Paris syndrome is a sense of extreme disappointment exhibited by some individuals when visiting Paris, who feel that the city was not what they had expected. The condition is commonly viewed as a severe form of culture shock.
The syndrome is characterized by a number of psychiatric symptoms such as acute delusional states, hallucinations, feelings of persecution (perceptions of being a victim of prejudice, aggression, hostility from others), derealization, depersonalization, anxiety, as well as psychosomatic manifestations such as dizziness, tachycardia, sweating most notably, but also others, such as vomiting.
While the syndrome has been particularly noted among Japanese tourists, it has also affected other travelers or temporary residents from East and Southeast Asia, such as those from China, South Korea, and Singapore.
I’m just not sure what people expect from a country most well known for cuckolder y across the centuries. Just read Casanova’s autobiography (who as an average European fathered a child with his own 14 tear old daughter too btw)
there is also the Tokyo syndrome for French visiting Japan
France and Japan are really two faces of the same coin
Imagine being so disappointed by a city you become depressed. East Asian moment.
I'm German and I suffered from this in Paris. Saw all the historical stuff and good museums and now have now 0 zero desire to ever go there again.
@@cdrw92 Tokyo syndrome is NOWHERE near the level of Paris syndrome. Mostly because Tokyo is clean and well kept. It is hard to find your way though if you don't speak the language and because the city is so enormous, not to mention most people in Tokyo are rude and would straight up ignore you if you asked them a question. Hokkaido is probably the best possible place in Japan you could go because of the natural beauty, lack of an enormous population and the people are country folk (outside of Sapporo) and tend to be much nicer considering tourists are much rarer to come across on the island.
As an Indigenous person from a rural village of Michoacan, Mexico, near Tzintzuntzan, who has never visited Paris, nor any major town outside of Jiquilpan, I can decree with 100% certainty that this is accurate.

Honestly, as a Dutch person who has visited Paris, I can safely say that both are true. Paris is beautiful and ugly at the same time. It's just that the ugly side is a lot more commonly seen, and that's where Paris Syndrome comes from.
Paris suffers from two drawbacks. 1) it's a large city, and like all large cities worldwide it has its good sides and bad sides. The monuments and the nice neighborhoods are still there, but unfortunately also bad neighborhoods as well as increasing crime. And, let's face it, it's often dirty. 2) overtourism, which attracts invasive crowds, scammers (incl. a number of restaurants) and pickpockets. Like all overly touristic places worldwide, it has definitely become a place to avoid at certain times of the year.. You can try to see the "real FranceT outside Paris (and the Riiviera), which is not so crowded, where people are usually not so stressed, therefore nicer.
I live in Paris and sometimes people forget how big this city is, and how it’s divided in TWENTY arrondissement. It’s the biggest city in FRANCE and there’s literally everything. Theres les “beaux quartiers” (beautiful neighbours) 5-6-7th arrondissement
And ghetto neighbours as i like to call them 💀💀 (#20th and 18th), and other arrondissement which have so much cool things and are really cute bc tourist are always in the same places, so parisian can easily breathe in these areas (#13th, #12th)
Paris suffers from one draw back: Being at the center of a Satanic GlobaIist Bankster Reordering of The World; Accompanied 1st by The Western Genocide, & 2nd By The Human Genocide.
See “HowBigOiIComqrdTheWorId” for how eugenics faked its def (By JCorbett; also check his “CenturyofEnsIvement” & which compliments his “TheWWIConsprcy”.
Basically the city has been run to the ground by leftist mayors and greens for decades. Now it has migrants, crime and is dirty. They destroy everything they put their hands on.
3) Mass and unregulated immigration and full of leftists everywhere, with african selling miniature eiffel towers and dirty streets, with too litle waste container.
Ironically the waste container or "poubelle" has been invented by a french, Eugène Poubelle,
But it's a similar problem in every western capital with left policies I guess 💀

Idk, I went to Paris and I thought it was beautiful. Sure, every city has it's pros and cons but Paris was actually fairly enjoyable. The only thing that bothered me was how many scam type groups were ripping people off.
