Yahoo!: Paris voted Europe's most overrated city....

Another %26quot;gem%26quot; from Yahoo!: …yahoo.com/s/…us_travel_europe

There is only one logical explanation for this. The people that voted Paris Europe%26#39;s most overrated city have been smoking crack.




|||



You started out on the right foot with your 1st post, denver!




|||



The good news is that those of us who love and appreciate Paris won%26#39;t have to deal with as many people who don%26#39;t %26quot;get%26quot; Paris - more good times for us

This is a TripAdvisor poll, right? That%26#39;s the company which advertises 20 million traveler(sic) reviews %26amp; opinions? And they%26#39;ve got about 2000 people to do a poll? How was it managed? All of them packed off to every city for a short break so that it%26#39;s a considered, current view of European cities? (If so, count me in for the next study :-) ) Or was it a quick online click button survey with no controls and plenty of prejudices? (in which case, not actually worth the bandwidth).



Hmm, let me think ... cheap publicity and increased traffic ....



Blast, just walked into the trap ;-)

Well if London is more expensive than Paris, I guess we will not be going to London.



Just returned from 8th +/- trip to Paris and am just about done with Paris. So-so food at high prices! Since the change to the Euro all of europe has gotten more expensive, not even counting the poor exchange rate. A beer used to cost 10-20 francs now it costs 7-10 euros- 6francs=1 euro.



France is still on the %26quot;to visit list%26quot; but not Paris.




|||



Is this bad news? Does Paris need more tourists?







allesvoorjouw - where are you buying beers?




|||





I suspect the majority of voters are the same ones who%26#39;ll always tell you how rude the French are!

Sarasto:



Spent 7-19 euros at various cafe%26#39;s around the Les Halles district. True you can get them much cheaper from a store and take back to hotel room, but not much %26quot;atmosphere%26quot; there.




|||



sorry that is 7 to 9 euros NOT 19 EUROS.

Does this mean I will always get a seat on the metro?
