariachi music blaring everywhere and strung-out zombies.

I visited Paris in '82. It was already then the rudest and dirtiest city I had ever been to. It was already then overrun by north Africans and was an open toilet for both dog and human wastes. The French incessantly smoked in restaurants, brought dogs in to eat with them even if others were allergic to dogs, let their dogs eat off their plates in the restaurants and all this while not one of the "Frenchmen", if any even existed back then, would help a tourist by saying so much as one word in English. 42 years ago I proclaimed to myself that France was a country in decline and that it would never recover. Sounds like my prophesies were correct.

Jean, just curious, have you encoutered at all the relatively recent phenomena of Brits moving to rural France, looking for abandoned properties for sale, or otherwise places that need a lot of renovation or restoration, and are thus relatively or even very cheap compared to properties in the UK? Everything from simple farm cottages all the way up to full chateau estates. It has become popularised by YT channels such as Escape to Rural France, Sean's World, Life of Ryan, Chateau Life, The Pethericks, How to Renovate a Chateau, Bordeux Life and many others (though Ryan grew up in France so his perspective is a little different, but his MO is the same, he bought a terraced house for 15K Euro, ie. 18K with fees included). Channels like Sean's World and Sean's Universe often show rural French life to be of a nature that Britain once had but has largely been lost; the village-wide Vide Grenier, Brocantes, Emmaus, etc. It reminds me of rural Wiltshire in the 1970s, where I lived as a child. Even at the higher end of the market, websites such as Le Nail have to a Brit what appear to be incredible value properties listed, such as the 17th century mansion house estate in the Mayenne department for only 600K Euro; or for those willing to put in the time & effort, a 19th century 4-bedroom house in the Deux-Sevres department for only 275K Euro, set amid almost 6 acres of land, with a lake, outbuildings, etc. Honestly if it weren't for family ties and practical matters, I would consider such a move, though only if I learned French first (which would be life come full circle perhaps, as my father was a French teacher long ago). I have a friend in London who is moving to southern France very soon, he already speaks fluent French and thus has that advantage. He said London is lost, and he desires the better weather as he approaches retirement. I found a French property market report which stated that due to the nature of French inheritance law, there are now some 2.8 million abandoned or derelict properties around France, but at any one time only about 8% of them are on the market, though one can strive to find those not listed by searching locally, knocking on the doors of neighbours, asking around local shops, etc. I used Google Street View to have a look at a typical random village (Mainsat, in the Creuse department) and indeed it has a large number of empty houses, some in such a bad state the roof has collapsed, yet only a few have for-sale signs visible. I just wondered to what extent rural or small-town native French people are aware of this trend and its rising popularity, and it also made me ponder, why are the urban and suburban ethnically native French not doing the same thing? Or perhaps they are but the supply side of the market is so high, a few Brits coming over barely makes a dent. Either way, it means the cities become ever more devoid of native French, creating a bizarre divide between the urban and non-urban areas, which is already very much the case in the UK. There are caveats of course, those such as Dan (of Escape to Rural France) and Ryan have commented frequently on the high cost of building materials in France, likewise the complexities & difficulties of product availability, but even so, the appeal of rural area life is doubtless regarded as more than worth it, though one can't escape what happens at a national level in terms of the fallout from leftist state economic and other policies. In the US there are what one could regard as equivalent channels, though with a more offgrid leaning, such as Bushradical, The 2nd Empire Strikes Back, Betting on Alaska, Truck House Life, Girl in the Woods, etc., probably because land availability and less restrictive laws in parts of the US mean this approach has greater appeal, again if one is willing to put in the work required, and can cope with the caveats of location (such as in Alaska).
I took the wife and kids there in 2018. Only the very center (Notre Dame) was tolerable. The rest of Paris was horrendous. We escaped to Bayeux and liked it a lot. It sickens me to think that is has become even worse in the subsequent six years.
french here, paris is for me or was, the most beautiful city in the world but since the late 60 the hard left took over the country and with decades paris became a third world place full of migrant unsafety and dirt everywher, the gouv does not give a single shit (they are pro imigration and quite comunist) so hard to have the good old parsi back, the situation is that bad for me that i am planning of living aboard in the near future and i just wish paris could be like in the giid old days, like when my grandparents describe it ti me, it sound heavenly but now the city is no longer the city of love fashion or romance
I went to Paris on a school trip from the UK back in 2010. We had been to Normandy to visit the beaches, go to the war cemeteries where I got to visit my grandfather's cousin's grave. Then we went to Paris. We only really had a very rushed afternoon on a very hot day. We had lunch near the Eiffel Tower and a boat trip on the Seine. Then we were taken to the hotel which was on the outskirts and there didn't seem to be many native French and it felt scary we were only 11 and especially the girls had a bad feeling about it. The manager warned us especially us girls to not leave our rooms and keep them locked and bolted. Our parents were very angry at the school for booking a hotel in an area like that.