Are you talking about the guys walking around offering bottles of wine, with blankets laid out full of trinkets and all shady af? They are definitely so abundant as hell. But these guys are also in every other major city - Rome, Lisbon, New York City, etc. - so you get used to it.

That “too many French people” could have literally been written by anyone in Europe…even a Frenchman
I've heard about the Paris Syndrom, so my expectations were at the lowest when I had to come there and study for 6 months as an exchange university student.
And you know what? I think Paris Syndrom is a coin of two sides. On one side, you have people who get disillusioned from the picture-perfect idea of Paris. On the other, there are people like me, who expect to see a dirty slum and instead find a city full of beauty.
Yes, Paris has a SERIOUS trash problem. Streets are crowded. Homeless people are wild.
But hey, all it takes to see Paris beauty is to look up. Literally. Look up to see the beautiful buildings and monuments. To lay your eyes on impressive scapes. Soon enough, behind piles of trash and dirt you start to see the famous beauty of Paris. Yes, it is not displayed for all to see. But it is there. After spending six months in Paris, I have to say, it is one of the most beautiful cities on Earth still (and I traveled a lot and have acute desire for aesthetics).
I also have to compliment people of Paris for their unique energy. Yes, some people are not someone you want to be around. But even they have this undescribable spirit. It's childlike in a sense of unbound energy and expressiveness. Feminine in a sense of wanting to let everyone around to know how you feel and make sure they feel good (or bad, depending on the situational need). I loved everyone I met in Paris, and I met homeless, prostitutes, stressed shop owners, alcoholics, businessmen, police officers, white colar workers and more.
One interaction that happened in Paris I will remember for my whole life due to how dear it is to me. I passed a ticket gate in a subway and was about to go on my business. However, I saw an old French lady fiddling with the gate. It didn't let her through, does not matter how mighty she tried (and she tried!) In the end, she decided to crawl under. My manners told me that I have to give the old lady my hand so she can use it to stand up. I stretched my palm as the lady passed the gate under. She took my hand! She stood up. Then, she looked at me, smiled and said in the sweetest voice: "Merci".
For me, this occurance allowed me to experience that I had long imagined to be the Romance of Paris. The situation was romantic. Not in a sense of eros, but in a sense sublime beauty of the passing moment. Moment of pure affection between two human beings.
In the six months I spend in Paris, I made many memories dear to me. The beauty is there. Give it a chance. If all fails, simply look up. Unless you are blind, beauty won't escape your eyes.
Wow, you truly like the place, but let me reassure you, most people are only here to trashtalk about Paris (they are French too), and most never came here to visit, maybe to work for some. The Internet is not the true reputation that Paris holds worldwide, it is still the most desired destination on earth, so of course it draws many haters
@@mathieuschafer1360 The one actual problem with this part of the internet is that too often people confuse an elaborate joke with reality and that can seriously become problematic over time.
@@Arcaryon true dat, they're just ignorant about a lot of stuff (me included), so when you hear or see smth that is a joke you can not recognize if you don't know the joke, you take for granted. And this is why many ppl think Paris is a dangerous, dirty place. Not a big deal imo, only if they're dumb enough to refuse an actual opportunity to go there because of what they heard
@@mathieuschafer1360 Ce n'est pas juste Internet mais les rues qui sont dégueulasses et le métro qui pue la pisse, la colline du crack, les vendeurs à la sauvette, les trafiquants de drogues qui vendent librement sur les quais de la Seine le soir, l'insécurité, l'impossibilité pour les femmes de se déplacer dans certains quartiers ou le danger de sortir seul à une certaine heure le soir.
