Paris is the definition of beauty, cultural richness and elegance. It is the most enviable city in the world when it comes to that.

If you think Paris is ugly, then there is no accounting for taste. lol.

There is some nice parts but the ride from the Airport to your Hotel is not really pleasant seeing how most people in the Paris area live... They may love it but that kind of lifestyle sure it sure aint for me.

This ride shows former industrial parts around highways and train tracks and many of the poorest districts, it is not at all representative of how the majority live.

I can't stand European cities, way too old and very ugly.
What's wrong with old?

A lot of American cities are in a rather sad state, much of the focus has left to the outskirts. The city centers are kinda empty and devoid of people on the street and sometimes a bit pedestrian unfriendly. There's a lot of rather hideous newer development, particularly the generic and bland strip mall style commercial roads.

I like how quiet some European cities can be on small, narrow side streets even in the city center. Downtowns in most American don't really have the same cozy feel.

Yes that is extremely typical of residential areas in suburban Paris.

OMG... you think Omaha and Florida hotels are prettier than coastal spain, france and italy... that is definitely a first I've ever heard of such. I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder...

Also lol at you picking out the Banlieu's of Paris ... definitely have a bone to pick...

Lets reverse that