@@illliiiiillliii6265 Us french don't flee much, we don't have a big culture of migrating despite the colonial past (see the difference between the English American settlement colonies vs the mostly empty French Canada and Louisiana). But the most frustrated Frenchmen usually go for Switzerland (the part that speaks French) or Quebec. There is also a big French diaspora in London but it is mostly for business reasons, I think most of them came for good jobs in their sectors that happened to be there (and since it's next door to Northern France with the Channel tunnel...). For now, most frustrated Parisians flee to other big French cities, namely Bordeaux, Lyon, Lille, Nantes, etc. But those are becoming little Paris because of them (high prices and immigrants coming there too). If you're American, it's just the same as that proverbial Californian that flees to Texas only to export the Californian ways that he fled in the first time... So you have Parisians going to these big secondary cities, and the inhabitants of these big cities flee the Parisians (and their policies lol) by going to the countryside. Living in the Creuse department (very very remote part of France) was a joke before, now it's actually many people's dream lol (if only there was work there xD)
Been to Paris a couple times recently. While the central tourist area with all the monuments is a must-see, step one foot outside that area and it's Turkey meets South Central.
The Dark Ages was during the Christianization of Europe. Don't forget the genocide of the Celtic, Slavic, German, and Scandinavian pagans. The real Ancient Europeans. The Catholic inquisition, before applied to genocide the Pagan Incas and Mayans, was applied to genocide the Pagan White peoples. Don't forget that the Renaissance was the revival of Ancient Pagan culture.
I was in Paris in early 2000's, and it certainly is painfully and extremely different now. I could not recommend anyone to visit the city as it is today.
I disagree. It’s more a slow change that has been under way for at least 50 years. It started in academia, a hornet’s nest of leftism. Then it spread to the rest of society. And here we are now. Finding ourselves already defeated, as a western culture.
Deconstruction and critical theory, come from France, so there was rot there all along. Ideas matter, and some of the worst ideas come from France. They certainly did a great job deconstructing their nation and culture, tragically.
The French Revolution and Enlightenment were the origin of Bolshevism, Atheism, and Western Liberalism/Wokism. If you want to revive France, return to Medieval time!
I visited Paris in the early 90's, and rude Parisians aside (I get not liking tourists), the city was vibrant, clean, and safe. It's sad to see/hear of how far it's fallen. Like many European countries. Hopefully their people will take back their city, history, etc. and the world will once again long to visit and marvel at its history, architecture, food, etc.
Austrian painter was just as bad as Corsican math nerd. Seriously, why you want to destroy Russia? Without Russia Europe is doomed. Can't you idiots see that?
When my wife and I took the train from the Paris Airport to the city center we were shocked at how much we missed the relative safety and beauty of the South Bronx.
I remember that. It's also fun once you shake the initial awe, turn around and watch the latest tourist walk in as their eyes hit the ceiling and their jaws just drop while they are paralyzed. Amazing experience.
I am an Italian American. I've always wanted to visit Italy... My husband said I'd be disappointed because Of the exalted view of I have Of Italia, for me, Italy is caught in a time-warp circa 1580... It is, therefore, a beautiful dream. I started doing some research on the Italy of today and it is far different country than I imagined and my mother described. That isn't a disease. There are two realities... the one of 2024 and the one in our minds, between, our temples. I really do think my heart would break if It was an entire disappointment. It's not an illness, it's what happens when our dreams and exterior reality don't mesh at all... there are no similarities.
I had been to France as teenager in the 1989. I went back as an adult in 2000. I was shocked in 2000 how much things had changed for the worse. Paris was already completely flooded with foreigners. It has only become worse over the decades.
You forgot Lima Syndrome. Which is the opposite of Stockholm, where the hostage taker starts to have feelings for their hostages. But maybe that's just feeling guilty for being a POS
LOL when I was a kid in the 70’s and 80’s a disease could be found under a microscope as it was an organism. My school teacher did not like it when I asked what the disease of “alcoholism “ looked like under a microscope. Now nearly everything is a disease or syndrome, or “illness”😂.