Heureusement l'intégralité de Paris n'est pas comme ça, mais il y a un véritable travail de fond à faire sur notre capitale, qui reste magnifique et a de très beaux atout, juste régler le problème de l'immigration, de la sécurité et de la propreté et on sera bon sur la ville lumière !!! :D

I visited Paris recently and was actually somewhat suprised by how much i like it. Didnt visit any tourist attractions other than Pere Lachaise (which i loved), just walked around a bit and really liked the vibes. Sure it's dirty but what do you expect from a big city lol. Anyways Im actually gonna move to Paris (not rlly bc i like paris, it was just more a process of elimination, would move to Madrid but the weather sucks).
What vibe ? Paris is a war zone, you can't enter if you don't speak arabic.
Went there in 2016.

Avoid Paris "intra-muros". Go to the suburbs. Avoid the 93 (Seine Saint-Denis), but everywhere else is fine. Not as dirty as Paris (still a bit dirty tho), there are a lot of shops and things to do, but Paris is easily accessible thanks to the metro and RER, and everything is cheaper (except for the Casino brand shops.

I have visited Paris fairly often - what I can say is that it’s both but a lot more of the glory than the gloom. It has stunning architecture, an impressive array of exceptional museums and the atmosphere is usually great.
But it’s also one of the places where you can really see what happens when a society has unsolved problems that are not really all that bad if you address them before they have time to grow but if they keep going on, while they do not ruin life, they are quite inconvenient.
I have also been to quite a few other places in France as well and one thing that sticks out about Paris to me compared to Warsaw, Berlin or Barcelona is honestly just that people seem to try to compare this much larger and especially from a European perspective quite gigantic hub of the French society with other cities and not countries.
If you stop to think of Paris as a city and start to think of it like a region, it becomes clear that people are not understanding France at all.
It’s one of the most democratic centralised states in Europe and consequently, all of the kinds of problems France may encounter due to poor people ( often foreign born migrants ) migrating to cheap neighbourhoods in its capital, despite many poor people also making it out of the bad areas again, many stay, creating a circle where some districts become crab buckets as the Anglophones like to say, places where the people who could make a difference try to get away from, leaving the rest to drift into bad habits and hard life’s.
And this matters because the discussion is HEAVILY based around this very immigration to the point where excluding it makes any attempt at understanding this city pointless.
Everyone who isn’t a fool knows that the French love to get involved in politics, frequent demonstrations and also for the fringes riots. And the capital, being the behemoth dominating France that it is, consequently gets both of those things en mass and that means that if you are visiting, plan your trip with foresight.
Don’t expect to find a city you have only ever seen on touristy movies but a region which can amplify both the beautiful and the ugly sides of urban life.
Also, while this that should usually go without saying, France is bigger than Paris and if you only listen to news reports your perspective is usually very much distorted. It’s like thinking that every cities in the USA is like Chicago - the difference is that the USA is much less centralised and so its poor migrants tend to speak Spanish instead of French and have much more room to spread out, preventing the conditions I mentioned from occurring in too many places.
Democratic? 🤡

@@ni9274the metros are full of blacks tho
Ain't NO WAY it's 90% white lmao@@ni9274
Only racists say that lmaooo, t'as cru que tout le monde allait te soutenir Charlie 💀
As a french, I can say that Paris is a shithol
Went to Paris a few weeks ago it was honestly great only downside was that my Irish self got sick of the heat I was kinda glad of the wind and rain when I got off the Ryanair in Belfast
Man, of course you're glad to Come off a Ryanair plane lol
Man I remember my visit, my dad almost got pick pocketed, I got a sore throat from all the smoking, the Eiffel tower was closed because of the threat of domestic terrorism, and our hotel gave us bedbugs. The food was good though.
I actually really enjoyed Paris when I went, this was during the riots too, which I found amazing to watch lol
People just love to act like Paris is some sort of cesspool while it’s just a fairly big city.
It got bad areas, it got homelessness and if you stick to the touristy areas you won’t encounter much of either outside of the poor migrants trying to sell you some trinket and if you are particularly unlucky some homeless drunk that’s not been picked up by the police yet and the funniest part to me is the city is so used to the riots that people drinking wine while folks clash in the background against riot police aren’t so much of a meme but rather symptomatic of a city whose chaotic city is so predictable that I am always surprised when people fail to understand how well the protests are often contained and how fast the aftermath is cleaned up.
@@Arcaryonyeah it’s totally fine. It does smell like pee though.
@@Arcaryon Show me in Tokyo where that happens.
As a french living near Paris i totally agree with this
I always love when you randomly throw in some jazz or female bulgarian choral music
As a french living at 25 km of paris i can certify this video is 100% accurate
As someone who played assassins creed unity, I can confirm that I know more about Paris than french "people" itself
I am an absolute sucker for memes a geo stuff and history and this is absolutely brilliant you mad lad KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!!
Sooo many better place to visit in France than Paris. The Hauts de France region and Alsace are wonderful places to visit for example
Or Bretagne.
The haut de france was never a think ...never!!@ from picardie.
@@maximeperez-raymond3346you’re correct ❤❤
La Loire aussi c’est bien pour les châteaux et aussi bien sûr la Bretagne!!
the best part about my city (florida) is that the expectations and reality are the exact same. so no disappointments!
I mean, I guess the whole Miami-Broward area feels like one massive city, but brother, wtf does "my city (florida)" even mean???
the great city of florida
Big city tho
Ok let's get it straight. I was borned and raised in Paris, well right next to it.
It is dirty in some places. You may run into a protest, if so leave, there's nothing intresting to see and come back after.
There's a shit tone of traffic jams.
Quite a few homeless people.
Lot of immigration, near the Sacré Coeur it might be pretty unsafe for your iPhone.
Smells like shit in some places.
BUT
It's outsandingly beautiful.
Architecure is like nowhere else. ( Been to some nice place like Rome, Dubrovnik, La Valetta and in all honsty Paris is just different in a good way )
In the "touristic" spots it's actually safe and relatily clean.
Bars and coffees are pretty much always good, though some people might seem a bit rude.
Atmosphere is insane.
Few places you should definitly go :
-Louvre. Especially "Cour Carrée" you'll feel like you time traveled back in the 1200s especially during late sunset )
-Sacré Coeur. Get a takeaway coffe at the bottom of Montmartre hill, climb up there and enjoy the amazing panoramic view on Paris. Get there at dawn, you'll be alone. Around the Sacré Coeur Basilica, you'll be in a medivial vibe which is insane. To me it's the most intresting place in Paris. On top of the hill, next to the Sacre Coeur there is the " Place du Tertre" a square place with bars and a lot of painters. )
-Panthéon : A place where are burried important people. But it's also a beautiful building that often seems to be forgotten by tourists. There is the Luxembourg park right next to it. You'll enjoy the beauty of the place.
-Wander in the "Marais", it's in the center of Paris, a lot of nice little streets, lots of shops, coffees etc. Near from the Louvre too.
-Go to the bar called " Le Royal ", a very good bar where you can eat the best burger of all times. It's like really good. And enjoy a nice crème brulée.
During winter, Champs Elysée are nice, but like Hollywood Boulevard it's a little weird, lots of roadmans doing their roadman things. idk.
Paris is amazing, you definitly won't be disapointed if you're like ready to discover new smells in the underground train, see some trash here and there and cross path with some rioters.
I love Paris, vive la France
Just imagine the lack of culture and depth for one to focus on the Eiffel Tower from all the treasures of Paris.
i cant help but notice that you didnt mention the ocean of brown people
now that i think of it it almost feels like you carefully selected the clips without them
That's all these videos are. They serve to demoralise those who actually know
I was born in Paris and i agree, Birmingham >>> Paris don't listen to the french propaganda !!
(Btw Léo you should visit Marseille it's even more of a meme)
Go to Seine-Saint Denis its even more of a meme
@@comelevi2995 Bro i litterly live there, Noisy-le-Grand is litteraly the french Birmingham
@@Marius-er5dr thats real this is litteraly africa bro
Don't talk about Marseille, you've never been to Marseille.
@@Marius-er5drbro lives in french algeria😂😂😂😂😂
As a japanese who went to Paris , it is accurate
I'm french, and trust me, it is like this.
Sad country, wasted potential
Paris isn't a country
Then gtfo here
You understood what i said.
It's the same everywhere@@scylax4091
Bro fr no cap your uploads make my day king
And the ungodly amount of migrants
And the dude is named "berbère civilisé"
@@mathieuschafer1360 ironic isn’t it? I hold no tribal obligations, I don’t mind telling the truth😄. I am no longer in France 🇫🇷
@@berberecivilise2825 how Can you be more xenophobic than a native French lol 🤣
@@mathieuschafer1360 i can’t be xenophobic 🤷♂️
@@berberecivilise2825 well you are, as a stranger you hate strangers, weird but why not ?
My uncle used to live in Paris, and whenever he comes to visit us in the summer, he just can't shut up on how that city is trash and depressing 😭💀
The subway audio had me dying, always a good mood to comute too. Unless you are on rer c and it’s everyday either a party or a survival crash course
You mispelled "D" with "C"
For anyone wondering, the birmingham reviews song is Kaval Sviri
Saying Paris has to many french people is crazy
As a portuguese that has never been to Paris, i can say that Lisbon is better 🇵🇹
less attractive for migrants so it's not fair comparison
About to complete a 3 month placement in the city today. To be fair, my expectations have already been adjusted so I'm not expecting it all to be perfect haha
As a person who have never been in both cities I agree with your opinion 100%
Paris? Last time I was there I thought I was in some town of Argelia. There were more women dressed like ninjas than in an Otaku convention.
I was actually quite pleased to see that Paris was a "dirty city" like New York in my brief visit there. I was only there for a few hours waiting for my train, but the drunk, presumably homeless man shouting on the RER sure made it feel like home.
what surprises me more is not garbage on the streets not crime not crowds of cannibals and shahids but why do the French vote for all this?
Least biased Bri'ish about France (he's very neutral)
The thing with Paris is that even if quite dirty it's a very walkable city because of the wide streets and numerous squares, far more walkable than London or Barcelona in my experience
Ty immigration
Mini tips : if you want to visit France Paris is not the only city you can come at Nice Strasbourg Lyon and other little cities like this is better for you (Marseille is like... Chicago so...carefull)
As a french, i approuve this vidéo AND we can Also speak about the resonable housing price in paris
Paris was probably the most beautiful city to visit during the 20th century, nowadays there are a lot ahead.
But hey, France is amazing and tourists should try other parts of the country, mont Saint-Michel, Carcassonne, puy du fou, Bretagne, corsica etc
I always remember how Family Guy put it when asked why Paris is considered romantic:
"The buildings are beautiful, the people are trash."
As a Parisian I can tell you it's bad and it's getting worse
Speaking of rat meat baguettes, Ive actually had a dog meat doner kebab in Pazardzhik, Bulgaria back around 2006.
It's true, went there in the 90s and it was pleasant. Went again in the late 2010s, it's trash now. Illegal immigrants were rampant, everything was smelly & it felt unsafe to walk at night.
Bro said this from the fucking UK lmfaoo
@@mathieuschafer1360 cool, you went into my profile just to find that out. Btw I was only there for a few years.
@@Hamdoe actually people saying this kind of crap is either from US and UK, US because they're still mad about Irak, and UK, because you know, they are not really "independant" nowadays
@@mathieuschafer1360 No, my sister was in Paris a couple of years ago, she said it's the worst city she's ever been to, it smelled of p1ss and sh1t, same comments about safety, it felt unsafe even during the daytime. And it's not just tourists, I literally knew a bunch of French women, every single one of them echoed the sentiments.
